<p>Don’t fret, they probably put the wrong info on the site. Haha I think they were as mixed up as us. But here’s what the vp of admissions said in an email:</p>
<p>Dear Aaron,</p>
<p>From our access to the Common Application control center, the portal by which we access all applications to NYU, we can see that you have indicated you may be applying to one of NYU’s campuses. I must alert you that your Common Application has not been submitted to NYU and our deadline is quickly approaching.</p>
<p>Please know that if you have submitted your application fee and NYU Supplement, you likely received an email confirmation showing receipt of these two items. Still, this does not mean you have submitted your Common Application to NYU. You must still take the appropriate steps to submit your Common Application to NYU. If you are unable to do so by our deadline, January 1 at 11:59pm (Eastern Standard Time), we will be unable to consider you for admission - even if you submitted your application fee and NYU Supplement. </p>
<p>So the deadline is 1159pm EST on 1st jan.</p>
