<p>Well… I’m not gonna post my stats because I don’t want to bring my morale down and face reality, haha.
NYU IS MY TOP CHOICE. MY Dream school.</p>
<p>I was just wondering… what is most looked at on the app ?
Will bad test scores outweigh the good 
I’m concerned.
Also, does NYU actually accept more people to early decision.</p>
<p>THANKS again for your help!</p>
<p>I applied for NYU steinhardt. Could I be placed in
LSP ?</p>
<p>NYU is one of the most stat-reliant school I know. Its definitely one of the most predictable.</p>
<p>2150 is pretty much the breaking-point. 2200+ is basically auto-acceptance. Anything below 2150 is below the 50th percentile. </p>
<p>NYU doesn’t publish stats for LSP, probably because LSP would bring all the statistics down, which they wouldn’t want to show. I’m guessing anything above a 2000 would be fine for LSP.</p>
<p>I remember reading in an “NYU Magazine” I received that more people are accepted ED than RD. I believe the stats were around 38% for ED and somewhere in the 20’s for RD</p>
<p>Not to weigh down your dreams, but read the 7th paragraph of this…
[NYU</a> Early Decision apps increase by 43 percent | NYU’s Daily Student Newspaper](<a href=“http://nyunews.com/news/2011/03/22/22admissions/]NYU”>http://nyunews.com/news/2011/03/22/22admissions/)</p>
<p>I applied EDII that year the article owas published and had a 2000 SAT(superscore)/31 ACT (EDII’s acceptance rate was 18%), and I still got a pretty good fin-aid package.</p>
<p>It is very possible to get in with lower scores (I know a few people who did not break 2000 SAT-wise and are NOT in LSP). I also work in the admissions office and stats WILL NOT kill you, though good stats can be the tipping point. There are so many people who apply with relatively the same stats, so good ones are just that–good. But you have to show these admissions counselors that surround me everyday that you are more than just good stats! </p>
<p>EDII looks like it will be pretty tough this year too. But if you do get into Steinhardt (it has a higher acceptance rate than a few other of the schools, too, so that’s in your favor), or if you get into LSP, it’s the money you should be worried about. If NYU does not like you stats, it will not offer you a great FA package (ie, it will be $60,000 in loans and work study). However if you have that kind of money lying around, I guess you have nothing to worry about. </p>
<p>Oh and to whomever stated that NYU does not release the acceptance stats of LSP, take a look at this link…
[NYU</a> releases admission rates for New York and Abu Dhabi campuses | NYU’s Daily Student Newspaper](<a href=“http://www.nyunews.com/news/2011/04/06/06admissions/]NYU”>http://www.nyunews.com/news/2011/04/06/06admissions/)</p>
<p>None of the individual schools’ acceptance rates or stats are available, to begin with, so sharing the stats of the LSP would be a breach in University policy. </p>
<p>I would never say that NYU is predictable with acceptances, unless you have really high stats, but even then, the approach is still holistic. A person have 2300 SAT’s and straight A’s may not get in if their recommedations and personal statements are sub-par. With 47,000+ applicants, the university does not have to worry about one-of-a-kind students. Everything must be positive with the holistic approach.
-Hope this helps. Reply back if I can help with anything.</p>
<p>Not sure where azndude is even getting his numbers from. This is from the latest common data set published by NYU (2009/2010). See this link: <a href=“Research with Human Subjects”>Research with Human Subjects; </p>
<p>Go to page 11 for SAT scores. I’ve copied them here showing the 25th%ile to 75th%ile ranges:</p>
<p>SAT I Critical Reading 610 710
C9 SAT Math 600 720
SAT Writing 620 710
SAT Essay 8 10
ACT Composite 27 31</p>
<p>Ok thanks . Well its good to know all this. I hope I still hve a chance.
What other factors will nyu take into account? Thank you</p>
<p>Is lsp or steinhardt easier to get into?
Can we appeal if we get rejected?
Also is public health a popular major?
Does early decision work in my favor at all?</p>
<p>It’s not that more people get accepted with ED, it’s more that less people apply for ED so the pecentage in fact is bigger because nyu can accept
More of them with a smaller pool of
Competition</p>
<p>lsp is amazing. best program ever. all classes below 25 students. opportunity to study abroad freshman/soph yr.</p>
<p>more people get accepted early.</p>
<p>if you get rejected from any school, the admins office sincerely believes that’s not where you truly belong, so move on and take a deeper look at some other schools</p>
<p>ed works in your favor 100%, esp. if nyu is your dream school</p>
<p>if you effectively conveyed in your apps that nyu is your true dream school and talked about unique characteristics of nyu, they will take notice!</p>
<p>I think they do! NYU is also my first choice school. I went to a Campus Tour and they said Early Action acceptance rate is around 39% whereas the regular acceptance rate is closer to 35%. So there is a greater acceptance rate, but only because there are less applicants in the Early Action pool. With that being said, the applicants in the Early Action pool are probably more qualified than the regular pool of applicants. My advice is you should apply early! – just go for it, you’ll be notified earlier, thus shortening the period of time you spend sleeplessly obsessing over whether or not you go in.</p>
