<p>by “few,” u mean under a thousand? or five hundred? two hundred?</p>
<p>It’s hard to say - I think in the hundreds though. My interviewer interviewed…I think around 80 (maybe more, maybe slightly less) students, and there were about 5-7 interviewers. So yeah.</p>
<p>@marinozai hi! Chanel interviewed me 
it was 30 mins She was nice and friendly and she said ‘great’ a lot not sure if that’s a good sign cos i heard someone had a great interview last year but was waitlisted 
Oh and I wanna go to Shanghai becos it’s my alternative choice? lol i didn’t have any particular reason but I’m actually very excited to go there :)</p>
<p>wow there are like more than 3 interviewers right? I guess it gets more competitive day every year</p>
<p>Yeah, it seems pretty competitive, especially since I don’t think they are going to take many kids from early decision.</p>
<p>Did you say in your interview that it was your alternative choice? Like what reasons did you give in the interview for wanting to go to Shanghai?</p>
<p>And did she shed any light on the admissions process? Some people’s interviewers did.</p>
<p>ed: Oh and who last year had a good interview and was waitlisted?</p>
<p>Why would they not want to take as many kids from early decision as regular decision? I believe you but that doesn’t make sense to me</p>
<p>I don’t know - I’m wondering the same thing.</p>
<p>Where did you hear that they’re taking less kids?</p>
<p>Last year they only took about 14 kids ED, and this year they aren’t going to change things up that much.</p>
<p>Do you know how many kids applied ED last year?</p>
<p>Nope - just how many kids were accepted.</p>
<p>marinozai. do u know if one of the ED accepted were chinese? i think my chance is twice lower than non-chinese ED ppl…</p>
<p>No, I don’t. All I know is which countries they were from - about 4 were from the United States.</p>
<p>I get you though - I’m Chinese and from the US. I’m only sort of Chinese…well kind of. I was adopted from China when I was younger, so I’ve been raised American.</p>
<p>Only 4 from America? That’s so few!</p>
<p>i wish they didnt look at our color and just take whomever is shiny. i know they want diversity and creativity. i can bring it to shanghai! btw do they take more girls than boys??..
and they take the rest of 135 students from the RD pool??</p>
<p>Last year, that is what happened. I don’t know for sure how they are doing it this year.</p>
<p>anyone know how many ppl in u.s. applied and were interviewed?</p>
<p>No, again, no one has any information.</p>
<p>nope she didn’t ask me about my choices… she interviewed me as if Shanghai was my first choice 
and she didn’t shed any light on admission process. It really was a casual conversation with topics revolving around my plans at NYUSH :)</p>
<p>Oh last year they admitted 16 ED students but i think it would have been pretty difficult to get 16 outta hundreds of applicants so maybe that’s because there was less people applying for ED?</p>
<p>Again, it’s hard to say how many people applied last year. What makes it harder is that you don’t know how many people listed Shanghai as their first choice/second choice, and how many of those people got in.</p>
