<p>@francaiselove Congratulation. I am so happy for you good luck mate. I know you will excel Inshah Allah :D</p>
<p>@ahtesham Thank you so much, bro. Iāll be praying you get an invite. 
</p>
<p>@quadjo Well Albert is down at the moment, friend. Maybe I can check and let you know once itās back up? Iām sure itās still marked as āUndecidedā, but Iāll check when itās up and let you know. </p>
<p>@kaiseryin Itās great to stay positive. Optimism truly is the best medicine. And youāre right! CW invites went out in batches last year, and hopefully itās the same case this year. </p>
<p>@Daveyyy I donāt care what you say, I still believe in you. :)</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got an invite!!! Itās so wonderful to hear! 
Iām just about finishing up my application. Sending in my nomination this week for ED2.
I hope I get as lucky as you guys I really want to get inā¦ haha itād be my only chance of getting in a decent university since my parents are so reluctant on sending me abroad.
Congrats!!!</p>
<p>I just got my invitation!!! Wish to see you all there pals!</p>
<p>I am very worried about something though. Please check the following link and tell me if this is normal</p>

<p>The date reported is 16/11/2012 and the date submitted is 15/11/2012. It also says, āIf the date submitted meets your collegesā and programsā priority filing dates, your application will be considered on time.ā</p>
<p>Am I safe?</p>
<p>Hey osamasayegh I also applied to NYUAD and i am tensed! can u tell me exact how long ago u received the invitation and what were you O and A Level grades? Also did u apply for Engineering?</p>
<p>You should be fine honestly. They would had reported a complication to you if there was something wrong.
Congrats!!!</p>
<p>, well, I had 8 O Levels, (7 A<em>s and an A) 2 A Levels with two A</em>s</p>
<p>I had 11a<em>s in olevel and 2a</em>and a in a levelā¦at What time did u receive the offer today or yesterday?</p>
<p>@rfuzzy, Well, you seem exceptional as well. My belief is that my real asset on the application was extracurricular activities and essays!!! It was last night!!! Good luck to you!!!</p>
<p>@osamasayegh Well first of all, congratulations! Good job. Youāre from Pakistan, right? Me too, living in Malaysia now though. And regarding your financial aid status, I would say contact the Financial Aid Department as soon as possible. It clearly states youāll only be considered for financial aid if you submitted it by the deadline. Just call them up and explain your situation. Iām sure theyāll try their best to help you out. :)</p>
<p>Scaredā¦ and screwed!</p>
<p>@francaiselove, well actually no, Iām Egyptian. I must be the first Egyptian to ever get a CW invitation from NYUAD . </p>
<p>Regardless, Would love to see u there.</p>
<p>I just re read the page and it makes absolute sense. It clearly says that if you submitted before deadline (11/15/12), they will review it, even if the report date is later. Thanks God!!! Iām safe!!! I canāt stop tearing up of joy!!!</p>
<p>you guys have amazing test scores and diversely cultural background. i should not be upset by the fact that i wasnāt invited Good luck to you all and hope you a bright future, really!!</p>
<p>Oh, wow, youāre Egyptian? Thatās so cool! Sorry for the confusion though, haha. Canāt wait to meet all you guys.</p>
<p>Dude, Iām Egyptian too! Haha, well I live in the UAE, grew up in America, and originally Egyptian. :)</p>
<p>Good luck to fellow EDIers and Congrats to those who received their invitations already!!! :)</p>
<p>I got a candidate weekend! iām so so suprised!
Good luck to everyone that hasnāt heard :)</p>
<p>Hi I applied for the ED1 to NYUAD. Can somebody please tell me how you find out whether you are invited to the candidate weekend? </p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone :)</p>
<p>@Liza TB Wow! Congrats! Good luck to you. I am sure you will really excited. Well i am so screwed. I think i lost</p>
<p>Hey guys! Iāve been lurking around the threat for a while, but only decided to post now. Iām invited to the CW in Dec - so for those who received their invitations already, Iāll see you guys in Abu Dhabi soon!! I think NYUAD sent invitations for CW in different rounds last year, so if you havenāt received your invitation yet, keep holding on!</p>
<p>Iām kinda in a dilemma about the leadership essay that Iām supposed to write for the CW (Iām not nominated by my school, so no, I donāt have a research proposal). They basically ask me to pick an issue in my home community that I feel passionate about, explain the different perspectives on it, and propose a way of changing it. Iām involved with a lot of LGBT rights advocate activities both at home (Vietnam) and at my school in the US, and gay marriage/LGBT rights have become huge issues in Vietnam lately, so I really want to write about that. However, Iām also aware that homosexuality is against the law in the UAEā¦ so I donāt want to risk my chance by saying controversial things in my essay. What do you guys think?? Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
