<p>I didn’t read every post before this, so forgive me if this has been ruled out already: Is it possible that NYU has referred some CS RD applicants to Poly, which then reviews the applicants. They decided yes or no, and notify the student. At the same time the applicant is still being considered for RD at NYU. Basically what I’m saying is could it be a referral in addition to review for regular NYU (as another option because your a good fit)?</p>
