@gtofu- lol, when did you see my stats?  I had and still have doubts, but I checked the campus and faculty when I went there and they were pretty good. 15 kids who got into HYPS last year chose Nyuad over them- I even talked with one of those on campus. But obviously, I get your point.
Where are you currently enrolled?  |

@leo118- econ and islamiyat were world, business was regional.
yeap, stern is pretty amazing. I met a professor who teaches identical chemical engineering courses at stanford and nyuad, alternating between semesters. seemed pretty cool.

Woah, a very belated congrats I guess. As far as I heard though, distinctions don't hold so much in the ivy admissions process. Sad really, lol!
Stern was one of my dream schools, until on a very unfortunate summer afternoon I found out NYU does not offer Any aid to intls, but that was only for the NY campus I guess.

Why the frack would someone choose NYUAD over HYPS unless it's financial issues.

@gtfotu- you weren't very clear in your previous post why you would only prefer nyuad as a safety (for Ali at least). Can you be a bit more specific?

Considering Ali's stats, I'd say it's not exactly a safety for him, but on the lower side. It's a great school nevertheless. The only problem in the real world is that people will always be like "It's NYUAD, not the real NYU" so that might be a hinderence in one's career.

Oh, alright with that perspective. I'm sure it would still sound better than AUS, so still considering it XD
Are there any opportunities to transfer or study abroad at the NY campus if one gets into the AD one?

Yes, there's a very great chance actually and a lot of people do that. I know someone who transferred to CMU in the US from CMU-Qatar.

@gtfotu- its the experience i guess. plus the professors. i made this friend from the US who got into Princeton EA and into MIT a couple of days ago, and he says he's torn between choosing them over nyuad, if he gets in. if I am lucky enough to get into 2 colleges, I plan on spending every minute of my 30 days of April to decide where I want to go.
@leo118- i don't know about that, but of course i hope they do. | |

Oh, wait, you're talking about americans. See, for them it's compltely different. They choose according to what will fit them, not the name or prestige [that's how you should actually choose a uni -whether it fits you or not] They have this mentality because I mean those unis are in their home country. It's just like LUMS and NUST for them. So it's actually a more exciting experience to go abroad for them

@gtfotu- true, that. i think that's a smart thing to do. we normally don't have the luxury to choose due to financial restraints. plus, where we end up is as much our choice as our parents'.
I didn't apply EA, and the first of of my 12 colleges releases its decision on the 23rd.
