Life savers

[obtuse laurel]

[wispy otter]

HOT HANDS

[obtuse laurel]

[wispy otter]

[maiden meteor]

Wrap yourself with 1800 scarfs and 6000 jackets, I can assure u will be hot

[wet burrow]

What are these??

Are they hand warmers

[obtuse laurel]

肠粉 and 荷叶饭 for ¥5 and ¥12 respectively @wet burrow

[wispy otter]

Hand warmers

I swear by them

[wet burrow]

Damn I be going to Antarctica 😭

[wet burrow]

Wait that's cheap

[maiden meteor]

Sheesh taht good price

[wet burrow]

Gosh

5 yuan

My 煎饼 was 5 yuan in Shanghai

Best 煎饼 in the world

I miss the lady that makes them

[wet burrow]

I hate my school food but I now I miss it haha...

[maiden meteor]

Sweet ones?

[wet burrow]

Yea with the 甜面酱

And sausages 😍

And 油条

Fuck why am I doing this to myself

[maiden meteor]

Good thing I ate already

[wet burrow]

Why do I torture myself with food I can't obtain

It's like a Chinese crepe

It's got this sweet and salty sauce

Plus some vegetables

And sausages if you want

😭

If u go to HK I'm sure you'll get the chance to have it

Ur the person that got into hkust right?

I'm not hallucinating right 💀

Ahhhh yea hkust is so cool

[maiden meteor]

I usually like beef in this

[wet burrow]

Ooo I actually really never tried with beef

Yea good luck 🤞🤞

[obtuse laurel]

Well it’s also a subsidized price in 2018

[obtuse laurel]

Same fr

[wet burrow]

To be able to relive life....

[obtuse laurel]

Real real

I’d be keeping so many pictures from that

[wet burrow]

乐意赴汤蹈火去再吃一遍

[wet burrow]

Same

High school was such a flash

Man should've savored it

Damn, bad experience with it?

I see

I miss my friends the most from highschool

Once you leave it's hard to ever be that close again

[maiden meteor]

Fr

[wet burrow]

I see

Well college is a great restart

Hope you get the experience you want

Bruh

[maiden meteor]

Been at 3 high schools, I never got to build a close bond with my friends

[wet burrow]

I see

Yea college is great for this honestly

A fresh restart

Ahhh yea I see

Tons of ways to meet people in college

[maiden meteor]

Middle school was better for me

[wet burrow]

And people (I think) sort of chill out on college

[maiden meteor]

Best part I’m looking forward to

[wet burrow]

At least they don't seem like assholes on the outside

[wet burrow]

Yea fr

Go to every social event

Join clubs

Party if you like to

It's pretty fun

[cunning estuary]

Ooh

[wet burrow]

EA

Actually if we talk about uiuc

[maiden meteor]

EA for sure UIUC fill up they spots fast

[wet burrow]

We should switch to the uiuc thread lol

[cunning estuary]

I applied RD for UIUC

I def ain’t getting in

[obtuse laurel]

Can you gib $2500 so that I can fly back to my hometown to do that

[wet burrow]

We'll make it big after college and go back as many times as we want 💪

Wait sandy

When was the last time you were back?

[shy badge]

can u also give me 14k for my to fly back?

[wet burrow]

At least borders opened 😔

That's one step in the right direction

[shy badge]

💀 is everything this expensive?

14k for economy sounds crazy

[cunning estuary]

Jesus

[wet burrow]

It is 😭

Cause not enough flights to china rn

[shy badge]

yup ...

[wet burrow]

Due to covid

[shy badge]

💀

[cunning estuary]

Fair enough

[obtuse laurel]

Fr

[obtuse laurel]

On which airline

If you’re looking for a transpacific nonstop, give up

Middle East is a far better bet

[wet burrow]

😭

Yea go through Frankfurt maybe

[shy badge]

united

[obtuse laurel]

That’s not the Middle East

[shy badge]

let me check with transfers

[wet burrow]

True but it's also one cheaper type route

And it's going that same direction

[obtuse laurel]

Yep, Turkish, Qatar, Emirates, heck, even Ethiopian

[wet burrow]

Doha is a place to transfer

Dubai maybe too

[obtuse laurel]

Yep, they are well timed

[shy badge]

4k if i want to spend 30 hours travelling

[wet burrow]

Basically me when I came to the United States

Kekw

I spent more than 30 hrs traveling in the end I think

And flight delays uhghghfhfh

[wet burrow]

Hahaha pain.

[obtuse laurel]

If it’s a small city, it’s almost guaranteed to be doubly expensive

[shy badge]

it's not tho lol

the place i'm flying out of is quite big and Beijing is also quite big

[obtuse laurel]

Pain then

[manic plover]

How we list courses we'll take next semester

for the srar

or do we just not do this at all

[pliant aurora]

No need to do it at all.

In progress will suffice.

[manic plover]

ah, interesting

[azure wave]

if you’re talking about like the semester classes you switch out half way through the year, I think there is a way to put that you take it the second semester and put in progress

[manic plover]

yes

[azure wave]

or atleast that’s what I did

[manic plover]

I checked with support

[azure wave]

good idea yes

[manic plover]

we can list courses we're scheduled to take next sem as "in progress"

[azure wave]

yeah I was confused at first but then I just asked my guidance counselor for everything and it worked out

[manic plover]

yep

[azure wave]

I’m glad you figured it out 👍🏻

[manic plover]

ty

[azure wave]

srar doo doo

[manic plover]

lol

[pliant aurora]

off topic but love ur pfp

[azure wave]

same to you

[round acorn]

does nyu do interviews

[gilded stag]

my friend is applying to nyu and i am writing her peer LOR. when do i have to have it submitted by? (pls @ in ur response)

[pliant aurora]

@gilded stag May I ask why you are writing the letter? Generally, it should be someone who is in authority rather than a peer LOR.
https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/all-freshmen-applicants.html

"NYU requires one letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, coach, supervisor, or anyone else in a position of authority."

If you are still going to write the letter, you should have it submitted by January 15 at the latest.

[gilded stag]

i think i am an optional? im not sure

she already has the teacher ones

so im assuming im just an extra perspective(?)

[fathom thicket]

some schools take peer recs

[gilded stag]

im jus following directions LOL i was just curious when to submit it by

[pliant aurora]

Yeah I was just about to say -- in that case, make sure they have checked the NYU guidelines because they did not say "peers" were included in the list of possible people to write on behalf of the candidate...

It could hurt them if you write the recommendation.

[gilded stag]

okay

thank you

[pliant aurora]

So I would seriously warn them to look at the website because the list of eligible people to write LORs does not include you.

To be completely straightforward.

If it is their dream (or a top) school, please please please tell them this.

[gilded stag]

thank you for letting me know!!!

[pliant aurora]

I am sorry if I am being hurtful right now

[gilded stag]

LOL no ur completely good

i get it

[pliant aurora]

I just really want to make sure that their app doesn't get compromised

[gilded stag]

how should i tell her?

like just ask if nyu requires a peer rec or somethng

and then leeway into it

[pliant aurora]

I'd ask her if she'd be fine with you not writing a letter of recommendation.

[gilded stag]

okaay

[pliant aurora]

Give her the website: https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/all-freshmen-applicants.html

And tell her that she can have "up to three LORs from anyone in a position of authority"

I know of people who have been rejected from other schools for having LORs written by people who were not in the eligible list.

[gilded stag]

good to know, i appreciate it

[pliant aurora]

Yeah ofc. Maybe just write one for fun and send it to her just as a "here you are from your friend" informal thing after she submits.

That way she can at least read something that is super kind and heartfelt from you

[gilded stag]

i’ll prob end up doing that:)

[pliant aurora]

sounds good!

thanks for taking me so warmly lol, sometimes i can get super blunt if i'm concerned or anxious

[gilded stag]

i totally understand i get the same way sometimes

and you were very kind in making sure i knew the bluntness wasnt ill intended*. so i appreciated that a lot

[pliant aurora]

yep yep!!

best of luck to them

[gilded stag]

u 2 😁

[pliant aurora]

:D

[sturdy topaz]

are there any int kids applying thru the british system

that are fucked for the SRAR

i'm so confused

and NYU isn't replying on email :/

[vernal sparrow]

srar so slow ffs

[fathom thicket]

lol it still hasnt activated

[obtuse merlin]

im applying usins a levels and gcses yeah, but i havent started th srar yet

[graceful bough]

Yes - what’s the SRAR?

[wispy otter]

Self reporting your grades

[novel mountain]

hi

I did the SRAR

It’s exactly what it says, self reported academic record

Have a look at your GCSE’s and A level predicteds and input the information accordingly

I wish I could show you what mine looks like but I already submitted it. But please do reach out if you need any help

[sturdy topaz]

hi

basically

i'm doing igcse a levels right

and i have internal grades as well like mid terms and mocks and stuff

that's on my transcript as well as my igcse final grades and as levels

on nyus website it says this

so do i write my internal grades as well as my external?

or just the final igcses

because i was j gonna submit predicted and the igcses but then the submission box said ur app can be revoked if you omit anything

and idk if not writing the internal grades counts as ommission

[novel mountain]

i put my predicted grades on for grade 11

for my a levels

and then for grade 12 i just said everything else was incomplete

because it's an external board

[sturdy topaz]

i gave as levels

[novel mountain]

yea so did i

[sturdy topaz]

like the first half of a levels

[novel mountain]

yep

[sturdy topaz]

so i j put that for grade 11

and then predicted for 12

[novel mountain]

no i just put incomplete

for grade 12

because most people even in america wont have their grade 12 final grades anyway

[graceful bough]

I didnt do AS so I’ve just put my predicted grades for grade 11 and 12

[sturdy topaz]

did u have

like

[novel mountain]

what kinda boarding school bro

[sturdy topaz]

test weeks and internal grades

[novel mountain]

lol

[sturdy topaz]

is that

[novel mountain]

yea

we had mocks

[sturdy topaz]

something i need to mention

god my mocks and shit were awful

i was praying i don't need to write them on

[novel mountain]

i did AS mocks and i put those for grade 11 because my counselor is putting the same thing

[sturdy topaz]

right right

[novel mountain]

i dont have A level predicteds yet

[sturdy topaz]

righttt

[novel mountain]

shes uploading AAA so i put AAA in and i just put the course info and shit

like what board or whatever

[novel mountain]

This is how i feel about my upcoming mocks. I'm sitting my first exam tomorrow

I pray that they don't have to recieve updated information because I have a feeling I will crash and burn

[whole tiger]

did anyone not get their portal yet?

i got the application acknowledgement email and they said

We will soon send your NYU ID numbers and instructions on how to access your NYU Application Portal.
but i havent gotten it

idk if i just missed an email or smth

[hidden parrot]

I have my portal

[graceful bough]

I have my portal but my netid isn’t working so I’m waiting a couple days

[novel mountain]

Hi i have a question - I've got an additional LOR that i think would really help my application but I don't really see an option that says i can submit an additional one. Should i email the office of admissions directly or give it to my counselor?

[wispy otter]

Should be under other recommender

But that person should be the one to upload it

If not, I’d email your counselor

[novel mountain]

doesnt exist

These are all the options they provide

[wispy otter]

On the common app

oh you’re doing it after you already got the portal?

You’ll have to email counselor

You’re never supposed to send someone else’s letter directly to an AO

[novel mountain]

Yeah some universities allow you to upload additional information after you submit

[wispy otter]

Puts ferpa into question

[novel mountain]

I know georgetown does

okay

I will ask her. Thank you so much

[wispy otter]

Ofc

[novel mountain]

Okay so I emailed her and said she said she cannot submit it which kinda sucks. Any other option you can think of?

I'd appreciate anything at this point lol

[gentle lagoon]

does anyone know if SRAR is due today or 1/12? My application portal says the deadline is 1/12, but they emailed me that they need it by 1/8?

[zealous hazel]

What is the self-reported academic record

[sturdy topaz]

same

i just submitted it now

[sturdy topaz]

some bs nyu require to review ur admission

u basically copy paste ur high school transcript into their thing

[gentle lagoon]

ion have immediate access to my transcript sooo

[sturdy topaz]

yous gonna need it or i'd email admissions about it

[zealous hazel]

Bro my teachers still have yet to update my grades

[sturdy topaz]

NYU's decision releases on my birthday

i'm either gonna have a really good day or i'm going to hermit

[wispy otter]

What day?

[sturdy topaz]

im not overlooking it?

[wispy otter]

No

Did u check spam folder

[whole tiger]

[wispy otter]

Try ur regular inbox and search by nyu

If not, that’s scary

Did u submit onTime

[whole tiger]

yeah

theres nothing else...

[wispy otter]

Wait u submitted on Jan 5?

[sturdy topaz]

if you're rd you're okay

[wispy otter]

It has only been two days lmao

[whole tiger]

i'm just worried because

i want to get my srar done asap

i saw ppl saying here

• ive gotten all my other portals already

just hard panicking lol

[dusky tundra]

i thought it was due on the 18th

let me double check

[graceful bough]

No RD

Oh ok I’m confused I thought everyone was talking about RD

[dusky tundra]

on the portal the srar deadline is jan 20th @whole tiger

[whole tiger]

[hidden parrot]

[sturdy topaz]

[hidden parrot]

[whole tiger]

NVM I GOT THE PORTAL WE CHILLING 😎

[stable palm]

ME TOO

[fathom thicket]

why is my portal still not letting me

sign in

im so confused

[wispy otter]

What does it say?

[fathom thicket]

the same thing it said 2 days ago

^

[wispy otter]

Have u done password reset or talked to help desk

[fathom thicket]

password reset didnt work

havent tried help deskc uz weekend

idk

someone else said it usually takes several hrs

but now its been several hrs

[wispy otter]

Yeesh

I’d email

They’ll respond tomorrow probs

[fathom thicket]

valid, ill see tyy

[graceful bough]

Mines not letting me either

Im gonna send them an email tomoz

[brittle whale]

When is srar due

Also, do we have to send official test scores to nyu?

[lusty wharf]

Jan 18

[lusty wharf]

Optional I think

[brittle whale]

unofficial are fine then?

[lusty wharf]

No u need the score send I’m p sure

[fathom thicket]

when i email nyu abt my issues

do i put netid or universityid

[hidden parrot]

doesnt hurt to put both just in case

[fathom thicket]

ok

[hidden parrot]

make sure to clarify which is which though

[fathom thicket]

Yea ofc

Thank u

[brittle whale]

wait this sounds ambiguous - do I need to send the official scores or just self report is fine?

[sturdy topaz]

has anyone submitted the css profile and it's been reflected on their portal alr

[fathom thicket]

Selfreport is fine for nyu iirc

[hardy plume]

any international who has already completed the SRAR?

[brittle whale]

cool

[muted acorn]

🤚

[maiden meteor]

should i submit mid years grades by upload unofficial ones on NYU portal or have my counselor fill out the midyear-report on the commonapp?

[muted acorn]

the second would be better since its gonna go to other universities too - but the rest its up to you fam

[hybrid raven]

should i do SRAR when my mid report comes out in like a week

[fathom thicket]

Bruh

I sent an email at like 10 this morning

Abt my portal

Shoot me

[maiden meteor]

yeah mid year grades is hard for me as im on a full year schedule so letting my counselor do it is just better

submitted my srar without mid year grades too

[hardy plume]

did you include only your grades from 9th grade to 12th grade or did you complete your academic record since middle school?

I have been in my school since middle school and when they ask me for my coursework they also ask me from those years.

[lusty wharf]

question so for SRAR

do we enter self-studied AP courses considering those don't give us grades

or is that something for after admission for gen ed requirements

[wispy otter]

No

[hidden parrot]

what do I do if NYU doesn’t respond to my email

it’s been 3 days

[maiden meteor]

Same here but with BU

It’s kinda frustrating imo

But i guess it is what it is

Maybe try emailing them again after a week or so

[hidden parrot]

I might call them up

[maiden meteor]

Yeah that too

Is the call line long?

[hidden parrot]

no clue

[woven phoenix]

for my senior grades, i got my first term grades but my school gives a full year grade...so on srar should i still say full year but give IP as my grade but not the actual lette?

idk if that even made sense lol

[hallow snow]

you mean the transcript grades are only end of year?

if so yea only put IP

[woven phoenix]

yeah

ok ty

[muted acorn]

9th

May?

[fathom thicket]

April 1

[stable palm]

thats so far away

sadge

how do some oclleges release so early

like jhu is march 17th

[cobalt sparrow]

That's only like two weeks earlier

[stable palm]

thats a good bit of time

[cobalt sparrow]

I mean I guess, but it isn't "so early" vs "so far away"

[stable palm]

sure

[manic plover]

It feels much earlier

Especially considering how most of us here are probably anxiously awaiting for decisions to release

[covert pollen]

Anyone know how competitive Tandon is? The latest NYU engineering census had the average SAT around 1500 for most majors

[novel mountain]

Aint no way

Wait is this RD or ED2

[pliant aurora]

Don't international students have a chance to waive the SRAR requirement?

I know a friend who got it waived last year ed2 round

[brittle whale]

It's better if you complete it though

[pliant aurora]

Yhh, I figured as much 🤧 thanks man

[obtuse merlin]

[sturdy topaz]

[fathom thicket]

i cant change it

[wispy otter]

They recalc gpa based on that

Whoops probs won’t make a big diff

[fathom thicket]

i think nyu is just taking my suny bing srar + my sent transcript

so i cant

nyu is weird af

if theyre getting my suny bing srar does that mean they know i got in

[manic plover]

Does NYU receive a secondary school report

[fathom thicket]

😶 ** **

idk but my school sent one

[manic plover]

Then you’ll be fine

[wispy otter]

Wdym? It’s just the same srar that gets sent to diff colleges

[fathom thicket]

oh ok

cuz it says like

suny bing

explicitly

and i cant go back and review it

so idk

[wispy otter]

Ohhh? Weird why

It won’t change admissions

[fathom thicket]

true

[gentle lagoon]

Anyone in state applying through HEOP?

[hallow river]

yes!

[hidden parrot]

what’s that

[hallow river]

it’s a program for ny state residents that are disadvantaged and need financial help from the state

[whole tiger]

this is funny

because

ap precalculus...

is gonna be a thing...

next year...

😭😭😭

https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-precalculus

[fathom thicket]

No

I refuse

[muted acorn]

money

[whole tiger]

the morning it was announced, my math teacher just walked in like so pissed off

and he was just like

so annoyed

at collegeboard

[hidden parrot]

ah

[cunning estuary]

Lmfao I saw this shit

I graduate in June anyway so it don’t apply to me

It’s just the freshman sophomore and juniors that would deal w that shit

[whole tiger]

it matters to me... how else am i going to get my precalculus college credit 😭

/j

[maiden meteor]

Precalc college credit?

That’s a thing

[wispy otter]

Now it is

Newest ap course

Just a money grab tbh

[maiden meteor]

Wouldn’t AP calc override it too

[wispy otter]

Not everyone takes ap calc tho

[manic plover]

Yes

In reality, not everyone does STEM 🥴

Nor does everyone go to a T20 or something crazy

So AP precalc is useful for the group of people outside of the average A2C student

Granted, I, as a STEM student would love an AP Linear Algebra

But it’s all good

[whole tiger]

THIS IS SO TRUE

actually

no, i wouldn't

bc i like the way my teacher teaches things

and i feel like making it an ap course would screw with that

because then it wouldn't be really learning-centered but moreso ap test centered

[manic plover]

Applied linear algebra is pretty accessible to anyone who’s done algebra 2 tbh

[whole tiger]

yeah this is fair, but like my teacher also just like gives us fun computing assignments and stuff like that and i feel that an ap course would really detract from the experience of generally learning for me

[manic plover]

True, I don’t think an ap course format would stick very well for a course like linear algebra

[whole tiger]

i think once you get into higher maths a generalized structured curriculum starts getting less feasible

[manic plover]

Yeah

[manic plover]

Do you use octave or something?

That’s why my linear algebra course used this sem

[whole tiger]

nah, python, since not everyone really has cs experience

the computing stuff is more at ppls own pace

[manic plover]

Ahhh okay

[whole tiger]

w challenges and stuff

[manic plover]

That’s cool

[whole tiger]

also making geogebra demonstrations

[manic plover]

Oooh

My course was applied but still spent a pretty good deal of effort on mathematical logic and proofs

[whole tiger]

yeah i think for us its a lot of mathematical logic and proofs so far

but some applied stuff, and our teacher gave us a sneak peek into later projects where we'll choose what we want to apply it to

so im looking forward to that

[manic plover]

Nice

Yeah mine did a similar thing

For my final project I did research into the applications of linear algebra towards electrical flow network analysis

[whole tiger]

ooh nice

i have no idea what im going to do but hopefully an idea pops up

after all i have a whole like 4 months before this project is assigned probably

[manic plover]

Nice

Is your project a demonstration of the applications of linear algebra?

My teacher had a topic list for this sort of project

[shy badge]

AP PreCalc ... 😨

what?!?!?

[shy badge]

same lol

[whole tiger]

oh idk yet (it hasnt been assigned, he just showed us stuff that the class from last years class did when i was in his calc class) but knowing him, there won't be a topic list

since all the projects from last year + this year weve gotten a lot of freedom with them and what we want to do

[manic plover]

Nice!

Hopefully the project will turn out well for you :)

[wispy otter]

Im only doing stats 😭

YALL r too smart

[manic plover]

Nah, I just like math

[whole tiger]

one-trick math person 💀

not very good at humanities (or even science, actually)

[shy badge]

same honestly

[wispy otter]

Ah

rly not even like physics?

Or astronomy

[whole tiger]

physics i was good at last year

that was like, state level physics

and then ap physics c came and uhh 💀

[wispy otter]

HAHA

Touché

[shy badge]

ngl, im taking ap physics c this year as a one-trick maths person and I hate it

maybe it's just my school's teacher, but it's one of the worst classes I've taken in high school and that says something considering I'm putting it below some of my english classes

[whole tiger]

no it's probably not your teacher tbh

my teacher is great and i know that

and yet its still one of the worst classes ive taken in high school

[shy badge]

tbf, maybe a bit biased b/c I just took a quiz for that class that made me want to punch a wall

Instead of putting actual physics problems, my teacher asks us to describe the precise steps, actions we did in class, and subsequent thought process to develop an understanding of a "unit objective" (which were never defined by the way!) Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but this is ~1.5 months after we've finished said unit, not to mention spanning winter break

combined with my bad memory, it was an absolute disaster

[cunning estuary]

Lmao

[naive hill]

ap precalc ☠️☠️☠️ im barely doing ok in regular precalc and had to drop honors

[smoky storm]

what even is the point of AP precalc, there isn't a precalc class at college so it makes no sense as "advanced placement"

[polar otter]

ap precalc would have kicked my ass it was so much harder than ap calc

[polar otter]

the collage board wants that sweet AP a2c prestige whore cash

[wispy otter]

Ok tbh

They probably realized that not every kid takes calc

HOWEVER

it was 100% also for the money

[smoky storm]

at this point just nationalize college board and make AP the national curriculum

[polar otter]

really they are terrible

[polar otter]

id rather die it’s such a terrible system viva la revolution

[wispy otter]

Ap African American history is a thing now too

[smoky storm]

but that's not capitalist and freedom so i guess not happening at the US of A

[polar otter]

the most capitalist thing would actually be to give a private company complete control of the nations curriculum imo

i don’t know anything though i didn’t take AP Exploitation

also when AP women’s studies thats a gold mine

[smoky storm]

there is a nationalization part

but nothing is ever nationalized in america so

[polar otter]

well we all have mcdonald’s

stars and grease stripes 😻❤️

[wispy otter]

They’re blue in Australia!

What a disgrace

[polar otter]

i feel sick just thinking about this

what the fuck

that’s heartbreaking

[wispy otter]

https://i.insider.com/5aa198137708e9364e30e194?width=889&format=jpeg

[polar otter]

red is the most patriotic color (color of the veins i burst when i think of washington dc) how could they

[wispy otter]

Actually it’s in America my bad

EVEN worse

[polar otter]

AGH AGH AGH AGH

[smoky storm]

DO NOT
ENTER

[wispy otter]

(Macas in Australia tho)

[wispy otter]

This is Arizona

[polar otter]

oh okay that makes sense

[wispy otter]

WHATTT

how does that makes sense

[polar otter]

arizona

[smoky storm]

arizona

[wispy otter]

I like Arizona

They aren’t so bad

That’s just libtard propaganda 😏

[smoky storm]

W

[cunning estuary]

🥲

[cunning estuary]

💀

Oh Jesus

[maiden meteor]

yeah what i was wondering

[zinc meadow]

they're milking the kids

[hallow snow]

so how's my homie SUNY NYC

[naive hill]

I did a cb survey and suggested there be a course taught on black history. limiting the scope to just african american history seems a bit niche

[hallow snow]

Plz tell me you're being sarcastic

[vernal sparrow]

[graceful bough]

When’s the deadline for the SRAR for regular applicants?

[polar otter]

18th

[graceful bough]

Thanks

[jaunty portal]

Damn nyu dead 🫡

[pliant aurora]

Officially dude 🤧

[sturdy topaz]

hol on

if i don't get the candidate

weekend

invitation

does that mean i'm out

[tardy tundra]

wym

what candidate weekend invitation

[polar otter]

i don’t know google it

see what people who got in say

probably a reddit post somewhere with the stats

[pliant aurora]

The candidate weekend invitation is a huge sign that you will receive an acceptance letter

I've personally tracked it for 2 years in all rounds till now, if you don't get the candidate weekend invitation, your chances of receiving an acceptance letter is low

Not impossible though 💀

[hallow snow]

Bruh where's mine then

[pliant aurora]

lol, when did you apply?

[hallow snow]

November

I outclass the fuck out of my HS avg admit stats

[pliant aurora]

ED2?

[hallow snow]

There's not even rejects at my stat level

RD

[pliant aurora]

Ohh no probs

Those invitations will mostly come first weeks of Feb

[zinc meadow]

no need for portal astrology lmao

[hallow snow]

Ah icic

[hallow snow]

Its not lol

Its likr an additional info request

There's a reason they ask its kot random

[zinc meadow]

Right

[pliant aurora]

🫡

[vernal sparrow]

this is for all NYU campuses?

i know it's there for NYUAD

but haven't heard of it for NYU NYC

[sturdy topaz]

no clue

for nyuad there is

did anyone else ed2 to nyuad

[vernal sparrow]

yea that's what

for NYU NY there isn't one.

[naive loom]

i did nyu rd with no supplemental essay lmao

[wispy otter]

Lmao why

[hallow snow]

its what smart kids do

[hallow snow]

no need to do supp if u big brain asl and allat

[naive loom]

it was optional but every other year before it was required lol

[hallow snow]

supplementals are goofy anyways

acutally

all essays are goofy

[naive loom]

i actually wasnt planning to apply but then they sent me an email on saturday that they "extended" the deadline to sunday

[hallow snow]

can we j have AOs stalk me and ask around about me from my closest friends or smt

[naive loom]

so i was like f it and applied without supplement ez

[naive loom]

tru especially for lazy people like me

[vernal sparrow]

why 😭

that's literally the peak of un-demonstrating interest

[smoky storm]

especially with the NYU essay which you can just paste in your generic diversity essays lol

[hallow snow]

could u

i lowk didnt check

[vernal sparrow]

yeah exactly

and just like modify the last para for NYU

that's it

😭

[smoky storm]

like, you can include some NYU specific things

but it's kind of fine just not to

[vernal sparrow]

ngl it would be fine if they ED2ed

but RD 😭

NYU RD is almost comparable to uchicago RD

and uchicago RD has like a 2% ar

[smoky storm]

uchicago is not worth it considering their weird essays

for RD

[vernal sparrow]

yeah true

[manic plover]

definitely

[slender mortar]

what is temporary pin when I try to login

I got no such thing for my portal

[naive loom]

Imagine I get accepted lmao

[smoky storm]

didn't someone write "balls" for their essay for some prestigious college and got accepted

[hallow snow]

bro lowk i dont doubt i will

i have a 100% chance of getting in

top of the pack typa shit

[vernal sparrow]

🫡

[naive loom]

yea im that outlier, the little green dot on the 1100

[naive hill]

i did

[fading remnant]

i need help for the self reporting grades. how do i report courses like health, ap gov, ap macro where those course only have 1 semester grades and not 2

[polar otter]

select “not in progress” and put the credit value as zero

that’s what my counselor said to do when i asked her

colleges can figure it out from that

[hoary niche]

I reported my goofy 1350 SAT for ED on commonapp by accident i feel like im screwed 💀

[covert pollen]

What major?

[hoary niche]

international relations

[novel spoke]

gg

[lone citrus]

Is NYU social experience enjoyable or just academics and good professional placement? Is it easy to make friends? Or Party? I need help knowing it is really important

[polar otter]

it’s new york city

even if there’s no campus you’re surrounded by the city and all the transplants who are there for collage

definitely easy to party 💀 although making friends is more dependent on you

don’t worry about it it’s fine

[novel spoke]

Yes there’re parties EVERYWHERE

[sturdy topaz]

say i get rejected

am i able to email admissions just to ask why or like ask for my file

just for future reference to know where i went wrong

not a "why did you reject me im the best" type email

[hidden parrot]

I think appealing a rejection is always possible?

[whole tiger]

uhh idt theyd give you the file honestly

[zinc meadow]

can you email? sure!
will they give it to you/do they even have it? prob not.

idt they record that kinda stuff lmao

[sturdy topaz]

lol

fair enough

just sucks cause ion think i'm getting in and i wanna know where i fell short

[zinc meadow]

doesn't hurt to email if you don't get in right

[sturdy topaz]

i guess i guess

[zinc meadow]

shouldn't expect much tho

[sturdy topaz]

yeah

nyuad send their candidate weekend invites p soon

just praying i get it

[zinc meadow]

lol

in other news

SRAR is

[sturdy topaz]

on god

[pliant aurora]

When?

are they sending?

[sturdy topaz]

weekend falls on feb 4th

historically been sent from anywhere b/w 17th-25th

although this ed1 received it p late (dec 2nd) when the weekend was on dec 10th

[pliant aurora]

why is it so early?.. ed1 CW was just 5 days before decision date

is ed2 CW evaluative?

[sturdy topaz]

i mean

nyuad doesn't mention it being evaluative or not

but it's said that is practically becomes an interview-ish thing

where getting invited means you're good enough to get into the school based on merit

but they wanna see if you fit in so you take classes etc

[pliant aurora]

oh

[sturdy topaz]

but that's just said - i.e random online forums of people

so take it w/ a grain of salt

[night rose]

do you know if it’s online this year?

i applied to abu dhabi as my second preference.. would i even be considered for the weekend ?

[sturdy topaz]

yep its virtual

[sturdy topaz]

honestly idk how the preference thing works

[night rose]

was it your first pref?

[wispy otter]

Each admissions views u separately

If New York rejects you but abu wants you, that’s what you get

[sturdy topaz]

yeps

i need aid

and nyuad is v v v generous w aid

[night rose]

yeah same 😭 i need aid too but i didn’t want to give up and the new york dream rip

[sturdy topaz]

also genuinely love their campus

[night rose]

i would be so so so happy going to nyuad tho

[sturdy topaz]

i don't really fuck w ny ngl

[night rose]

it’s close to home the campus is so good

lol pls take me atp

[sturdy topaz]

on god

[night rose]

low-key i get it now

don’t really want the rats on subway life now

[sturdy topaz]

i need to actually visit nyc

[night rose]

but too late

[sturdy topaz]

before i make my mind up

but friends who went said they hated ny

[night rose]

yeah same

i guess it’s a good place to visit not to live

[hidden parrot]

do you wanna live in the uae?

[night rose]

i want to

dubai

[hidden parrot]

why?

[sturdy topaz]

i'm muslim

so

i kinda like

[hidden parrot]

ah

[sturdy topaz]

the availability of

[hidden parrot]

fair enough yeah

[night rose]

just because it’s close to india but not india

[sturdy topaz]

halal food n stuff

so

it's just easier for me

to reside there

[hidden parrot]

hm

[night rose]

makes sense

[hidden parrot]

yeah that’s fair

[sturdy topaz]

mhm

[hidden parrot]

what I like about dubai

is that like 82% of the residents are immigrants

which is super cool

[sturdy topaz]

yes

diversity

is amazing there

[hidden parrot]

ye

[sturdy topaz]

man

i want nyuad so bad

i shoulda ed1

to it

but i was j unsure

[hidden parrot]

are you ed2?

[sturdy topaz]

mhm

[hidden parrot]

gl

[sturdy topaz]

ty ty

[hidden parrot]

what’s the acceptance rate

[sturdy topaz]

see

they market it as 4%

but that's bec

people put nyuad as 2nd and 3rd pref

which counts as an application to it
