<p>Of the other schools you mentioned, NMR, my son applied only to CMU. We received little or no promotional stuff from them…and relatively little from any school except for NYU. Your kid may have been seen as a more potentially desirable candidate than mine by CMU! At any rate, he was accepted at Tisch but not CMU.</p>
<p>Another thing that was different about NYU was that they didn’t want the PROFILE, just the FAFSA, at least when my son was applying. I always wondered if that had something to do with the huge number of applications.</p>
