i got one of those "congratulations" cards from Steinhardt. I was shocked (and extremely elated). lol

i only got a 1300/1600 on my SAT. 670 on both SAT Subject tests (literature and history)
3.9uw/4.3w GPA.
Average ECs that showed focus on music, a few leadership positions
Amazing recs and essay. I wrote about being biracial, which i think was a major hook for me.

Steinhardt isn't as competitive as CAS and Stern (as you can tell by my stats).

there's almost no point in looking at stats of people accepted in the other schools. it really depends on the school you applied to.

I got into CAS. I cannot believe it.

3.4 GPA
SAT: 2150/1430
I'm the managing editor of my school paper, copy editor of the yearbook, heavily involved in school plays, deeply involved in dance. That's it.

I'm a good writer? Could I be the only person in the entire world to get in on the strength of her essay?

I got into Stern and I'm only in the second decile of my public school class; I was surprised. SATs were pretty good though (2200) but EC's were rather boring.

I know someone with an 1140 who got in... In all honesty, I don't think getting into NYU is as difficult as people make it seem.

haha you might be right Rosh. being able to actually GO there is a lot harder than getting admitted.

Just wait until the rejections are mailed out.

We'll see if we'll think the same.
