Hi there, anyone here applied to nyu-poly? Any news yet?
@mechaas Congratulations! What major did you apply for? / Do you mind sharing your stats with us?
@baddiarydays Thank you very much! I’ve never done this before, but I’ll try…
College: CC in Hawaii (2 Years)
- GPA: 4.0
- Credits: 61 (12, 15, 16, 18 by semester)
- Major: Sociology
Subjective:
- CommonApp: OK. Why a gap year and CC, what improvements, where I want to go and what I want to do.
- Supplement: Good. Although I never visited, I drew on the indirect contact I’ve had with NYU thanks to conferences and how those experiences shaped my academic interests. Linked my travelling, conference, research and personal background all into what a global, diverse, unique and spirited person I am and how NYU was perfect for that.
- EC’s: Conference paper presenter and won best undergrad paper, debate team captain and won best speaker, virtual assistant, run an online webshop
- Volunteer: farmhand, mentor and consultant, income tax assistant, swim and surf assistant for the disabled (+cpr, lifeguard and first aid certified)
- Other: I did put that I spent my free time coding and making graphics, as well as family responsibilities
My supplement essay was one of my best - and my academics are strong, plus relevant EC’s - and I think that passion for NYU’s work (at least their conferences) and my own passion for the subject really came through. But FA is a major decision. Well, at least I know now that if I could’ve, I would’ve.
congrats to all got accepted today! I hope I can get in tomorrow
@etroedia I applied to Poly. No news yet.
Is today supposed to be the day when the bulk of the decisions will be released?
My housing status changed???
@baddiarydays omg!!! I am so happy for you!
and congrats to everyone else who has been accepted!!
My account still has 0 changes!!! great!!!
No changes here either! Don’t they want the small town country girl in NYC? ;
@princesskitten I’m shaking omg I still don’t have an fa change. They probably haven’t gotten to you yet, you’ll get a change soon too!
@Nursingskiing Just a small town girl…living in a lonely world…Took the midnight train to an acceptance letter…
Haha 
@baddiarydays. I hope so
Congrats BTW!!! What’s your major?
Hope they’d like a city boy who’s now currently in a quaint English village masquerading as a city. Adds cultural diversity to the student body Ya know
Hello.
I’ve been watching this thread for a while now, and it wouldn’t let me login to post. Always got an error. Finally it let me make another account so here I am.
I’m becoming incredibly worried now that there isn’t ANYONE this morning accepted.
When I first read the admissions transfer blog post I thought the dean meant that most wouldn’t hear back until late may, but then reading it again, I think he means most will by the 15th, and only a few left to late may, those being the ones they ask the grades from.
Sooooo this is pretty upsetting. I applied for CAS Econ.
Nothing… :((
@baddiarydays YAY! Congratulations!!!
@hannluhhv firstly, it’s not even past noon so we can’t really say. Secondly, what the dean meant was that most decisions would not be released before the 15th of May, which in no way implies that most will hear back today. Nowhere did it say that today would be the day when all decisions would be released. I too applied to CAS for economics but with math too. I wouldn’t be too worried if I were you - if it makes you feel better I applied with a 4.0 and from one of the top universities in the uk and I still have yet to hear back from them. Good luck to you all
@Nursingskiing English and American Lit + premed (I know premed is a track but it must’ve affected the review process somehow).
@hannluhhv NYU reviews transfers while finishing first years and summer program apps so I think he literally means most won’t hear back by the 15th.
You’re all going to get changes too!!
@thegent I just don’t think I’ve really seen any acceptances past 10. Mostly all were posted before or around this time.
@baddiarydays Ya I think it also could be that, guess I was partly just hopeful they would be out today.
This is just annoying because I don’t want to have to put down an enrollment deposit for another school.
my financial aid changed just this morning and I got accepted like 2 days ago so I wouldn’t go by any of these portal things
My fa changed but it shows 2014-2015, maybe because I reapplied?
@hannluhhv Check if the deposit is refundable/if there are some fees you can pay later.
