| Travel arrangements do not equal 'living a good distance from NY' :)
triumph, I think you have misunderstood what people have said. The invitations are definitely not distance based. They are, indeed, sent out to a relatively small group of accepted students who have been identified as some 'top' students. How this group is chosen has never really been definitively explained by NYU. However, it is the group that NYU wants to 'convince' to enroll as freshmen in the fall.
The invitations are sent out prior to the official acceptance packages so that those who happen to require travel arrangements are able to make those arrangements. This doesn't mean that every student who will be attending will have to fly to NYC for the event. It just means that people have time to plan, regardless of where they live. Even those who have to drive will, presumably, have to make some arrangements. The event for Tisch is on April 5. If they didn't send the invitations earlier than the official letters, some students would have less than a week to make those plans. |
