<p>AlwaysAMom, I assumed it was like it has been in the past. They invited students they hoped to attact to attend NYU to this event which previously was always called Saturday in the Square. Calling it Admitted Students Day is confusing as it implies it is for all who are admitted which is actually how it is done at MOST schools…example, my older D went to admitted student open houses at her admitted schools and these were for all who were admitted, not a select group of admitted students. </p>
<p>NYU has maintained all along that not all those who are admitted will be invited to what used to be called Sat. in the Square (the event for Tisch, but similar events are held for the other NYU schools). </p>
<p>MTgrlsmom, I don’t think it was ever about the highest SAT and GPAs as that is not how students are admitted in the first place to NYU. It involves so much more than that. Anyway, if the Saturday in the Square event is like in years past, the invites are to those the school wants to help convince to attend (for any number of reasons, well beyond SAT and GPA stats). I’m not convinced that the group invited is so “small” however. It may not be everyone admitted, but it is not like a very small select group either.</p>
<p>I agree with you that there could be changes year to year and many of us are commenting on what the situation has been at least up until now. Whether it has changed, I don’t know. Like you say, the auditions changed in several ways this year.</p>
