NYU is one of those wild card schools that anyone could get in with 1200-1500 sat score aand 3.3-4.0 unweighted GPA. It is selective to a point that you don’t know whether you will get in or not.
Youngmiss123 that just made me lol
it’s all random tbh! best of luck to everyone!
Anyone else have their Standardized Testing marked as “Waived”? The date is March 25, 2019. Highly doubt they’d be waiving a non accepted student, 2 days before admission decisions. Let me knowwwwww.
Also to mention, it had been marked as received even up to a few weeks ago.
I had the “awaiting” for a long time so I emailed them and asked about it and then they immediately waived it. I kept reading into it as well but i dont think it means anything honestly
The timing is a little sus though being two days out…
@BrookstoneOrbit D’s has been “waived” for a long time. I wouldn’t read into it.
@SJ2727 What do you think the acceptance rate will be this year? (taking into account the fact that there are 84k applicants) Also, does NYU have a guaranteed transfer decision?
What do “D’s” mean? @NYDreammom
@BrookstoneOrbit It means daughter.
@SJ2727 So what you mean is that there’s no way I could get in?
“NYU is one of those wild card schools that anyone could get in with 1200-1500 sat score aand 3.3-4.0 unweighted GPA. It is selective to a point that you don’t know whether you will get in or not.”
Hmm, it’s not a “wild card”. The lower stats admits will be for other reasons (portfolio students where the portfolios are enough to offset, HEOP, etc. For the average student looking for normal academic admission, a 1200 SAT is not going to cut it. The 25th percentile SAT for NYU is 1350. You’re going to need something very special to make up for a number below that. The median admitted SAT score last year was 1440.

On the ED discussion again - they have both said that they will take a higher number of the class ED, and seen a surge in ED as well as overall numbers. For the CDS year @CaMom13 referenced, there were 7814 ED applicants out of a total 64k. And last year, the total number of admits fell from the data @CaMom13 referenced, to 15722, out of over 75k applicants. (I didn’t see ED data) for that year. This year there were 14k ED applicants out of over 84k total. I don’t know what the final ED number is obviously, but just on these numbers, the RD round is going to be tough again.

@St678557 what do you mean by guaranteed transfer - like the system that BU has? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one mentioned for NYU, but I can’t say for sure.
The admit rate was 19% last year according to the first link I posted in #433, it’s obviously going to fall a bit just due to the increased applications - they already indicated they’re aiming at the same class size. But that will depend on their yield calculations too so… idk
i read that this past ed round, they accepted everyone
@gherbss lol then there will be like a 1% admit rate for RD. But of course that’s nonsense, all you need to do is go into the 2 main ED threads here on CC and you’ll see. Plenty of rejections, a few deferrals, and a new waitlist option (they never waitiisted from ED before this year).
Here’s the ED1 thread, results start coming in from page 128 (…)

Is CAS hard to get in?
@asdddw2 As the most popular college of NYU, I’m sure CAS is extremely competitive. Not sure what the acceptance rate is for that particular college, but NYU overall had a 19% acceptance rate last year, so it is statistically difficult to get in.
@Youngmis123 While NYU does accept a portion of students with lower stats, it’s certainly not due to randomness. Those students are mostly from Tish (school of the arts) where portfolios are heavily considered, or they have very special circumstances or extracurriculars that caused these lower stats but show their strengths and passions that NYU admissions are impressed by. NYU is a very popular and highly competitive school; they don’t accept lower stat kids for no particular reason.
anybody else seeing a payment section in albert?
I can
