<p>karmic,</p>
<p>Who did you email regarding the reason for your referral to NYU-Poly instead of acceptance into NYU CAS? Was it your regional admissions counselor? I would call to follow up to talk to someone outright at the Admissions Office. They should at least explain this new process to you (just heard of people being funneled to NYU-Poly since the merger). This is if you have not heard from your regional admissions counselor.</p>
<p>ruby, I have not read of anyone appealing their admission decision from NYU, but that is not uncommon with NYU’s west coast comparable school, USC. I read of many students who appealed and quite a few got their decision overturned from rejection to acceptance or spring admission (comparable to NYU’s liberal studies program acceptance). However, I think if NYU means so much to you, you should set up a time in person (if possible) or by phone to talk to either your regional admissions counselor or someone else in the proper position of authority. At the very least, they can let you know what you can do to be a more attractive candidate as a transfer student (someone recommended this to you previously). You owe it to yourself to get some closure by talking to NYU admissions since this was something you worked very hard for in a single-minded fashion. You may have to be more persistent or even get your parents involved to get some time with NYU Admissions. </p>
<p>I felt sad reading your posts about your dejection after hearing from NYU. Please at least stand up for yourself and know that if you have addressed this decision with all options available to you, you would be putting out your best and that best part of you will carry you to success no matter where you eventually end up in school. I wish you the best and I did think what you presented here about yourself sounded strong. So you should do well wherever you go.</p>
