<p>Just admitted to Steinhardt applied psychology - they are still releasing decisions, so be patient.</p>
<p>Stern Applicant here. Still nothing, hopefully no news is good news =p</p>
<p>Hahaha I’m laughing so hard, rejected from stern but I’m going to Dyson.</p>
<p>@aawosanya Yes I’m definitely going to attend!!</p>
<p>I got rejected today too. Here’s my stats: </p>
<p>High school GPA: 4.1
ACT: 29
College GPA (U of Cincy): 3.91 (fall), 3.86 (spring)</p>
<p>This is really devastating to me. I put so much time and effort into this crap…those F U C K E R S can honestly die for all I care. F U C K NYU! They’re a bunch of Columbia wannabes anyway.</p>
<p>Might as well throw mine in here and say I got my rejection from Stern as well. Second time too, it sucks :/</p>
<p>25 out of 1,000?? How the hell do you decide between so many people? I’m starting to think that wheel of fortune scenario you guys were arguing about earlier today isn’t too far from the truth XD</p>
<p>Oh well, it was a good run. Sad thing is that I probably would’ve had a better chance getting into an Ivy-League school if I applied to them.</p>
<p>A lot of you are going to better schools, so it’s not a loss.</p>
<p>Rejected by stern</p>
<p>Guys don’t get down if you don’t get in. There are schools that have accepted you because they want you to study there so it is NYU’s loss in the end.</p>
<p>Edit: Is there anyone that got accepted today? To Stern?</p>
<p>rejected by Stern 
anyways I’m out…felt like some hunger games competition</p>
<p>@Toofast Dartmouth is in the running but I’m not sure I want to be in Hanover, NH to be honest. It was just a school that I thought everybody applied to, so I applied. The positives are that it is a great school and they offered me a full ride. But then again Stanford, Duke, and Cornell offered me full rides too and they’re great schools too. Financial aid and prestige are tied for #1 on my list of importance. Wharton accepted me and I had to come up with $15-20k/yr…not happening. NYU was a similar situation.</p>
<p>@EndPhase It’s NYU’s loss in the end? What are you flippin stupid? They get $70 x however many students apply. </p>
<p>I get a pithy rejection email… OH yea, we reallly got em didnt we!</p>
<p>With so many applicants I know how they get down to 25. Each admission counselor selects X number of their top candidates. They reject the rest. They summarize the applications of those X number of candidates and present them to the committee. The committee rejects X number of candidates. The remaining candidates are reviewed again, each by a different counselor than before, they summarize them and present them to the committee. It goes on like this until they get to 25. Why was I accepted and other people were not? Who the hell knows, not even worth speculating. A part of this process is luck, your application could be selected for review after a counselor was just reprimanded by the Dean of Admissions. Who knows…point is don’t take it personally. Everybody should apply for fee waivers if they apply to a college again. I applied to a ridiculous amount of colleges for transfer, I didn’t pay for any of the application fees which totaled like $1,500 (no joke). I just sent in a little letter requesting it and presto it was waived.</p>
<p>@oberholzer</p>
<p>NYU didn’t get a cent out of me. I got a fee waiver from them. The only money that came out of pocket was for sending test scores/transcripts which is money that NYU never sees.</p>
<p>Joining the club, rejected by stern a several hours ago. </p>
<p>I guess I will be staying at UCLA.</p>
<p>Got the email…rejected…eh, never wanted to compete at the NCAA D3 level anyways…Off to compete D1, ciao!</p>
<p>Edit: Note to future applicants reading this thread…Do not emphasize or talk too much about school spirit in your essay. I had a monumental amount of e.c’s dedicated to school spirit at my current university and I pretty much planned to bring that mindset to NYU, to no avail of course. Focus on your grades/gpa but even then that might not be enough…good luck</p>
<p>I’m smart, I’m so smart and I’m in school…these guys are out here making money all these ways, and I’m spending mine to be smart. You know why? Because when I die, buddy, you know what’s going to keep me warm? That’s right, those degrees.</p>
<p>Lol oberholzer, I was in tears ^^.</p>
<p>These colleges may complain about how they received X number of applications and how hard it was to make their decisions, but let’s be honest if they could get 50,000 applications, they would take them all with big grins on their faces. Why do these guys want more applications? Because 1. They are already going to accept a certain number per year so if they get more applications it just means more application fees. I would be surprised if they spend more than 10 mins per application. 2. More applications means it drastically reduces their transfer admission rate which makes them appear more prestigious and selective. Imagine what would happen if they had 30 applications for 25 spots. People would think the school is easy and not worth their time. That’s why people get confused when they see schools like the University of Washington and University of Michigan who have a huge student body and accept a lot more people meaning they have higher admission rates, but are still ranked high</p>
<p>Sorry for rejections!!! I can feel you guys.</p>
<p>Is any sternish get acceptance?</p>
