<p>To all who applied to NYU this year - what was the admission decision, and would you mind sharing your GPA/test scores/anything else that might have factored in?</p>
<p>What school do you plan on applying to -Stern, CAS, Tisch. Etc?</p>
<p>Format:
undergraduate college applied to
edI/edII/reg decision
admissions decision
relevant info (sat/act with a cr math writing breakdown, gpa, APs taken, ECs, awards, etc)
opinions as to why you got the accept/reject and what you’ve noticed as a general trend</p>
<p>stern
edII
accepted
CR 720 M 770 WR 670
GPA 3.88
Notable ECs Bank Internship
No awards
Applying ED definitely helped, considering the high volume of SAT 2300+, super ECs people that got waitlisted/rejected in RD. CR/M (SAT reasoning) matters the most from what I’ve seen; writing is definitely secondary. I had few ECs and still got in, which definitely reinforces the common rule that Stern cares most about objective stats.</p>
<p>Tisch
EdII
Accepted
ACT 32 (35R, 34S, 31E, 27M)
GPA 3.6 Top 100 High School with Aps and Honor classes
STrong EC’s, teacher recs, internship, awards, portfolio
Agree EDI or EDII helps.
Visited and toured school and Tisch 2 times (school visit is important)</p>
<p>Congratulations! </p>
<p>I’m planning on applying to the liberal arts program. I got a 1970 on the SAT (but retook it in June, and will receive my scores on Wednesday), and I’ve got probably like a 3.8-9 GPA unweighted, and higher than 4 weighted. </p>
<p>I have really strong ECs - I am interning at HuffPost Live, and am published on HuffPost, I’m going to be leading a Feminist Majority Foundation club in my school, I’ve taken piano for 7 years, etc. </p>
<p>I’ve visited NYU once, and will visit again this summer.</p>
<p>However, I do have a…thing. I was out of school during sophomore year - not my fault - due to really intense family issues. I was NOT ALLOWED to do school, read, write, etc. I know it’s weird…strange situation. However, I did online school (ugh it was awful) and got As, and picked myself up very strongly in 11th grade after returning to school midyear. Even when I was not allowed to read or write, I hid notebooks and pens and made up my own language so I could. It’s a really strange situation and was not my fault, and I’m worried about what colleges will think…</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>@Marinozai With that unique situation, you should definitely make it your personal statement essay in order to explain it and it will also set you apart from other candidates in terms of your unique subject matter.</p>
<p>@florissant Thanks for the advice. What is your affiliation with NYU - applicant/accepted student/attending student/none at all? What do you think my chances are of being offered admissions, considering that I have had a strong academic record?</p>
<p>What do you plan on studying?</p>
<p>Something in the writing realm - I’m considering journalism. I’ve been published on the Huffington Post, am interning at HuffPost Live this summer, and interned for MSNBC on Inauguration Day. I’m also considering taking some computer science classes, but not majoring in it (maybe minoring, but I don’t know). I was the head of design this year in Computer Science, and most of my Huffington Post articles are about technology.</p>
<p>Update - I got my June SAT scores. I got a 2020, so my superscore is 2040.</p>
