<p>ahhh i cant stand this im going to keep saying that cuz its true. i keep freaking out no matter what i hear. grrr well yeah i hope it just all gets released at 5pm on the 15th. just get it all over with. i will be so happy cuz i wont have to worry about it anymore. it will be done.</p>
<p>im going to be at work from 3 until 830. i have my email connected to my phone but i dont think ill be able to stop myself from opening it until later.
almost four days guys!</p>
<p>As the day of “reckoning” is fast approaching, I send you all my best wishes that as many of you as possible will get in to NYU. I await the good news with you and hope for the best for all of you with whom I have communicated or read about through these threads.</p>
<p>Please keep your chin up. Turn inward and smile to yourself, as you pat yourself for a job well done in having come so far in this arduous rite of passage into “adulthood.” Remember this is the first step and truly, there are many, many more steps ahead and many roads that can lead you to your desired final destination (success in whatever field you will ultimately choose).</p>
<p>Also, if the news is not optimal, please remember you are bigger and more important than how any one school defines you. Peace and Best Wishes!</p>
<p>that post truly brought a smile to my face and happy- (i know it’ll all end up the way it’s supposed to be)- tears to my eyes. Thanks! my best friend was rejected from vassar today and i cried for her. so i’m considering that my practice round for wednesday.</p>
<p>Hi all! I’m a sophomore at NYU, and just wanted to leave a few encouraging words as I remember (quite well) how stressful this time was for me two years ago. I was rejected as an ED candidate when I applied - and it sucked. There is no other phrase to describe it. It officially sucked. Like getting punched in the stomach, as cliche as that sounds. Keep in mind, I was a solid student! Almost all As, high test scores, plenty of extra-curriculars. But in the end, it’s a numbers game. There simply aren’t enough spaces in the freshman class for all of the qualified candidates. Unfortunately, it’s true what they say. The rejections do come last. Dead last. Tortuous, I know!</p>
<p>That said, I can tell you from experience that transferring into NYU after spending a year elsewhere is significantly easier than getting admitted as a freshman. I even got financial aid! Just study hard, and having applied previously only shows how committed you are to the school.</p>
<p>So, if some of you receive bad news within the next coming weeks, don’t lose hope! As much as it sucked to not be able to go to NYU when I wanted to, I appreciated the opportunity all the more after having to wait a year. To sum it all up: if you love NYU as much as I did, and are determined to get in one way or another, don’t give up if you don’t get in the first time around.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Try not to stress too much. Who am I kidding? I guess all I can say is… it ends? And the rest of senior year rocks.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>thanks a lot for your advice!
i will 100% transfer after my first year into nyu if i dont get in. NYU has been my dream since i was 7, i will do anything to get in 
all i can do now is sit and pray.
fingers crossed for all!</p>
<p>So if you don’t get an e-mail by the 17th-ish, then you’re probably not accepted, right?</p>
<p>Grigg-I’m saying the 17th is basically the cutoff. But, we don’t know anything bc this is the first year they are emailing. They could end up telling the majority (even rejected) on Wednesday, or maybe only a few ppl will find out Wednesday…we have no idea. All in all, I do think they will tell accepted people first, so I think if I don’t find out by the 17th…then I’m screwed…but getting an email on the 15th doesn’t necessarily mean accepted.</p>
<p>i hope they just send them all out on the 15th to spare us this pain</p>
<p>Guys, on your Albert thing, under the Accept/Decline Aid thing, what year does yours say? Mine says 2012.</p>
<p>same for me</p>
<p>yeah mine says 2012 too. i think that is just the year of aid like 2011-2012</p>
<p>I think we all just need to breathe, and not worry so much about what the financial aid thing says on albert haha. I don’t think it means anything, and I don’t feel like NYU is going to be giving any hints about who got in until we get our letters.</p>
<p>Yeah.
I know you guys are nervous and everything, but these little things don’t mean anything.
NYU is not going to give hints about admissions.
Just relax. I’m beginning to feel like I’m the only one that ISN’T freaking out. Freaking out about it isn’t going to change anything. It won’t get you accepted, and it won’t get you rejected. The decision has already been made.
Just relax, guys. Don’t worry so much.</p>
<p>Kelryry - I wish I had your attitude! I’m trying, but it’s not working for me whatsoever. The stress is making break out, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it contributed to my anxiety this morning… which ultimately led to me failing my license test. :(</p>
<p>I think it might be because I went through a period of being horribly sick and not knowing why. I had about five blood tests done over two years and got myself used to not worrying about the results.
But I’m sorry! In four days everything will be so much calmer. Just find things to distract yourself. And if you don’t get into NYU oh well. There’s other schools!
As my dad always says “God answers every prayer, but sometimes the answer is no.”</p>
<p>That’s a great quote and attitude! Thank you!</p>
<p>I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you’re okay now. I think I need something else to distract me for the next few days!</p>
<p>i’ve been going on nyulocal, it’s pretty interesting. </p>
<p>apparently there is an nyu secret society?</p>
<p>I say we start our own secret society when we get there…</p>
