<p>@football462: What email address did you send the letter explaining the reason for low high school grades?</p>
<p>@tofumaster9: I definitely think it’s a sign that you got in!</p>
<p>@philgirl: I am absolutely jealous of you and your stats. GRRR!! lol.</p>

<p>Also, could someone chance me?</p>

<p>Anyone know the answer to my question?</p>
<p>football462: The application status button never went away, it’s still there now - it’s where you’ll see your admissions decision and where you can accept or decline your offer of admission. So, I have both the app status button and the transfer credit button. hope that answers your question!</p>
<p>
Collegeboard’s numbers:</p>
<p>Applied: 5,986
Admitted: 1,981
Admit Rate: 33%</p>
<p>However, that’s deceiving.
It’s been speculated Stern has around a 10% admit rate. </p>
<p>Stern doesn’t release transfer data but if you look at the link below I went through last year’s thread and took the stats of the people who were accepted.</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/11721479-post383.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/11721479-post383.html</a></p>
<p>I thought the 10-15% was an understatement. Isnt it more like some where between that an 33%?</p>
<p>CAS is the biggest school at nyu, therefore, one could assume that it has a lot of students trying to transfer out, right?</p>
<p>@philgirl so you’re saying only the “This application is incomplete” and the boxes of application materials are gone? Thanks for answering also.</p>
<p>@conncoll20</p>
<p>It’s 33% overall. If you look at Collegeboard’s numbers, you will only see how many applied, and how many were accepted. Of course this gives you the admit rate of 33%. However, the 33% is combined not each individual’s schools acceptance rate. </p>
<p>For example, Stern does not have a 33% admit rate. It has around a 10-12%, maybe even lower. CAS has a 10-15% admit rate. That statistic comes from NYU’s website. If you start adding up, so a 10% admit rate for Stern, a 15% admit rate for CAS you’ll start to reach the 33% overall admit rate.</p>
<p>
Potentially but not always the case.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the worst part of my application is my ECs. I don’t think being the captain of 10 intramural college sports is very good =S</p>
<p>What types of EC’s does NYU prefer?</p>
<p>All of my EC’s are as follows</p>
<ol>
<li>Math competitions (around 3 different ones all 4 years of high school) that I participated in from 7th to 12 grade, making part 2 (top 1000 in the state) 3 times.</li>
<li>JV Track and Field for 3 out of 4 years in high school</li>
<li>Worked as a research assistant at a local hospital in the Cardiovascular department for 4 years during the summers between years of high school.</li>
<li>4 years of science olympiad</li>
<li>I went to India for 2 or 3 summers and taught 4 year old kids arithmetic and reading.</li>
<li>Orchestra for 1 year, but due to scheduling I couldn’t take it anymore in high school.</li>
</ol>
<p>I also have some unique activities such as computer building, and “hacking” (jailbreak/unlock) the iphone with the iphone dev team during my free time.</p>
<p>“I went to India for 2 or 3 summers and taught 4 year old kids arithmetic and reading.”</p>
<p>Is it just me, or should you KNOW if you went there for 2 or 3 summers?</p>
<p>@coolio</p>
<p>Well if you include the summer before 9th grade then its 3 summers. Whether or not it is included “during” high school is idk. I put 3 summers on my application so I should have just said 3 summers.</p>
<p>Haha ok. And yay, I no longer have that “Your application is incomplete” sentence (yet everything else is still the same).</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, that sentence disappeared from my application status also. Probably means they’re starting to review our applications now.</p>
<p>@philgirl - this is from the other chat (NYU Transfer Decision) - Im confused to how you were labeled a “competitive candidate”? I mean, over 6000 apply to NYU as transfers and even more for regular admission… how did you find out you were so highly ranked above everyone else? This confuses me, considering that the rest of us have to wait so long and we all are deserving applicants as well. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.</p>
<p>From Mitch</p>
<p>For example, Stern does not have a 33% admit rate. It has around a 10-12%, maybe even lower. CAS has a 10-15% admit rate. That statistic comes from NYU’s website. If you start adding up, so a 10% admit rate for Stern, a 15% admit rate for CAS you’ll start to reach the 33% overall admit rate.</p>
<p>==============================================</p>
<p>Please dont tell me you go to NYU or hope to go there. You do not add, you average the admit rates. So if CAS and Stern both had admit % rates in the 12% range, and the overall admit % rate was 33%, then the other schools would have to come in well above 33%. Granted, it would be a wieghted average, but I suspect that CAS and Stern get a lot of tranfer applicaitons.</p>
<p>@kayf: Bahahahaha. I almost replied to Mitch’s post last night but it was 12:15, I was exhausted, and I wasn’t sure if it was just my overly tired, in-finals-mode mind playing tricks on me. But yes, the “overall” acceptance rate is the mean of the individual acceptance rates, not the sum. 
You can add up the actual numbers of students admitted and accepted, and then get an overall percentage from that, but the indiv. percentages themselves can’t be added together.</p>
<p>I stand corrected. I figured my method was flawed because if you did add them say Stern (10%) and CAS (12%) the rate would already be at 22% therefore leaving the other schools with lower acceptance rates.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake but no need to be a **** man. I forget you were perfect.</p>
<p>Mitch, I am sorry. Most of your posts come off as so intelligent and so informed, the one with the %s was almost not you.</p>
