New York University (NY “Campus”) (2022-2023)

[lusty wharf]

and most of those didn't

[pliant aurora]

Many schools have political science - Policy, this is the same as public policy

You can find this at many UCs

[wispy otter]

Ik Harvard, penn, cornell, nyu, brown and ucla have it

[pliant aurora]

And I know northeastern does aswell

UCSD also does

And maybe Irvine, I can’t remember exactly

funny because I spent all that time in those UC apps but I got into NYU Ed 1

Waste of money and time ig

[wispy otter]

Hello??

CONGRATS

[whole tiger]

cornells program is new i think

i have a friend who did public policy and he told me about how its like very few seats 💀

[novel spoke]

Same

[wispy otter]

Brooks has problems rn lmao

[sturdy topaz]

is there any point

in applying to an alternate campus

[half panther]

Might get more Scholarships

[maiden meteor]

if you see yourself going to the alternate campus.

[pliant aurora]

for anyone else, does the portal say your fafsa is still pending even though it was processed a while ago?

[muted acorn]

broken platforms - UIUC SRAR was better

[muted acorn]

they said to wait 2 bussiness days after 3rd january to review your checklist

[maiden meteor]

If that still doesn’t work, just email them again. They just forgot to process it on their end sometimes.

Happened to me with UNC

[pliant aurora]

thanks!!

[half panther]

I got in

But ig not going

[tardy tundra]

why not

[half panther]

Cuz less scholarships

[tardy tundra]

i see

[half panther]

thanks

[dusky tundra]

was anyone able to active their nyu applicant acc?

[hidden parrot]

yeah I did

[maiden meteor]

Got mines activated last night

[dusky tundra]

it keeps showing this error message for me

i’ve waited a few hours already

i think i’ll contact them if it doesn’t work in a few days

[pliant aurora]

Thank you!

[hidden parrot]

what is the "School Report" on the application checklist?

please answer ASAP

[pliant aurora]

This is something that your counselor should fill out for you.

Only they can access it. This is where they upload your official transcript, provide the school report, write their counselor recommendation, and provide anything else the school requires like a midyear report.

[hidden parrot]

I'm international so I help them with this stuff

what's the school report itself?

[wispy otter]

@slender mortar did it as an intl kid

If you want help uploading it, he’s a good source

[hidden parrot]

if the school has no midyear report is there a way to leave it blank/waive it?

[hidden parrot]

oh ok ty

@slender mortar hey ik you were tagged already (sorry) but when you have time please @ or dm me I'd really appreciate it!!

[pliant aurora]

Well, several colleges don't need it. But if they do, then I'm sure you can ask to send unofficial grades to admissions.

[hidden parrot]

my school is able to do predicted grades

if that makes a difference

https://connect.nyu.edu/portal/undergraduate

[slender mortar]

its easy dm me and i'll tell

[maiden meteor]

Why does NYU need a SRAR when I already send them my official transcript?

They just want me to put in the extra work huh

[cursive thunder]

What is stern RD acceptance rate?

[cloud atlas]

i think around 7%

[cursive thunder]

Are you int?

[lament cape]

does NYU require official score report for SAT

[lament cape]

on portal?

[lament cape]

okay thank you

[naive hill]

guys why isn’t my activation for NETID working? did this problem happen to anyone else? my bday is right and so is my ID

[rancid vortex]

submitted

time to pray

[polar otter]

the later you submitted the later you can active it i think, there’s a message on their website that says it might take a bit for the ID to activate

mine took a while

[pliant aurora]

Usually you want to wait a day for it to activate.

[polar otter]

^^^

[shy badge]

^ I've had anywhere from 1 hour to 5 days for login stuff lol

[graceful bough]

If it says Jan 4 local time

Does that mean I have to submit it by the time hits Jan 4

Or by the time hiys jan5

[azure herald]

i just applied this morning loll, i really hope i get in!

[polar otter]

😭 11:59 jan 4

google people google

[manic plover]

Just submitted my app an hour ago lol

[azure herald]

good luck!

[graceful bough]

I see google but there’s never a time I get the deadline correct bc I suck with converting time change 😭

[azure herald]

nyu would be such an incredible like change in life for me, i live in a pretty homogenus area and the city sounds so cool, im really excited!

[polar otter]

the EST supremacy agenda is really hard on us

[graceful bough]

GMT during college admissions is driving me mad

Is anyone here applying Stern?

[azure herald]

i almost did

[hidden parrot]

nope, Tandon

[polar otter]

no fr 😭😭 i started going by EST over christmas break so i didn’t have to convert

[manic plover]

Same, I applied Tandon*

[polar otter]

changed my phone clock and everything

[azure herald]

i went with steinhardt

[graceful bough]

Hahahah smarttt i should have done that

[hidden parrot]

cya there maybe lmao

[manic plover]

Yeah lol

What Major did you apply for?

[hidden parrot]

tbh i was considering EDII to NYU

but eh commitment issues

[hidden parrot]

CS

u?

[stable palm]

huh commonapp says its due january 5th

[manic plover]

Ah I applied mechanical engineering

[stable palm]

is that wrong?

[hidden parrot]

interesting nice

hopefully we both get in

[manic plover]

Yeah it’s due Jan 5th at midnight I’m pretty sure

[stable palm]

ok phew

[manic plover]

Yess

[hidden parrot]

I just wanna go to college in NYC

well the NYU vibe is sick too so

[azure herald]

samee

did you apply to columbia?

[hidden parrot]

I applied to a dual degree program at columbia

JTS Columbia

[azure herald]

oo cool!

[pliant aurora]

Ouch, those are especially competitive right?

[hidden parrot]

uhhh idk tbh i think the acceptance rate is quite high tbh

like 58% even

[manic plover]

Woah, really?

[hidden parrot]

easier to get in compared to CC

lemme double check

59.7% apparently

[stable palm]

yea i applied to sciences po and columbia

[pliant aurora]

oh okay

[hidden parrot]

some other sites say 58%

[stable palm]

idr get the jewish thing

is it just a jewish school

[hidden parrot]

it’s a school with a bunch of majors relating to judaism

jewish philosophy, hebrew bible, etc

you pretty much get a degree relating to judaism and a degree of your choosing at columbia

[tardy tundra]

i am

[wispy otter]

Me three

[tardy tundra]

i have faith all of us can get in

although the 7% acceptance suggests otherwise 😭

[wispy otter]

Ughhhh don’t even

Nyu is a mega safety

[tardy tundra]

for stern?

[hidden parrot]

is tandon’s acceptance rate actually 35%?

[manic plover]

Is it actually?

[hidden parrot]

that’s what it says when i look it up

[tardy tundra]

thats what i've heard

although its getting more competitive

[manic plover]

It says 2015

[tardy tundra]

since its an engineering school

[hidden parrot]

dang

[manic plover]

Yeah I’m sure that acceptance rating has decreased over the years

[hidden parrot]

yeah I assumed so

[manic plover]

But I’m pretty sure nyu stern is harder to get into than tandon

Overall

[hidden parrot]

yeah for sure

like when people mention that they go to nyu/will go to nyu

they say that they’re going to stern specifically

similar to wharton and penn

[tardy tundra]

yea true

stern is in a world of its own

idk about tandon rlly and its prestige

[pliant aurora]

I doubt Tandon would be triple this number.

[tardy tundra]

but stern is highly prestigious in finance

[hidden parrot]

I’m not rly applying for prestige

[manic plover]

Tandon used to be a completely separate school from NYU, it was brought into NYU a while back

[hidden parrot]

like sure it’s a great school and all but I’m sure that I’ll learn just as well in a lot of schools I just like the nyu vibe

[manic plover]

Part of the reason why tandon is in a different area than the rest of nyu

[tardy tundra]

i see thats cool

[hidden parrot]

oh interesting

[cyan ivy]

What's the cas acceptance rate?

Is it lower than tandon?

[brazen niche]

me four

[cloud atlas]

does anyone know what gallatin's acceptance rate is?

[shy badge]

they're working together to troll you

[wispy otter]

Send a follow up email and cc both

[shy badge]

^

[manic plover]

💀

Damn that sucks

[maiden meteor]

Are your starting months and ending month in August/Sept or at least the same month?

[wispy otter]

Booooo

[shy badge]

oof

[stable palm]

me four!!

should i do the liberal arts core

idk what that is

does anyone know what that is

[shy badge]

did u at least tell them that the other side told you to contact them?

[zealous hazel]

Y’all think I can submit a 1360?

[wispy otter]

You can

But it’s below their average

[shy badge]

Imo, depends on the middle 50% of ur school and if u r hooked

[wispy otter]

Yeah

Overall average is like a 1500 for them

[shy badge]

If ur school is like mine and the 25th percentile is a 1470, I wouldn't submit

[zealous hazel]

Damn alright

[cyan ivy]

Is it a bad idea to not submit a 35 ACT? I asked on the reddit and prseghal said to submit the 3 ap scores (all 5s) instead

[hidden parrot]

I think the ACT is what you should submit

it’s a shame to let such a great score go to waste

[shy badge]

Hhmm, I think it might be important to considering if your school only offer like 5 APs, or are people taking upper 10s to 20 APs?

[hidden parrot]

many applicants will have 3 aps with a 5, very few will have a 35 ACT

[fathom thicket]

why would u not submit a 35

[shy badge]

^

[fathom thicket]

at the very least, its for sure in the 50%

😭

[hidden parrot]

but at the same time if you don’t wanna take our advice I’m not complaining it’s less competition

[fathom thicket]

theyd assume u got much lower if u dont submit

[shy badge]

a 35 is top 25% for sure i think

[cyan ivy]

I mean I'm still submitting my AP scores regardless. I was just confused if NYU would consider a 35 lower than 3 5s but it seems like they don't so I'll probably submit

[shy badge]

not very familiar with prseghal so idk how well their advice holds up

[fathom thicket]

three 5s

is not special

LOL

[wispy otter]

5’s are easy (sometimes)

Mad easy based on subject

V diff than 35

[fathom thicket]

yeah

and why not subm it both

[cyan ivy]

kk looks like I'll stick to submitting ACT. Ty guys

[fathom thicket]

even if they consider 5s better than 35

[polar otter]

honestly take all of preshgals advice with a grain of salt– he is a man well into his thirties still frequenting a2c. a 35 is a fantastic score and would really help your application imo

[shy badge]

^

i think I found ur post

[fathom thicket]

his advice is outdated ong 🖐️

[wispy otter]

Yeah wait

Why is he so active

[shy badge]

i can't speak for CSA and Lang, but AP Calc BC 5 is quite ez

[wispy otter]

Lang is easy too

[fathom thicket]

yeah the curve on calc is great

[wispy otter]

Csa probs not

[fathom thicket]

i believe foreign languages are also easy

and psych and apes

lol

[polar otter]

idk 💀 he’s always being so argumentative too like bro ur finically stable what happened

[fathom thicket]

hrd is like chem and physics

[wispy otter]

He’s rly funny tbh

[maiden meteor]

going to get a 3 in both ngl.

[shy badge]

lol yea, was messing around with score calc last year and noticed I could get away with not answering a question and still get a 5

[wispy otter]

Guys

Check our rejects channel

[shy badge]

rlly? i thought chem was actually not that bad, taking physics rn and getting killed tho

[wispy otter]

Now that is funny

[fathom thicket]

i didnt study for chem

cuz it ws on my bday

fucking rge quit

[shy badge]

oh, that's unfortunate

[cyan ivy]

the physics 1 test felt easier thaan chem but i somehow did worse

[maiden meteor]

still on unit 2. lowkey scared my teacher aint going to have us prepared

[fathom thicket]

physics c mech >

[maiden meteor]

can't even imagine how hard that class is

calc is stressful enough

[fathom thicket]

i hve good teacher praise the lord

[maiden meteor]

everyone say integrals is hard, im about to find out next week

[shy badge]

i have mid teacher

[shy badge]

for me, the integrals weren't that bad. might be biased b/c I'm looking to be a maths major tho

[fathom thicket]

math comes p easily to me and im in bc rn

idk

its mostly the teacheer that mkes it so much easier

he teaches exctly the way i learn

[shy badge]

that's kool, wish i could have a teacher like that lmao

my teacher does the exact opposite and I'm struggling hard rn lol

[willow zodiac]

would anyone be willing to let me read their submitted supp? i’m a little unsure of how to approach it but there’s very little examples online since it’s new

[polar otter]

you can read mine! I get good vibes from you

I'm not sure how super helpful it will be i had a lot of trouble with it as well

[willow zodiac]

thank you sm :))

[polar otter]

I'll send it you rn!

[lapis dagger]

so i submitted but forgot to put in my optional diversity essay.. lmfao

[lusty wharf]

[maiden meteor]

New York University (NY Campus)

This thread will be used to discuss NYU, regardless of the application types (Early/RD). Feel free to ask your questions or discuss results or anything else about NYU here.

[jaunty portal]

Based

[naive hill]

i applied CAS!

[cyan ivy]

Is tandon easier to get into than cas?

[novel spoke]

yes

[cyan ivy]

aight ima apply tandon then 💀

[novel spoke]

i dont like the campus but i am sure the school is fine

[cyan ivy]

Just submitted NYU

Done with college apps 🙂

[manic plover]

Congrats!

[cyan ivy]

Ty! Looks like you're close too

[shy badge]

Congrats!

[severe frigate]

finally submitted 😮‍💨

[cyan ivy]

Thanks!

[spare grove]

Yeah, a lot of people don't enjoy tandon as much because the campus is in Downtown Brooklyn rather than the Manhattan campus. Am warning you though if you plan to transfer into CAS it might be difficult as transfer rates are pretty low.

[cyan ivy]

I see. Not planning to transfer but thank you for the insight.

[spare grove]

I never know cause some ppl apply there just to transfer lolol

[vernal sparrow]

anyone here who applied RD?

what are stern's RD statistics like?

applied for BTE but don't have much hope lol

[rancid vortex]

nyu schools are scared and don’t post their acceptance rate by school. But considering it said in the 2026 profile that the acceptance rate last year overall for stern was 7% 💀💀 not high that’s for sure

[shy badge]

me!

[vernal sparrow]

💀

now adjust that for international indian male + RD

• BTE

💀

[vernal sparrow]

ayy nice

what’d you apply for?

[shy badge]

college of arts and sciences

[pliant aurora]

Same

Stats / math / CS or something

[whole tiger]

same!

well, i havent applied but planning on applying cas

[pliant aurora]

Finna copy paste in my other essays and apply rn we ball

[shy badge]

maths

👍

[whole tiger]

math + cs and also put interested in data science, applied math at tandon

[willow zodiac]

can you show me which essay you end up submitting please 😭 i’m struggling rn

[pliant aurora]

yes

Oh shit

[lapis dagger]

i quite literally submitted my NYU app without putting in my diversity application

[pliant aurora]

Do I have to adjust my community contribution essay and admit-me-because-I'm-Black essays for NYU

[lapis dagger]

which is tragic because i had one that fit it perfectly

[vernal sparrow]

ah nice

[sturdy topaz]

can i change my

decision plan from rd to ed2

[vernal sparrow]

yes

onthe NYU portal u shud be able to

[sturdy topaz]

okays

[warped mortar]

I have no clue how to do the diversity essay

Thingie

Like 0

😭i dont even got no sob story cuz nyc IS diverse

😞

[vernal sparrow]

I just capped my way through 😭

Well not exactly cap

But confusing ass sentences

[willow zodiac]

me neither lmfao

i’m unironically this close to writing it about this server

[jaunty portal]

Fuck it we ball

[novel mountain]

it was pretty difficult all things considered

I wrote about my international experiences and where ive been or whatever and how i can contribute to the nyu campus

i had absolutely zero idea what to write and cram into less than 300 words

or however long it was

[fathom thicket]

I wrote abt synchronized swimming

[cunning estuary]

Dayum

[cunning estuary]

Lmao same

[cunning estuary]

Exactly bruh but I got some experience on racism so yea

[novel mountain]

yea, u me n every other poc

[brittle whale]

Would a trait of unconventionality developed through a research experience match the diversity prompt for NYU?

[brittle whale]

uff that hurts man

[cunning estuary]

Yep

[hardy plume]

hi guys

I have a question 😭

[fathom thicket]

hi

[zinc meadow]

heehee

[hardy plume]

Moreover, remember that all 3 campuses are different, specially on the financial aid. If you have all sources and means for NYU New York or Shanghai please feel free to apply to all campus, if not, just a reminder that you can only select one campus.

My regional counselor sent me this, does this mean I can only apply to one campus if I need financial aid?

[warped mortar]

I got unresolved identity issues

[fathom thicket]

seems like what they're saying
idk how true it is though

[warped mortar]

☝️

[warped mortar]

No i had a friend’s friend get into nyu shanghai and im p sure she needed fin aid

😭but didnt end up going bc of passport issues or what not

[hardy plume]

NOO 😭 , thank you so much

[zinc meadow]

people forget that diversity isn't just race/culture dependent

i did mine on my culture but you can do diversity in terms of what you've learned and stuff

All students applying for first-year admission from a high school anywhere in the world, or those who were home-schooled and followed a traditional U.S. educational curriculum, will be required to provide the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR). The SRAR is free and should take roughly an hour to complete if you have a copy of your high school transcript available.

Do I gotta do this

[zealous hazel]

Does nyu not allow me to send letter of recs through naviance?

[hardy plume]

Are you guys only applying to one campus or more?

[wispy otter]

Gl

It takes forever

[zinc meadow]

I did it before but we'll see

For example, students from the UK system need only include grades in SRAR for 10th grade (GCSE/IGCSE/O-Levels) and A-Level predictions in 12th grade.

could do that but i have internals

[warped mortar]

Should i jst talk abt an ec?

[zinc meadow]

emailed uroch

[zinc meadow]

that's what i did ye

[cunning estuary]

Me too

[zinc meadow]

same!!

that's what my PS is about lmao

[cunning estuary]

Oh no

[cunning estuary]

Oh nice

[zinc meadow]

Ideally ur ec is related to diversity in some way

[cunning estuary]

I was gonna do that at the beginning but chose not to

I felt it would’ve sounded too much like a sob story

[zinc meadow]

well, it's who I am so i was like k just gonna talk about this

[cunning estuary]

That’s a good idea

[zinc meadow]

Nothing else has posed so much of a challenge as that

[zinc meadow]

Lol

i emailed roch about a deadline extension

[cunning estuary]

I could’ve done that or talked about the challenges I experienced with immigration

[zinc meadow]

too sick to write more essays today 😭

[cunning estuary]

And bullying

[zinc meadow]

immigration is always nice to hear about

I think

Yeah if you spin it right

[cunning estuary]

Lmao I hope

I was gonna talk about how the bullying made me regain my sense of self and all but I didn’t bother

[zinc meadow]

Mm

[cunning estuary]

I was gonna rewrite some parts but I was too lazy

[zinc meadow]

Where do I put in srar

o

[jaunty portal]

on the app portal

[warped mortar]

what they say

[warped mortar]

did anyone get into nyu ED and not do the optional essay?

[maiden meteor]

i would be surprised if someone did.

[warped mortar]

why?

[maiden meteor]

bc the essay is really not "optional" but they tell u it is. u would have to be so exceptional for them to not expect it from u

[zealous hazel]

What did y’all write about for the diversity supplement

[maiden meteor]

after all its 250 words, can't be that much

[maiden meteor]

tutoring

[warped mortar]

so u could write about anything?

[zealous hazel]

I simply don’t know what to write

what about tutoring?

[maiden meteor]

if that gets the job then yes

[maiden meteor]

how i taught student with different backgrounds, adhd, stuff like that

[warped mortar]

ooo

[maiden meteor]

then reflect on how nyu can help me continue do that and i help nyu as well

[zealous hazel]

Writing about being a minority seems very cliche especially in this prompt no?

[warped mortar]

i thought thats what they wanted us ot do

lmfaooo

😭

[maiden meteor]

but most people still do it and some get in

[zealous hazel]

Man I have no idea lol

[warped mortar]

im wondering if i could reuse my johns hopkins essay

[maiden meteor]

depends on how u write and if nyu likes it on the day they review your application

[zealous hazel]

would exploring new foods be a good topic lmao

[maiden meteor]

u might have to switch up a bit

[maiden meteor]

honestly have no idea. make sure its more about you rather than the interest itself

[warped mortar]

idk if that would show if im diverse tho

😭

[maiden meteor]

i think its does show diversity

u would have to to include NYU into it

is today the last day?

[zealous hazel]

Yes lol

[warped mortar]

yea

[maiden meteor]

thought it was yesterday guess that was cmu

[warped mortar]

how tho 😭

at hopkins i used their exploration motto

idk what nyu wants even

[maiden meteor]

no idea either. it took me 3 days to come up 250 words

[zealous hazel]

trying new foods makes me appreciate the culture it comes with??

[warped mortar]

i got like an hour

lmfaoo

[zealous hazel]

I got this and the 3 brown supplements 💀

[maiden meteor]

u got this

[warped mortar]

i got 18 but like

idk

all these colleges are extending their deadlines n shi

😭

im p sure every college has a grace period

[zealous hazel]

I’m going to kill myself

[maiden meteor]

fordham from the 3rd ro 15th lmao

[maiden meteor]

for materials yes for application some can be more serious

[warped mortar]

man the college essay guy's essay for nyu makes no sense to me

[brittle whale]

exactly TT_TT

[maiden meteor]

bro used a example from another school

[brittle whale]

I want a diversity essay example

[warped mortar]

my friend who got into nyu last yr didnt have to do this stupid essay

[maiden meteor]

why couldn;t nyu just stick with why nyu?

[warped mortar]

EXACTLY

[brittle whale]

that would have been so much easier

[maiden meteor]

that would've been light work

since we did that for like other schools and get the hang of it

[warped mortar]

fuck it im using johns hopkins 🤓

[cunning estuary]

3 days??

Jesus man

[cunning estuary]

Exactly

[brittle whale]

someone give me links to diversity essays lol

[cunning estuary]

Use collegeessayguy

There’s a lot of those on his website

[brittle whale]

I did

nothing very specific for NYU

they want how 'diversity will shape your experience at NYU' T_T

can't they do just either of the two

[warped mortar]

^^ me too

im desperate

[warped mortar]

https://writingcenter.prompt.com/posts/writing-the-why-nyu-essay

i didnt read this yet

but theres an example here

[brittle whale]

Thank you!

[warped mortar]

they didnt mention NYU once tho

😭

[brittle whale]

I'm tired

[maiden meteor]

4 hrs in reality

[cunning estuary]

Oh

[warped mortar]

whatchu end up writing about

[maiden meteor]

tutoring

[lapis dagger]

just do a me and submit without a supplement

lol

[mossy pecan]

Did yall put the extra space between each paragraph for the optional essay?

cuz it doesn't show on pdf file so I can't check if CommonApp put spaces or not

[maiden meteor]

Yep 😭

Not supposed to tho

[whole tiger]

i just like

didnt put spaces

for any of my supps

and im just gonna hope aos know how to read line breaks (they probably do)

[maiden meteor]

U did the right thing then

Bc the common app automatically does the line break

So mines is doubled 😭

[whole tiger]

well, for writing supplements, it doesnt

but its whatever; again, i hope they know how to read line breaks

[maiden meteor]

Really? It did for me

[lament cape]

yes it does

[whole tiger]

cmu supp, line breaks dont show up like they do in the personal

[round acorn]

oh we mean like the spaces between the para

[hybrid raven]

lol should i do the MLK supp

i have like 4 hrs left LOL

i’m attempting it

[whole tiger]

i just copy pasted 💀

[hybrid raven]

wym😭😭

[whole tiger]

i think i used my princeton service supp

and reused it

[hybrid raven]

LOLL

[warped mortar]

can someone read my nyu app rq and see if it makes sense to submit

[somber pagoda]

Guys

Why do you like nyu and would it be good for cs?

I’ve done my application but idk if I want to apply

[rugged pulsar]

i left nyu till the last minute and now im stuck on the supp

any advice

[maiden meteor]

Food, have family and friends there, I like walking. And while nyu isn’t the best but it’s good for cs

Maybe walking is a terrible reason but just lots of transportation which helps for not living on their invisible campus

[shy badge]

cracked at applied maths, they got some cool courses that I like, and nyc is cool (sometimes)

[rugged pulsar]

whats a way to say "as someone who"

[rugged pulsar]

bruh ive been sick for the past 3 days but worked thru it to get all these apps done

my body is slowly turning off i shouldve emailed them honestly

[zinc meadow]

I think not sleeping for 36 hours is what did it for me

[rugged pulsar]

ive been getting like 3-4 hours of sleep for the past couple of days

literally slept during AP Lang and my teacher was right in front of me woke up to straight eye contact

[zinc meadow]

Jeezus

I don't have school rn but that's a blessing and a curse

[rugged pulsar]

yup im literally binge watching netflix tmr and sleeping in

bruh i still have calculus hw to do after this 😭

[polar otter]

nah i didn’t feel like it was really aimed towards me

id rather just save the admission office time 💀 so they can read actual meaningful applications

[vernal sparrow]

i did yeah

it was just 1 essay and an easily reused one

the one about making a change in your community right?

[zinc meadow]

yup

[polar otter]

yeeepp

[zinc meadow]

what was ur change in the community

[rugged pulsar]

yeah lowkey just threw 2 EC essays together and tryna make it work

[vernal sparrow]

yeah i made that for a lotta other colleges so just shortened it to 200 for nyu

[zinc meadow]

mine was providing opportunities for people to develop their english skills

[pliant aurora]

thank god i could reuse one of my uc piqs for the nyu change prompt

[zinc meadow]

through writing/researching news

[vernal sparrow]

basically wrote about a non profit that i launched related to my ancestry to help small businesses in my community go digital during the pandemic

[zinc meadow]

ooo that's a cool one

i have something related to my ancestry on my ec list but it wasn't change your community as much as the news one

anyhow lesgo NYU!!!

[vernal sparrow]

yeees

what'd you apply for

i just reused essays from other colleges cuz i aint got any hope for nyu

[rancid vortex]

yeah it was like perfect for me

[zinc meadow]

lemme pull

[jaunty portal]

I didn't

Too much work during my college years I'd think

[zinc meadow]

what even is this smh

[jaunty portal]

I'd rather focus on other clubs or things that interest me than the MLK thing

[vernal sparrow]

what all does MLK entail anwyay

[zinc meadow]

it's like free mone tho

[vernal sparrow]

from what i read on the website

[jaunty portal]

Activism and shi

[vernal sparrow]

it's basically attending these programs and stuff

about activism

or conferences or wtv

[zinc meadow]

@vernal sparrow

[jaunty portal]

We'll have to see, I'm hoping nyu just gives me great aid

[vernal sparrow]

bruh same even i applied BTE lmao

[jaunty portal]

0 efc students historically have gotten free rides

[vernal sparrow]

but wtf u can choose 3 additional choices???

[zinc meadow]

what were ur areas of study

[jaunty portal]

Meirl

[vernal sparrow]

i chose only 1 bruh

[zinc meadow]

It's so OP tho

[vernal sparrow]

yeah fr

it's like NYU's M&T lol

[jaunty portal]

Bte, cs and film I think

[zinc meadow]

i think nyu does admit by major so i did primary as Undecided

[warped mortar]

can someone look at my nyu essay rq

😭

[jaunty portal]

BTE is the sexiest thing fr

[jaunty portal]

Sure shopt

[zinc meadow]

send

[jaunty portal]

Shoot

[warped mortar]

tyty

[jaunty portal]

I fell in love with the bte program omg

It's perfect for me

[zinc meadow]

It ain't M&T, but I have a higher chance of getting into it so yeah 😭

[vernal sparrow]

damn

this is all i put

[vernal sparrow]

lol ikr same

[zinc meadow]

i FR did not research NYU until yesterday

[vernal sparrow]

did y'all apply RD?

[zinc meadow]

ooo interesting it gives u options

i have to send sat

Wait

[vernal sparrow]

yess

[zinc meadow]

i was gonna ED2 but like cornell/yale are so OP

[vernal sparrow]

i self reported

[zinc meadow]

my portal ain't up yet

[vernal sparrow]

yeh same

but there's a dude in my grade ED2ing already

he's a fking billionaire 💀

a literal

billionaire

[warped mortar]

guys i dmed to u!

[vernal sparrow]

no cap

[zinc meadow]

cap

[zinc meadow]

fr?

damn

[vernal sparrow]

no cap bruh

major indian family

v famous

[zinc meadow]

fits the NYU stereotype at least 🤣

[vernal sparrow]

fr fr

[zinc meadow]

Oh u fr wanted to go to other campuses

[tardy tundra]

bruh what

what school do you go to

[zinc meadow]

i'm primarily doing NYU cause it's in NYC and i just wanna go home lmao

[vernal sparrow]

this doxxes u bro

in case u didnt realise

[zinc meadow]

aanand

@jaunty portal delete it lol ur showing ur full name

[vernal sparrow]

a kinda famous sch in mumbai, india

won't give the name but yeah

[zinc meadow]

IB?

[tardy tundra]

ah damn i see

[vernal sparrow]

it has IB but i don't take IB

[warped mortar]

whats the easiest nyu school to get into

[tardy tundra]

thats crazy

[zinc meadow]

bruh ain't that an L move

[vernal sparrow]

nah bro

[zinc meadow]

fr leaving the course rigor behind

[vernal sparrow]

i prefer my curriculum more

[zinc meadow]

tbh idek LOL

[vernal sparrow]

and i can supplement it with APs

so it makes it basically the same rigour wise

[tardy tundra]

^^i've heard in some countries it considered worse than some top school curriculums

[vernal sparrow]

the indian curriculum itself is quite rigorous as well

[tardy tundra]

idk if that applies to india

[rancid vortex]

they all tough as hell that’s all I know

[tardy tundra]

but i mean i take IB in the US and thats what I've heard

[vernal sparrow]

IB ain't worse imo but just a different type of learning

a lot of ppl prefer the national curriculums instead

[tardy tundra]

yea true

idk personally

[vernal sparrow]

but colleges don't have a preference as such

[tardy tundra]

these are second hand accounts

[vernal sparrow]

cuz anyway you can do APs alongside the national curriculum

makes for the perfect course rigor

[jaunty portal]

OH FUUUCK

I didn't see

Welp

Fuck it we ball

[tardy tundra]

huh

[zinc meadow]

some

[tardy tundra]

yea

i think china has it like that

i'm sure some others do as well

but def still a top tier curriculum

just different from how things are traditionally taught

[vernal sparrow]

yeh true

[tardy tundra]

like there are no MCs

which is a huge thing growing up in the US

and there's like a certain way you have to justify everything

[zinc meadow]

MCs?

[zinc meadow]

fair

bruh idk why but I had a dream about taking AP Calc BC at the national part of my school

[tardy tundra]

multiple choice

[zinc meadow]

somehow it was like yeah we don't offer cambridge but you can take APs

[willow zodiac]

bro this diversity prompt is beating me up rn

[vernal sparrow]

bruh i capped thru the diversity prompt hardd lmfao

[zinc meadow]

Not the MLK one right

it's not that bad

[willow zodiac]

no

the diversity one

i can’t figure out how to answer the question bruh

[zinc meadow]

i capped a little bit but i could defo prove my capping

[vernal sparrow]

the diversity one is open to all

[vernal sparrow]

oh lmao i don't mean actual capping

just fluffing things up 😭

[zinc meadow]

Yeah that's what I did

but provable

[vernal sparrow]

yeh same lol

what i did actually

was probably not recommended

but still did it

[willow zodiac]

what did y’all write about 😭

[vernal sparrow]

i gave a detailed description of a very specific story that shows my cultural diversity
and used the last para to link it to NYU

i think this essay should have more of a montage format than a story one

[zinc meadow]

from our essay writing savior CEG the goat:
The first thing that comes to mind when many people see the word “diversity” is race, caste, or economic backgrounds and influences, but diversity is actually a much more expansive word, especially in the minds of college officials.

[vernal sparrow]

i did the story cuz i could easily reuse lmao

[zinc meadow]

so yeah

[willow zodiac]

well… yeah

[zinc meadow]

one of my ECs

founding a community highly specific to my race

[jaunty portal]

Still???

[willow zodiac]

yes 😭

[jaunty portal]

My god bro

Just write about the server

And how you helped dudes apply to college

Unique banger essay

The undoxxed version

[vernal sparrow]

lol i just chose NYC

and said no to liberal studies 😭

[rugged pulsar]

any downside to saying yes?

like do they look at ur application differently?

cause ik with liberal studies u end up going into a normal major after 2 years or smt

[manic plover]

If you get denied to your selected majors wouldn’t you be considered for placement there

[zinc meadow]

that's the thing

[manic plover]

Per selecting yes

[zinc meadow]

why wouldn't you say yes

[vernal sparrow]

no no

[vernal sparrow]

i didnt see a point in doing the liberal studies thing

[rugged pulsar]

i mean shit if i get to go to italy for a year im not saying no

[manic plover]

I didn’t say yes because it’s personally not worthwhile for me, an engineering major 💀, to be holding back my whole degree by spending two years in their core program

[zinc meadow]

i mean i find it rather interesting + nyu acceptance is nyu acceptance for me

[rugged pulsar]

u not rlly holding back tho i heard u can find a way to transfer into the normal major after ur first year

so either way ur gonna needa do most of those classes

as core curriculum

[manic plover]

I doubt that’s the same case for something like engineering

[vernal sparrow]

fair enough

[manic plover]

ABET certification means that engineering classes have to be done every year with one or two electives to realistically graduate in four years

[zinc meadow]

stern pls accept me tqvm

[manic plover]

Then again I didn’t look into the liberal core program very closely at all so I could be wrong

[vernal sparrow]

😭 same

[zinc meadow]

I think I have an okay chance if the major is BTE

[vernal sparrow]

i mean honestly i will personally go to nyu only for stern or cas

[zinc meadow]

but we'll see what happens

[vernal sparrow]

BTE's the toughest bro

[zinc meadow]

no cause my #1 ec is literally based on BTE

[vernal sparrow]

ahh okay

same lmfao

my top 3 ECs are exactly

[zinc meadow]

a business focused around technology entirely run through my own entrepreneurship lmaoo

[vernal sparrow]

BTE

legit

[vernal sparrow]

SAME

lmfao

😭

[zinc meadow]

Lmaoo

how many figures did u make/have you made

cause arguably that's the most telling thing right

[woven phoenix]

submitted my app 😍

[manic plover]

Yay, congrats!

[woven phoenix]

ty ty

[vernal sparrow]

in indian rupees it's six figs, might seem a bit less, but for the product i'm selling it's high volume

[zinc meadow]

ooo alright

mine was low 5 figures USD

[vernal sparrow]

that's solid bruh

[zinc meadow]

crypto mining tho

[vernal sparrow]

aaah

crypto

chad

[zinc meadow]

so we'll see what happens

[vernal sparrow]

yeah that perfectly combines BTE lmao

[zinc meadow]

No cause i genuinely saw this gap in the market due to people getting scammed everywhere lmao

so i was like oh i'll just be proper and legit

[vernal sparrow]

are you doing well right now tho 🥶

[zinc meadow]

Post Merge? No

business totally stopped

[vernal sparrow]

oof

[zinc meadow]

It was fun though

[vernal sparrow]

is alright tho u anyway made 5 figs

[zinc meadow]

you know what's crazy

as part of my op

i had to search for Polish magazines through a German proxy just so that I could save dozens of euro on platform fees 🤣

[vernal sparrow]

damn wtf

sounds insane

[zinc meadow]

it was so crazy

[rugged pulsar]

did anybody else put this?

[zinc meadow]

i did

Why pay if you don't have to

[rugged pulsar]

true

thats what i did

especially after paying $90 to stanford

[zinc meadow]

i was originally gonna apply to stanny

but i don't like cali

[rugged pulsar]

i dont like cali in general as a state to live in but the stanny campus is insane tho

[zinc meadow]

mm idk i just wanna go home tbh

[rugged pulsar]

ur home is considered ny?

[polar otter]

cali is somehow both incredibly progressive and completely morally bankrupt it’s really beautiful as a concept but more realistically it’s a hell scape

7/10

blah blah death to the silicone valley

[spark sun]

wait sorry if this is a dumb question but

theres an essay if u do the mlk scholars, and an optional diversity one right

(i applied to CAS, maybe it varies based on school?)

[rugged pulsar]

yeah so 2 in total

MLK scholars community change'

and the nyu community

[spark sun]

thank uuu sm i was scared

[rugged pulsar]

nah u good u made me scared tho ur wording made me think u were talking about 3 essays lmao

[vernal sparrow]

yeh just 2 essays

[spark sun]

so for the nyu diversity/community one did u talk about what u would do at nyu?

bc i reused another one so i'd have to cut down words to fit something and im lazy

[vernal sparrow]

Same

Lmao

[vernal sparrow]

ye

My last para was what I’d do at NYU

[spark sun]

uuuuuuugh

thanks for ur help though!

[zinc meadow]

NYC >

[cursive thunder]

@vernal sparrow @jaunty portal EDII?

[polar otter]

frr fr

[shy badge]

yes

i believe it asks for how u would contribute to the nyu community so that part is rather important

[jaunty portal]

yep

[jaunty portal]

i wrote ab why i would be a perfect fit at nyu

on hindsight i should have name-dropped sth nyu exclusive but it is what it is

[hoary niche]

i wish i could look at my diversity essay again but at the end i dropped something about nyu i just dont think it was hard enough

[vernal sparrow]

Nah RD

That’s y I ain’t got much hope

[cursive thunder]

Did u guys EDII anywhere else?

[rugged pulsar]

nah went rd

[cursive thunder]

Stern?

[spark sun]

do u need to do official sat score send?

[rugged pulsar]

CAS

[lapis dagger]

they take unofficial

"We are happy to use unofficial transcripts and test scores in the application review process. You can upload these documents to your applicant portal once you have activated your ID numbers. To log in, please use your NetID and University ID. "

[spark sun]

thank u!

i thought send testing meant score report at first

[faint brook]

not for me but my gf, she's applying to nyu for music and just submitted her common app and got this, theyre not sending her a link for a portfolio so what happens in that case? does she miss the deadline at midnight PT or is there a grace period for such things?

[naive hill]

There is no why nyu supplement though?

[spark sun]

correct!

[brittle whale]

does NYU have maker or research portfolio?

[weak ivy]

did they send out portals yet? i sent my app on jan 2 and havent received a portal yet but they got my CSS and FAFSA
in the email the gave my net id but i still dont have anyway to activate it yet?

[jaunty portal]

Not that i know of

[jaunty portal]

I got my portal

[jaunty portal]

You can activate it with your netid doe

[weak ivy]

how

[weak ivy]

got this when trying to reset the password to see if i could get in that way

[jaunty portal]

I got my netid and university id on the same email

You didn't recieve this?

[weak ivy]

i didnt get that email just an email with css recieved confirmation and my net id just refrenced

[jaunty portal]

Well check your spam maybe

[weak ivy]

i did

[jaunty portal]

I guess wait for more time then 🫡

[weak ivy]

[jaunty portal]

27th dec

I got the email on 28th

[weak ivy]

seems i found out why. submitted jan 2nd

[somber pagoda]

Is college of arts and sciences or college of engineering better for cs?

[brittle whale]

COE >>>>

coe had a booth during isef the other didnt

core cs is tandon

[weak ivy]

anyone apply for the 5 year program with cs+engineering?

[sturdy topaz]

when approx do candidate weekend

i'm ed2

[glacial scarab]

Stats speak for itself

[hybrid raven]

i just got mine and i submitted 24 hrs ago

[hybrid raven]

^

[weak ivy]

Damn

I emailed them already so whatever

I got it just now

[fathom thicket]

Just got mine

[weak ivy]

My college guidance counselor said they were having technical difficulties with their portal for the past few days and that's why I got it so late

[rugged pulsar]

what email are u guys talking about?

[round acorn]

This

[pliant aurora]

the srar is actually so annoying

just removed 12 courses cause i realized i was doing it wrong

[naive hill]

wait i have a question abt the srar

does it want my current gpa

bc by the time decisions release it will have tanked

but rn it’s good

[wispy otter]

For rd you have to include first semester I’d presume

[naive hill]

I’m doing EDII, and this cumulative gpa is of my first term and second term, but my second term grades haven’t released yet

[pliant aurora]

i think u only put them if you've gotten them for sure

ik ive gotten my first sem senior year grades so im putting them but i think u can just put in progress if i'm not mistaken(?)

[lament cape]

i don't have my first sem gpa yet and won't for another 2 weeks at least, do i just wait to fill it out then

[jaunty portal]

You can just put in IP

(in progress)

[cyan ivy]

This SRAR is harder than the application itself 😩

[cyan ivy]

Is there anyway to add dual enrollment courses that aren't on high school transcript

[hidden parrot]

what is the School Report?

[fathom thicket]

bruh

🤡 why isnt it working

[pliant aurora]

It takes another several hours for it to actually activate 💀

[fathom thicket]

.

this is why i was a noshow at the tour i signed up for

even tho i literally live 40 min from the city

[pliant aurora]

LOL

Yeah I got that same error when I first tried it out. You have to wait like another day before activating

[fathom thicket]

😭

okok ty

[pliant aurora]

NYU is so, so unresponsive.

🤡

[naive hill]

I already submitted... i put my GPA as it is on aspen currently (so i wrote a number, my current gpa w/o term2 grades) but my course grades for senior year are all IP ofc

Do u think the GPA will be fine?

like look this is what my aspen says

this is my cumulative weighted gpa so far bc grades don’t come out for like 3 more weeks. soon this gpa will plummet bc of bio. will i still be ok if i submitted this number?

[wispy otter]

Is this ur uw or weighted

[naive hill]

weighted

[wispy otter]

Ah okay

Probs included uw too if they ask

[naive hill]

we have a 4.5 scale ☠️

[wispy otter]

But yeah that’s fine

[naive hill]

I did

[wispy otter]

Dude that’s insanely good then!

[naive hill]

It’s weird bc everyone at my school has a gpa like this

ppl are like .0something away from perfect

[wispy otter]

Is everyone cracked

[naive hill]

Ya like ppl have 4.47

[shy badge]

insane
