i thought nyu was self report
wtfff
@desert lagoon ??
yea if u enroll
im done
howd u get feewaiver
thtey wanted me so bad they texted me a fee waiver
lmfaoooo
SUBMITTED!!
lmfao dw i made the same mistake
NYU thread but y'all yapping about football
I submitted my app yesterday, but i have yet to recieve my login portal, is that normal?
Soccer?
it's New York man, they will def give, but it'll be need aware for you
Yes, it takes time
Is econ (CAS) as competitive as stern?
yes
employers 😂
is the debt worth it tho
i think what u do during undergrad matters more than which place you got your degree from
agree
indeed!!
bro nyu jus sent me an email saying i didnt apply for finaid but when i went back on the commonapp and looked at my responses i clicked yes
should i be worried lol
Can someone please send the portal link?
I'm trying to bookmark all portals
but i still didn't get any portal
u should maybe check on them once ur portal arrives
can u send me the portal link
I still dont have it yet
they sent me like an email saying we got ur app and will send the portal shortly
ya u get it in ur email
bro chill you'll get it in a bit
portal link isn't gonna help anyways you need your netit and university id
i applied on jan 1 and got it yesterday
so if you applied on the deadline its prolly gonna take a week
???? I clearly indicted I applied for aid wtf
EXACTLY
LOOK ME TOO
Nah bruh
i think they sent that to everyone 😭
why dont u just wait till u get it in ur email
uh i didnt get that
guys, i indicated in my application that I want to apply to financial aid
but
this was in the NYU application acknowledgement email
tf is going on
everyone got the same mail I think 🤣
they be trying to scam us
Did anyone get a portal email yet
Yea
No
Did you not perform very well in q2?
No like I am probably gonna end up with like low As in 2 AP classes and then (maybe but I hope not) a B in AP Calc
the rest r As
That’s completely fine
Its cuz im paranoid that it will be bad cuz on my transcript I have high grades and I took challenging AP courses last year
I only slipped up a tad bit this year cuz of applying and sick LOL
wdym
no email by common app saying your application was sent through?
Mine still says submitted
Wait till monday
they download apps around 00.00 - 03.00 am
email them if they dont download it in like 6 hours
from what i've seen, nyu typically takes longer to give applicants their logins compared to other colleges
johns hopkins took like almost a week to gimme mine
maybe even a week
does nyu require quarter grades
cus my school has progress reports, and nobody rlly cares about them so nobody maxes out their grades for tha
i had unsubmitted work for my 2nd quarter cus its unofficial so lowish grades
hoping nyu ed2 wont ask for that, since my semester 1 grades are coming out feb 4th (idk if that will get to nyu in time)
guys did u get a portal yet? they sent me my id but like it doesnt even work
the id they sent me doesnt even work
like i got that hting too
did you follow the steps in the email
theres no steps they sent me
i didnt get that wtf
what did they send u?
and then my id
when i put in my id here they sent it doesnr even work
it says the format is wrong
and hsould start with N
yeah
if you havent gotten that ID yet then
you cant make an account
mine is 3 letters and 4 numbers
NetID
like abc1024
wrong ID
thats the NetID
What you need is your UniversityID
to activate it
like i submitted on the 31st
and just got portal access on the 4th
wait also u cant do the srar until u get the portal right?
i sent in my sat already tho but srar no
Why haven't I gotten the portal yet 😭😪😪
same
it took me a while to get mine
I was complaining too
😭
We will all get the portals dw
When is nyu srar due I got portal this morning
Maybe
My SRAR auto submitted because they use the same software as Virginia Tech
I wouldn't be surprised if PSU and NEU used the same software too
Ik same I just got mine this morning ☺️
yeah, they have you submit your grades on thier portal. It's not the SRAR
Technically the same, so you shouldn't have to fill it out again, but I believe you still need to confirm and submit ur grades on each school's portal
Yea its thru their own portal
I applied early decision 2. If I don’t get accepted on my first choice program, I know it isn’t binding. If I get accepted to my second choice program, when would I have to tell them if I’ll attend? 1 May?
wait fr? if u dont get accepted to ur first choice, it isnt binding?
Yeah
However I heard that you still have to tell them within that week if you’re attending but Im not sure
so I wanted to know if thats true
Same as ED deadline
Apears linked on my srar but I dont even have my portal yet ?
guys if I selected yes for Abu Dhabi and Shanghai Campus
if I dont get into NYU would they just send there instead 💀
i was about to come and ask about that LMAO
i wasn't planning on applying either way but still
who knows
they just want your application fee
honestly i doubt it would hurt your chances tho
what 😭
again???
why do schools keep doing this to me
ughhghhhh
i applky on time, then they extend
its actually crazy
but who knows
yeah they just greedy
application fees is just free money for them
indeeeed
and lower acceptance rate = higher prestige
indeed
does NYU even care about demonstrated interest?
no
the lady on live said no so

imma be honest ion think they care
it’s ggs for me fr
they want their money and then put our names in a hat and guess our admission

lmao possibly
is cas or tandon more selective?
cas
from what ive heard yeah
wish I could switch my regular to ED 2 😦
i think there's an option to
i could be wrong
but i know for uchicago there is
Ok ill look around I done even have my portal yet
👍
Duke and Nyu are only schools of mine that haven’t sent the portal yet 
they sent me like 2 days ago
They’d consider you for sure
But all three campuses are pretty competitive
just got my nyu portal finally got all of em
Good
did anyone send in their CSS Profile
cuz I sent mine like 3-4 days ago
and they still don’t have it
😭
I’m scared they gonna think I ain’t meet the deadline
whats the deadline
jan 15th
ty
its financial deadline btw just wanna say that if u thought i meant sumn else lol 😭
yup thanks im just too lazy to fill out the css profile

somewhere on your financial aid checklist on the nyu portal, i forgot where exactly on it though, there was some kind of form you can fill out if your checklist says they haven't received your css profile yet. it's a short form, they ask you for your css profile id or whatever it's called.
so maybe try finding it if they don't mark it as received on the checklist a couple of days from now.
oh I did that
still nothing
😭😭😭
I did that 1-2 days ago
babes u need all the money u can get
maybe give it a few more days, at least a couple of days before the jan 15 deadline
real
my mom called nyu “gayland” one time out of nowhere and i was like “what?” 😭😭😭😭
well i mean…liberal school? 😭😭
well that can be confusing and people might think it means liberal arts school
why am i laughing at this
💀💀💀
Yeah
Theres a couple
I did nyu precollege where u take courses that give u college credit during summer
I think slightly yes but not as much as one would think
Yes I guess it would count towards the demonstrated interest
and in my case my professer wrote me a lor
Its a pretty expensive program tho I got a partial scholarship
There are many other opportunities despite the precollege program yk
I think there are some classes at nyu precollege relating to business
Ik my roommate took one but he didnt like it that much
From the summer high school programs the best imo has to be yale young global scholars
Sorry I meant in general
At nyu I think theres also another one called smth like NYU cali
I think that one they pay for your expenses
Im just sayin u could find good opportunities to make you application stand out that dont cost a lot
idk but an ao came in to our school and i asked her that and she said no they dont track demonstrated interest
its weird cause i attended a program for nyu office of diversity and inclusion and they said to emphasize the completion of this program in ur supplemental essays
according to their CDS demonstrated interest is considered
you'd be surprised some are quite not accepting here
A lot are though so theres a good balance
takes a while for NYU
i just don't want them to think i have an incomplete app
i heard that ppl who don't turn in the css profile on time get their chances lowered just cuz of late documents
I think you'll be fine they genuinely take a while
mine probably took a week or two iirc
Does NYU look at an ED II applicant's mid-year grades during admissions?
^^^^^
my shit comes out feb 4th
i hope they will see it + my updated gpa/ranking
considering the decision comes out 15th they prob already decided on you so
like ALREADY or by feb 4th
the prob have most ed2 apps done by feb 4th
welp that sucks
my gpa is barely 96 rn
but itll be 97.5 ish
for semester 1
which is a big difference in my school imo
I think so
You can update transcripts and such in your applications iirc
ur overall or j senior yr
overall
but my overall will change to a 97.5
cus ill have like 103 ish
but my top 10% is all 100+ average cus theyre all omega tryhards 😭
its joever for me
i also got a 103 w but my uw is 94 💀
i got boned by spanish 4
or for the semester
i got a 86
overall
7 aps senior year
i am infact one of the sweats ur talking about
and soph/fresh?
all hns
OH
thats why ur gpa is so high
my school offers like
3 fucking honors classes
well not rlly
college now
- like 3-4 separate honors classes
well my school is pretty big
but
2k+ kids
i took 9 aps total
well
1 sophomore year
+1 honor (college now)
then junior was 3 aps + 1 honor
what does that mean
and rn its 5 aps + 1 honor
^
college now is a weighted honors class
for some reason
lol
but my school doesnt put in lab
or gym
into my gpa
which fucking SUCKS
i have a 93 UW
but a 96 W
my gym grade brings my w gpa down so it screens me
mm
lol
idk
im applying stern ed2
but
ecs?
same state as the school
true
i got all 4s
my ecs are p good imo
and my grades are better than his
- essays (imo)
so i have a shot i think
idk how big but
some kind of shot lol
the thing i think im fucked for is non of my ecs are for business

cus there was school specific info i could change
i mean
me too ngl
i dont think ANYONE else did what i did
like reusing that much
lmao
how many u apply
lol
sur
like 25 ish not done applying
has anyone gotten their portal yet? i just got the email confirmation from nyu that they received it and the email from shanghai
Same here, got it a few days ago
I’m prob gonna end up with 1 or 2 Bs and freaking out HELP
I hope they dont look at it that much…
I did not
Applied Jan 5th 9:30 PM EST
Friendly reminder to check your spam folders. Your logins might be in there.
ye i applied january 5th as well !!
isn't NYU need blind?
Nyuad is not ny
its need aware for international students
they won't care
I promise
this school gives the slowest portals bruh
indeed
When is SRAR due
Today 💀
IMO it's the coolest
Like you get to have a glimpse of the actual student portal
The online library, course info pages and stuff
because that would make things too easy for us
i did not get my nyu portal yet but my applicaton downloaded
am i fucked bc srar due either td or tmr?
srar took like 2 min for me cause i already filled it out for like 3 other schools that also required it
i did for rutgers
can it transfer
over
Mine came in
15
pls carry me in val
i got another email saying i applied but still no login😭😭
n and then o
It takes few days
There's a big button on the portal
If you haven't gotten the portal login you can create an account at https://srar.selfreportedtranscript.com/ and fill it out early
Is anyone else having a problem with activating their NetID
You can try again tomorrow or try and do it through duo mobile..I think you can do it through that app
Sometimes they don't work immediately
Hey so
For the people that did get their netID and email stuff
What was the subject title of the email that told you the information
(Except the name obviously)
Reason is I’m triple checking my emails again
Your NYU ID Numbers and Applicant Portal
I didn't get my NYU portal as well.
guys, how long does it usually take to receive the credientials for the portal?
anyone got their portal info yet 😭
Bro I haven't and idk what to do
I cant even submit this shit
i still didn’t too lmao
💀
Same
nyu portal is dogshit
same
Yet SRAR is somehow due tn
Ok...
it varies per person
Ah
Idk that's just what people are saying
yeah so cant trust that
My understanding was the SRAR was due for ED people
Cause how are you suppose to submit if they haven't even given the ID
^
it should be due jan 15 for rd
for me at least
maybe it’s based on when you get portal
guys can you transfer from one of their satellite campuses to NYU new York
like from Abu Dhabi or Shanghai to NYC
its not possible to get a css fee waiver for main campus this year, right?
you can but it's supposedly quite complicated
I mean idc about finanical aid or anything like that or even major since I can just easily transfer when I get into NYU I am just like what if I dont like ABu Dhabi or sum
or Shanghai or sum like that
also if you didnt want to go to abu dhabi or shanghai my suggestion would have been for you to not put them down as options in the first place TT
SRAR is asking me my grades from 6th grade 
bc i attended my highschool since 6th grade all the way to 12th
so should I just say that I attended my highschool from 9th grade?
because technically it says 'highschool', refering to 'highschool years'
hyunjin 😭😭
Yeah ive attended my school for 9 years now
so i just put 2020-2024
the high school years
what????
how tf do they wanna know what u got in 6th grade
😭
unless 6th grade is
middle school
in ur school
cuz if u took a high school course in middle school
then yeah report that
it is middle school
but i took no high school course in middle school
but they were still asking for it 
if u earned highschool credit from the courses then u should add it 
are you sure the uni asked for grades before high school?
they asked me for like 2017 - 2018
when I was in grade 6
you might want to call them and make sure
also if they ask me what is the equavalent of my grade (like my school goes to 12th grade), should I just make it equavalent to 13th grade US?
there's no such thing as 13th grade
im not sure if that's how conversion works or anything, im not an international student so i wouldnt know
In my country the primary middle and high schools in a single K12 campus are considered separate legal entities
If that's the case for yours too, you can say you attended it since the beginning of actual high school
but for me they are the same school are are legally the same entity : (
so that wont work for me
and plus on commonapp i said I began studying at my high school from 2017
so it wont match
ong bro, has anyone received their portal login info yet?
been waiting for 5 days, yet, no response from nyu
mines took abt 5 days
Mine says SRAR deadline is 15th
have u received your portal login yet?
yea, yesterday
dang, good for you bro
I don't think you should worry about it too much
just constantly check the email and you'll be fine
damn
that's quite a problem then
did they say that in the email?
bc it would be weird if it did since as far as i know they don’t ask for anything before high school
they said it in my SRAR report
it is weird
ima just leave it blank and see if they ask additional info
maybe it is for people who want to mention any highschool courses they took
that's really weird bc i went to an asian secondary school that was 6 years and i only needed to put 4 years of us-equiv high school
has anybody here ever taken college credit-earning college courses and listed it on the SRAR and when they go review it, it doesn't show up?
like i listed the community college i went to on my srar, but only my hs courses show up when i go review my submitted SRAR
the srar asks for all grades
look at what the nyu email said
My application checklist is showing a tick for Standardized Testing (I sent my SAT scores with my Common App application).
But clicking the link on it sends me to a website where I can self-report test scores. Am I supposed to enter my test scores there too?
(I'm applying to NYUAD where I heard test scores matter a lot, and my test scores are the only great part of my application. Should I self-report my SAT just in case?)
Bruh my netid came in through my css comfirmation email 💀
j got my stuff
got mine too
help pls 😢
Hi, for US High School classes, is course level "General" or is it "Standard"?
I just got mine an hour ago
weird question but did you pay the fees or request a fee waiver ?
I paid the fee
I think as long as you haven't received a portal, you have some leeway
i hope so
i got the acknowledgement email so at least they have my app
Bruh moment
I literally JUST activated the account and my srar was automatically turned in
Apparently
When I did the campus tour, they said it was possible but really difficult so don’t expect it
Not complaining but I’m just confused
Did you fill it out or not yet
Uh oh
I just opened it and it was marked received
I don’t think it means “omitted” in any way. I think it could be that it carried over info from another app.
Or the school coulda filled it in for me
The interface sucks because you can’t even verify when it was sent
Ah
Yeah it did
It carried over my vtech app
LESGOOOO
do i have to update my srar to include first semester grades? its over but i dont have my report card in
Same boat
I just left first sem as IP
cuz that's what's gonna show up on the initial transcript that was sent with ur app
did you just apply? because i applied to tandon about an hour ago and have not recevied a portal
Wasn't the deadline last Friday for RD
ikr
extended
i want the portal so i can fill out the srar as soon as possible thats why im confused how this person got it already yet i didnt
Yeah it’s probably due to slow systems and such
i wasn't gonna apply but they gave me a fee waiver AND extended my deadline
so time to do this essay in an hour
this is probably the highest-ranked school i've seen give an extension are they desperate
I was wondering if i should submit my sat to nyu tandon. I applied test-optional but i heard it's better to submit it.
Are you happy with your score
u should submit it if it’s above the 25th percentile
it's around 1370. I only wrote it once
Check common dataset
I did the 25th percentile given was 1370 but it was an old edition. I couldn't find a recent one
They're required by law to put it out- it should be out there
OH I'll check for it again. But i was wondering if 1370 was a good score for tandon, my composite score was not very good.
Idk 1370 is low for nyu I think
But CDS is best to confirm suspicions
And if you're an intl, it gets even harder
Yeah I thought the same. I think my grades and my ec are quite good. Straight A's and published research and stuff like that . SO maybe being test-optional is better ig
Hmmm ask any NYU intls here
Admits especially
Sure i'll do it after school. Thanks 😄
AFAIK you don't have to, but I don't know a lot about NYUAD's application process
you can start filling out without NYU portal
it will link automatically
I recommend TO
i never did it on the portal but they said they got it?
if i did it on common app would it say that
i thought it was one u had to do specially for the school
did you do it for another school
i did it on https://srar.selfreportedtranscript.com/
the grade section of my common app is filled out if thats what u mean
If you mean writing specifically for NYU, not necessarily, they accept other schools' SRARs too
But idk if they accept the common app self reported grades
i feel like this is a mistake
chill one sec
lowkey doxed myself there lemme crop it 😂
says received but
feels wrong
Idk really, I'd still fill out the SRAR unless you have other priorities
Definitely will was just surprised to see that
someone sent it once
OH, where did they apply to?
I don't wanna risk it tho
Did you fill out another srar to a different school
Because it likely carried over
nyu
did they apply to tandon?
wait dafuq is this
got it from the test discussion channel so don’t hold me accountable if it’s wrong lol
lol, the 25th percentile is around 1450. I just checked too
Best be test-optional then.
yeah a lot of people went test optional
lot of people I talked to either went optional or had a 1500 sat score as an intl student.
Woww. I only wrote in once. Didn't have any time
intl student btw
wdym wrote in once
I wrote the sat once only. I didn't do a second-attempt
wherea re you from?
for a first attempt uour score is really really good
i did it a bunch of times
saudi
2023 just felt like it was on speed 24/7 for me
same
no? i applied by the deadline
for the srar when we're given some shit like dis what do i answer bro
like do i answer which year of french it is for me or do i jus go with 12th grade being 6th year 11th grade being 5th year etc
what level french are you
oh then what did u mean
like what grade i was in?
didnt realize you were international
in the us every year is a level
im not sure if you're supposed to convert it somehow
idk maybe ask in #🌻-app-questions
oh wtf
gwad damn bro being intl is doing me 0 favours rn
and its gonna be even worse for acceptance rate
a fucking mazing
I would definitely not submit that
I could put the level at spanish for native speakers
im also international
I did it for every year
dat dont exist for french
im not seein it
wtf mane what do i puuuuuuutttt 😭

dm me screenshot of your choices if you want @mellow summit
NOO
check dms
🙂
i like ur name
anyone who got into EDI AD campus? I have some questions can i dm?
is it still possible to change my first choice
i ED’d
i want my first choice to be stern but its currently second in my Application lol
wtf are they talking about 😭
Wait did you actually fill it or did they send this because of your common app grades?
THANK U
I didn’t fill it out they are insane
i got this too
did you do the NEU or state school's SRAR
its all in one system
so it gets shared between colleges i think
kinda like the css in a way
am i in the rigth spit for NYU's self reported classes?
Bro what does it say
Literally says “NYU self reported academic record”
What else would it be?
Sometimes I’m baffled by the things you guys ask here
there’s an option that’ll say “no grade - in progress”
well i have a grade for it tho, they are just concurrent enrollmenet classes
The things I’ve done are the common app grades, the Georgia thing, and the Texas one. Be surprised if Texas shared it with them
I’m gonna email them and ask wtf is going on
If you did an srar at another school, it’s likely that the data carried over due to them using the same service
I think it’s called slate
So basically, you fill one, it fills all
is it a final grade? like on your transcript final
what was the deadline for the SRAR?
i dunno what the "georgia thing or texas one" is but if you did an SRAR before it most likely transfered over to nyu.
if you applied to neu or similar schools you most likely had to go into SRAR and make sure your previous one did, I assume nyu is different
You will be able to access the SRAR through your NYU Applicant Portal which is available to you after submitting your application. Once submitted, it will take up to 48 hours for it to show as received in your Applicant Portal. You will have a few days after your decision deadline to submit your SRAR to NYU
They sent an email telling me that the deadline got extended to the 10th, so do the "few days" start after that or should I send them an email explaining why im late
yes
wait does nyu get it from here?
or common app?
js put it exactly as it appears on your transcript
i think thye might but they primarily use the srar one i believe
like look at this
okok so basically
the stuff inputted on common app doesnt matter right?
its only the SRAR stuff from above that does right
I think soo I’m not sure
finally did SRAR
My application checklist is showing a tick for Standardized Testing (I sent my SAT scores with my Common App application).
But clicking the link on it sends me to a website where I can self-report test scores. Am I supposed to enter my test scores there too?
(I'm applying to NYUAD where I heard test scores matter a lot, and my test scores are the only great part of my application. Should I self-report my SAT just in case?)
might be for those who didn't enter scores in common app
it does say unofficial SAT reasoning test so you're fine
How long does the fafsa take to go through? It’s been stuck at under review for 5 days now and I’m afraid I’ll miss the nyu deadline
FAFSA deadline extended to Feb 20
Oh ty where did it say that? I guess I missed it
dont dox urself 😭
Wait where am i doxxing myself
full name
That’s not my name btw, that’s the nyu fin aid official
oh
But prob should cover that
@rare sand but make sure you submit the css profile before the jan 15 deadline.
Yep alr did thanks
Hey everyone! I made a request to change my application information. I selected that I wanted to change my notification plan from regular decision to early decision 2. Now on my app, it has changed to early decision 2 however I never had to sign a binding agreement/contract. I want to be considered for a binding offer however am worried I just asked to get my results earlier 🥴 . Kind of just confused
email admissions office and ask
guys i need help with the self reported scores thing
so in my school
the overall gpa is calculated on a 100% sclae
but the subjects themselves are not
so for example math is out of 100 grades
and philosophy is out of 40
but when i'm adding my coursework they're automatically converting my grades to this scale
when i put this conversion scale i only meant it for the overall main gpa
bro why are they even asking me for this they can just look at the transcripts
is anyone in the same boat as me and didnt get their portal yet? i applied on the 10th and havent gotten it im starting to get a little concerned
that was 2 days ago bro, people were actually on time and got it a week+ after
I submitted before the deadline and received login information last night
If what u mean is that it’s 68.5 / 70 then put that into a calculator
And write down the percentage score instead
srar is such a pain in the ass Oml
I cant even
nyu needs 3 language credits right
Did NYU just change their regular decision deadline to the 15th?
Does this mean anything? For example, few people applied to NYU and they needed to push back the deadline to get more applicants?
potentially
This is really interesting considering NYU only has one supplement . . .
which is also creative by the way
money grab
i was doing the SRAR but i did not see my dual enrollment school in the drop down menu. Im not sure what to do. i sent an email out and i dont think they are going to get to it by the weekend, mondays a holiday and yeah
Ngl im glad i applied ed 2 to nyu with a bigger applicant pool for rd
anybody in the chat can tell us how important they hold the supplemental essay for NYU? It won't be a surprise to anybody if they're gaslighting us when they say that 'there's no penatly for not doing the supplemental essay' but are there actually people who've made it into EDI without it?
Just interested because I want to understand what's the importance they place on this new essay
is this sort of like the test-optional policy, where it's not a make or break if you have the item on your list, but that you'll be scrutinized on your other info a lot more?
No one knows for sure
cds says important
But the general consensus is that “optional” essays are never truly optional
To be fair, that’s essays in general
He’s talking about the supplemental
true
isn't that for previous years? that was a why NYU essay which may've held more importance?
yea definitely. also think that this can be applied for doing a specific number essays when only 1 is compuslory. Faced this dilemma for Duke, where you could do 3 supps but only one was required. Went on the safer side and did all 3
my bad forgot they changed their supp for this year
yea we won't really know what the official view of NYU is until they release their CDS later this year
but wanted to know from any peeps who got in through ED I
anyways, thanks guys!
im finished 💀
It’s absolutely important
It’s a competitive school. Optional never truly means optional if you genuinely want to be taken seriously.
It’s honestly most likely just an easy way for them to weed out unfit applicants in their first round of reviews.
Got it. Thanks for the succinct reply 🙌
Was my thought as well
