********NYU ED Class of 2020 Discussion**********

Not sure if anyone else is confirming this for any of the RD or ED2 People, but I did get admitted into the NYU LS Program and I DID receive the FA change after applying for FA! :slight_smile:

This is a little late… Accepted to Tisch
FA change and Housing change to Fall in NYC 'Freshman"

D was admitted to LSP with a nice scholarship package, and they anticipate taking 24 credit hours. Any ideas how that will work with it being two years locked into LSP before moving on to declaring a major? Thanks!

@mdrd44 yes, but unfortunately due to changing circumstances I want to see if I can switch back to NYC and go to Florence sophomore year

@NYU3101 Same thing happened to me and it’s still not back up. Last night I panicked because I thought they’d revoked my acceptance after I payed the deposit.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WE FILL OUT HOUSING APPLICATION AFTER WE GET THE NYU EMAIL??

Hey guys, I’m Class of 2017 at NYU Stern. Congrats to everyone who got in yesterday! For those of you who did not, don’t worry there are a lot of other great undergraduate B-schools out there.

I started this thread (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1841887-nyu-stern-ama.html?new=1) to help out anyone looking at NYU Stern this year or even in the future. Obviously speaking just from my own opinion, not in any official capacity. Feel free to post questions there or PM me.

Is it better to place the housing deposit now or later?

low key wish i had applied Ed1 so i would know already

Chances for EDII 3.2gpa with an upward trend (3.1-3.6) and 1980 sat’s with really strong essays/ecs/recs?

Can I ask u what your stats were? Applying EDII

Megan may i ask what your stats are?

@sinahodge

Depends on the school. Stern - No. CAS - maybe.

@dehca2016 I’m applying to CAS, do you think I have a good chance or would my EDII be better used somewhere else like BU?

anyone who got LSP want to post their stats?

@runner625

3.67 weighted GPA, 32 ACT, which is probably on the lower end, but very in-depth ECs (youth advisor on congressional campaign, intern for 2016 presidential election campaign) and strong, focused essays (both related to politics). Also have a geo hook (Nebraska)

@vineyardvines thanks! anyone else who got it and took the SATs?

@sinahodge

Do not use your ED to improve your chances. You won’t be able to compare financial packages and it’s really not worth it to waste your ED on somewhere you are not 100% sure about. I would’ve applied ED1 but I had some different issues going that didn’t let me.

But otherwise, you’re still a little low for CAS, but you should be good.

Chance me?

@dehca2016 based on your ECs and class selection I’m guessing you applied to Stern. If I’m right then that’s a good sign! You have a strong business theme. I got into Stern with similar ECs, but your UW GPA and SAT are low for stern. Your course load is very strong though, I think you will get in.
