New York University (NYU) (2024-2025)

[plucky glacier]

oh well i might just do nyu cas

im too scared for stern

all the wharton rejects

[smoky smelt]

Do you reckon if I apply ED2 it will give me a better chance with a 40 and some decent arcs

ECs

[plucky glacier]

better chance than what

RD?

[smoky smelt]

Yeah

Full pay

[plucky glacier]

yeah for everything

ED 2 full pay always better chance than RD

[smoky smelt]

I’m just worried my top choice which deferred me will take me

[plucky glacier]

but also i lowk like ucla and ucb more than nyu

[plucky glacier]

same for my ucs

[smoky smelt]

I was too lazy to apply to the UCs

[plucky glacier]

they are more of my top choice

[plucky glacier]

yeah tis annoying the word count and stuff

[smoky smelt]

My top choice was Georgetown but now I’m deferred and I’m paranoid that if I don’t maximise my chances with NYU via ed2 I might just not get in anywhere good

[plucky glacier]

same same, i got rejected cornell ed but i like ucb and ucla more than nyu

but yeah if i get in ed 2 nyu then i cant even know if ucb or ucla will work

[smoky smelt]

I’m not a huge fan of NYU but I feel like NYC has better international internship opportunities than DC

[plucky glacier]

def

nyu has so manny opportunities

but like

no campus feel yk

[smoky smelt]

I already got into my safety of Fordham so I’m not completely out of luck if I don’t get in anywhere

[plucky glacier]

oo

[smoky smelt]

Ong which is a huge L but at the same time do you really need a campus when you’re literally in the city

[plucky glacier]

true true

[tidal fulcrum]

georgetown and nyu r two very diff schools. my bf goes to gtown and its very much a bubble from what im seeing, quite cliquey and not much diversity (maybe im just being too much a hater) but also gtown is v separated from dc

nyu is literally the city like youre IN greenwich

its much more diverse and bc of how big the school is u end up finding all sorts of people

i think if u want to do business or any art do ed2 to nyu, business at gtown according to my bf is not good (hes a gov major, if ur poli sci dont ed2 to nyu keep hope for gtown)

[dry charm]

im so late to the party but was there portal astrology this year

[tidal fulcrum]

no portal astrology talk but also portal astrology is not real this year

and probably never was

[smoky smelt]

hmmm ok I’ll keep hope then

[dry charm]

ah i see

well! good luck to those at nyu!

[pseudo marsh]

i actually got in with a 38 predicted and 36 actual

[smoky smelt]

omg congrats which school did you apply to

[sage whale]

Everything pointed to me getting rejected so its all bs

Dont sweat it

[final condor]

they fix bugs this year, and dont talk about this

[plucky glacier]

oo u did ib? did u apply test optional as well

[pseudo marsh]

i actually applied with my act score

cuz it was a pretty good one imo

but yeah i submitted my ib predicted grades bc that was my transcript, essentially

[plucky glacier]

ohh do you mind saying what ur act was

[pseudo marsh]

it was a 33 single-time score but i had a 35 super score as well

[plucky glacier]

i see

[sage whale]

should i put down the housing deposit rn

or is there any harm in waiting to do it later

[final condor]

same question here

[tidal fulcrum]

i put it down

[tidal fulcrum]

can someone who set up their nyu email help me

this is what i keep seeing

i got the email w/ instructions and everything

seems like i just gotta wait some more time ig

[shadow kestrel]

nah

[main violet]

i did it alr

the $1000 one right?

[tidal fulcrum]

ye

[signal lotus]

$1000 housing deposit💀💀💀

[tidal fulcrum]

its insane

[final condor]

rich

[scarlet lance]

hi thread im here for stern rd

[small dirge]

is 3.7 gpa doable for nyu?

[scarlet lance]

yes

[sage whale]

dang

ig il do it today

[wanton folio]

Yep

[tidal fulcrum]

yes

[small dirge]

im scared

😦

[final condor]

ed2？

[twilit magnet]

I’m scared too bro

Like

NYU has always been a fever dream I swear

[tidal fulcrum]

i had a 3.45 averrage freshman year, yet i made it. as long as u can show character grwoth and good essays youre set

[small dirge]

what major?

[small dirge]

yes !

[final condor]

glgl

[tidal fulcrum]

film

[twilit magnet]

Is it harder for fine art’s majors to get into NYU or CAS majors?

[shadow kestrel]

its 1.5k?

[outer dragon]

is it a bad idea to only send the 1 compulsory teacher recommendation?

i dont feel like any other recommendation adds value for my NYU application

[twilit magnet]

If it’s REALLY good then maybe , typically they like more than 1 I think

[pastel bane]

hi guys!
are there any internationals that got into and also got generous financial aid?

i heard that s quite rare from NYU, but id like to ED2, but im not sure considering their financial aid legacy for intl students

[half scarab]

hell no

only 5% internationals get aid at NYU with an average aid of 50k among the 5% so 💀

[pastel bane]

so if i apply for almost full financial aid, and, for the sake of the thought experiment, suppose im a perfect applicant (like a clear admit if i would not require financial aid), is it more probable that i get rejected, or accepted but given little finaid?

[half scarab]

former, most probably

[scarlet lance]

hi nyu here for rd stern

[pastel bane]

RIP

[tidal fulcrum]

no theyve made it really clear that sending 1 is perfectly acceptable and won’t hurt your application

[main violet]

yes

[jaunty parcel]

does anyone know anything about nyu's journalism school

and like how competitive it is

i'd like to ed2

[violet hinge]

hii does anyone know why nyu changed the deadline to 1/5? not complaining or anything lol

[small dirge]

they didv

?

[violet hinge]

yea it shows up as that for me on the common app

[smoky smelt]

Wasn’t it always that?

[violet hinge]

i think it was jan 1st before

[final condor]

damn

gl

[scarlet lance]

thx

[twilit magnet]

Really? I thought it was always Jan 5

[mossy sphinx]

chat how easy would it be to transfer from tandon to tisch? i wanted to go tisch game design but it requires 5 extra essays and its a lot more selective so I'm thinking of applying tandon idm instead (which fits my interests more anyway). ik its in brooklyn and isn't as good of a program so i'm wondering how easy it would be to transfer just in case i really don't like it at tandon

[plucky glacier]

ED 2 is Jan 1st, RD is Jan 5

maybe you changed from ed 2 to rd on ur app

[violet hinge]

oh oops i didnt realize they were on different dates

ty for letting me know lmao i thought ed2 and rd were due on jan 1 😭

[mossy socket]

tisch is not easy to transfer into

apply to the program you want. nyu is selective for every program, there’s no reason to go if you’re not interested in your major

[mossy sphinx]

well technically i am more interested in idm than game design, im just worried that the quality of the program wont be as good

do you have any opinions abt that?

[mossy socket]

nyu is such a renowned school that pretty much every major will help you get where you want. i would read the course requirements for each major and think about which ones you would rather take

[mossy sphinx]

alright, thank you sm

[balmy crest]

does nyu provide any fee waivers 😅

[final condor]

😂common app waivers work

[twilit magnet]

I love how colleges want us to pay a fee for schools we might not even get into, it’s aggravating

[balmy crest]

i dont qualify

i just wanna apply but ion wanna pay so much

[final condor]

😢

[half scarab]

imo if your ecs align with tandon you can try that

may work for tisch

[final condor]

cas to stern?

😂

[covert berry]

yall

should I apply to nyu as a low income student that needs a lot of aid

I’ve heard they’re given good aid but it’s super rare the case

I can pay like max 10k a year or sum

[final condor]

ed2 nyu????

😮

[covert berry]

nope

rd

[final condor]

they gimme free tuition

but it is expensive to pay housing

20k

[covert berry]

Dorms aren’t included in the tuition?

[covert berry]

this is amazing though

[final condor]

nah

😭😭

[half scarab]

hell no

[half scarab]

lol nah

[covert berry]

😭

I wish I were a rich nepo baby that got automatically admitted to nyu studying fashion or sum

[final condor]

😂😂

[main violet]

so sad

[final condor]

i do appreciate though

they accepted me

[regal stratus]

If you’re rejected from your first choice school, is it harder to get into the second choice than if you had just made that your first choice to begin with? They say you can be admitted to alternate options, so I’m wondering how my chances of getting into a second school would be affected if I got rejected from Stern as my first choice compared to if I prioritized that second choice

[tidal fulcrum]

idk if u can the film school doesnt do internal transfer. i say just rough it out for the game design ik its hard (im a film studnet) but its worth it if it pays off

[main violet]

have u guys set up ur nyu email

[final condor]

yes

😂

[slim anchor]

so true

[tidal fulcrum]

anyone got their welcome package?

[sinful ivy]

Nyuuuyy

[pastel bane]

guys, if i ED2 to NYU, until what date is it possible to retract my ED2 and make it an RD? (i mean before i get the decision of course, in case I get cold feet). or is that not possible?

[vocal dawn]

same question ^

[main violet]

naur not yet

[sinful ivy]

Idt there’s a set date

[torn surge]

um i think as soon as you submit the ed app it’ll be locked in

unless you have like special circumstances

regarding fin aid

only apply ed if you are 100% sure it's the school for you

if you're gonna get like commitment issues and consider other schools seriously then i dont think you should

because nyu is a specific school for a specific person

[jaunty parcel]

i was wondering the same thing

i applied ea to usc and hear back in jan

but nyu ed2 releases decision in feb i think?

so idk if it'll be possible to withdraw the application on the off chance that i do get usc which would be amazing

[pseudo marsh]

well the thing is ... if u wanted smth over nyu then you shouldnt have been doing ed for it 😭

idk how else to explain this. it's just how the system works

[tidal fulcrum]

ed to nyu = if u get in u MUST go AND withdraw all other applications

hence, only ed to nyu if you would choose it over ANY and EVRRY college

i applied ed knowing id choose nyu even if i got into usc, yale, brown, nu, and my other top choices

u should have that level of commitment if youre entering a financial binding commitment worth almost half a million

[pseudo marsh]

i did mine going all or nothing + did consider withdrawing but purely only on financial grounds

that's literally the only ethically responsible or acceptable reason for you to withdraw

[tidal fulcrum]

its gotten on my nerves how many ppl tru to wiggle their way out of ed

[glacial wave]

wiggle

[pseudo marsh]

like it's there for you to commit

bruh

[tidal fulcrum]

a dad at an nyu info session asked if they could deny ed to nyu if they didnt get a merit scholarship..

[pseudo marsh]

like sorry but dpmo

stop taking opportunities away from ppl who actually play by the rules

and want to get in more than you do apparently

[tidal fulcrum]

im glad commonapp makes it so u can only ed to one school per round

its also frustrating how ppl dont realize breaking ed contract = messing up the chances of the kids after u

[mossy socket]

i mean that is generally how it’s supposed to be done lol

but yeah i feel like a lot of people just see ED as an easier path to admission and not a binding practice that you should only partake in if you know 100% you can afford the school you’re EDing to and you’re 100% sure you want to go there above anything else

finding out your admissions decision a few months early is never that deep

[wide scarab]

What is stern ed2 acceptance rate anyone?

[sage whale]

they dont really release that info

[final condor]

still waiting for

[wide scarab]

For those who got into stern — what does they look for?

[mossy socket]

this is how nyu weighs each aspect of your app

[mossy socket]

schools don’t really release acceptance rates for individual schools

[wide scarab]

?

[wide scarab]

What about Stern

[mossy socket]

that information isn’t released

the deadline is in about a week, it’s not like you could change your entire app to revolve around what they look for anyway lol

[sage whale]

we get a welcome package?

whats in it?

[long onyx]

chat

I'm doing ed2 to NYU

will i get in

[final condor]

physical acceptance letter and a sticker

[final condor]

yes

[shadow kestrel]

no because everyone is doing that now

[fleet fog]

If i apply regular (I havent applied yet) will there still be possibility of merit scholarship (im an international student)

[tidal fulcrum]

nyu has barely any merit scholarships so probably not

[main violet]

most likely no, it’s incredibly rare chance to get a merit scholarship from nyu but they do have them

[small dirge]

are there difference between ed II and rd ? in terms of chances

because like they alr kinda know that nyu wasnt my first choice

if i ed II

[tidal fulcrum]

thats not true ik someone whose first choice was nyu but couldnt finish the app in time for ed1 (film app is so long) so they did ed2

[final condor]

ed2 generally has a greater chance

[sage whale]

Ed in general has better chance

[long onyx]

really?

my stats are average

[shadow kestrel]

u need smth that stands out, nyu doesn't care about grades that much tbh

[regal stratus]

How long do they take to send the applicant portal login? Ik it might be down for Christmas break, but I’ve submitted 2 applications since I submitted NYU on Saturday and they both sent emails on setting up the applicant portal already

I can’t submit the SRAR without my portal login

[plucky glacier]

should be soon, i also submitted nyu on saturday and i only got like two emails from them about the ED acknowledgment

on sunday they said i will get the portal in 'a few days'

[rain pollen]

Hi! Anyone appliying to studio arts /fine arts program?

[half scarab]

i would

but im poor international

[rain pollen]

Same, im applying to financial aid tho

[torn surge]

oh my god

two kids from my high school in the 2023/2027 application cycle got accepted and then withdrew their ed from nyu because of "financial aid" reasons, but apparently that was just bs and they got into diff schools they wanted to go to more

and for like 7 months our school was really scared we'd get like blacklisted

because 2 years ago some other kids got in ed and didn't go to santa clara university in cali and scu sent a really angry email and told us it would affect our high school's future admissions

[torn surge]

so....please don't ed if you don't absolutely want to live and breathe all things nyu 🗿

[tidal fulcrum]

me core

living breathing nyu

[twilit magnet]

This

Personally, I can’t even really afford my ED2 school…but I truly do wanna go there above anything else and am willing to get pellet grants or any loans (even do some jobs or be a RA to get a free dorm and meal plan)

[mossy socket]

pell grants are not optional

they’re for people with very high financial need

[twilit magnet]

So you can only get a Pell grant depending on your income?

What’s the income needed to qualify

[woeful olive]

Hey wondering if you guys could help me out. Basically, I'm a QB finalist that did not match on December 2. I transferred my application to Columbia ED and was rejected. Yesterday I got rejected from Tulane EA as well, no deferrals at all. I'm thinking to apply to NYU ED2 because I think I'll have a good chance of getting in going that route and I also like NYU. But my dream school is Yale and want to stay in the game till March but at this point I think that needs a miracle. So should I just forget about the Ivy League, do NYU ED2 and have a better chance of getting into a school I'm fine with going to or should I wait it out and do RD for NYU possibly decreasing my chance of accceptance to NYU and also having little chance of getting into Yale. I'm just trying to be realistic here. Thank you!

[final condor]

u gotta sure u would be happy if u take 4 years of ur life in NYU

otherwise, go for ur dream

[mossy socket]

yes

[mossy socket]

its very low

https://fsapartners.ed.gov/sites/default/files/2023-05/202425DRAFTSAIGuideSupplementEligibilityforMaxorMinPellGrantResource.pdf

also pell grants aren’t large amounts of money, the max is about $7400

[tidal fulcrum]

what major do u wanna do? yale and nyu are incredibly diff schools, one has a gorgeous gothic campus that is very defined while the other is just scattered around nyc. if u want the academic prestige and quality of yale, stick it out, if u want the opportunities of the city and the practical learning, go with nyu.

also depends on ur program, yale was my “dream” school when i was younger and a part of me still loves it, but i chose not to rea bc im well aware yale cant even compare to nyu’s film program and i’d be miserable sitting in film theory lectures all day and confined to new haven

[final condor]

did nyu has a co-op program?

[worthy surge]

Anyone applied to game design?

I can't find the short answer essays' word limit for the sake of god lmao

[mossy socket]

why did none of you vote

tsk tsk

[pastel bane]

guys, for the nyu supplemental, did you include "why us" stuff?

[final condor]

wait is nyu supplemental essay about Bridge Builder?????

@pastel bane

[pastel bane]

yes

that one

[pastel bane]

did u include info about NYU?

[final condor]

nah

maybe u should tell about nyu in future part

😏

[pastel bane]

which future part???

[final condor]

answer all questions as possible as u can

[pastel bane]

oh yeah, that's what i was asking. did you talk about that part? did u mention specific NYU labs / groups where you see urself continuing ur path or smth?

like especially if i have 2 campus prefferences, it's kinda odd to only include stuff from one, so it has to be kinda generic, right>

?

[tidal fulcrum]

yes i did

it was very brief tho

[pastel bane]

ohh aight

thanks!

also do you think it is possible to get in without ED2 into NYU atp ? ☠️

[final condor]

which school u apply to?

Stern-extremely hard

💀like top 10-15 level

[pure thistle]

I applied IDM which is kinda similar

[small dirge]

thoughts on sps

??

[pastel bane]

uhhh i was thinking of applying for AD because im international and i know they dont really give finaid so..

if not, tandon

[final condor]

not that bad to get in

[final condor]

AD idk😢

Shanghai is decent btw

[small dirge]

i heard sps has their own app though

:sob

im scared that like

sps might seen as less prestigious

[final condor]

no Portal Astrology this year

😏

i dont really know about retract since it is my dream school

so i dont feel regarded on applying it.

[cold cove]

i got into nyu and contemplating what i want to study

trying to decide between neuroscience and bio/biomed

any recommendations?

i wannna go into medicine hopefully surgery

[regal stratus]

Does anyone else’s applicant portal say “Awaiting FAFSA” even though their FAFSA was already processed? I don’t know if this is an NYU-specific issue or not

[final condor]

email them??

after the break btw

[regal stratus]

Does urs say that

If you’ve submitted FAFSA and common app

[final condor]

i just finished my FAFSA application😭

my badddddd

[regal stratus]

I think it’s a fafsa issue actually

[mossy socket]

FAFSA processing and individual schools’ processing of it follow different timelines

schools don’t get your FAFSA data until the department of education finished processing it

it’s not an issue with anything, it’s just the way aid is done

[rain pollen]

Is anyone appliying for visual arts in NYU??

Like fine arts, how did the process go?

[viral blaze]

I am 🗿

[small dirge]

is transferring to econ easy

like cas

from sps

[raven flint]

can someone check my NYU essay, idk I just want someone else to check if I answered the prompt well enough

please

[outer dragon]

does nyu normally take a long time to send a confirmation email with the NYU ID after app submissoin?

[regal stratus]

Yeah

[mossy socket]

i didn’t apply to fine arts specifically but i did apply to tisch last year, we also have a channel specifically for fine arts programs if you have non-nyu questions!! #1268945015556538439

[final condor]

@aedrux yeah

like 3 days-one week

but better than uc system at least

[final condor]

dm me

[torn surge]

How to answer nyu prompt when I never been a bridgebuilder

[austere briar]

how do i put two year programs on srar

[worthy surge]

Hey yall does nyu take any recommendation letters past the deadline?

[jaunty osprey]

is nyu tuition worth it

[viral blaze]

@rain pollen did u write a statement of interest for portfolio

Idk if mine is good

[final condor]

dont make urself like that

😐

[rain pollen]

Im editing my personal essay and finishing my portafolio

[viral blaze]

O wait that's what it's called

[final condor]

if u can't pay the cost, i don't think nyu is a good option

[viral blaze]

What good qualities of nyu r there for art 💀

I feel like I put the most generic shit ever

[viral blaze]

Dw just seeing if I get in first 😀

[final condor]

i mean, if u can't pay the cost, just dont apply ed2😭

rd is not a bad option

[viral blaze]

I'm doing rd

[final condor]

NYU is hell expensive

😭

[viral blaze]

Ima to Tufts ed2

[rain pollen]

Uhmm im also triying to search up, Maybe the faculty and specific courses?

Im guessing your talking about the "building bridge" supplemental essay?

[viral blaze]

No not that one

For the portfolio

[final condor]

glgl

[viral blaze]

Portfolio Submission Details
Your portfolio must include:
12-15 images of recent artworks done in any medium. Each image must contain the work’s title, year completed, medium and size (ex. Self Portrait, 2018, Oil on Canvas, 11”x14”). You have the option to include videos in your portfolio. Videos can be a compilation of various works, but the total runtime cannot exceed five minutes.
For first-year applicants, a one-page “Statement of Purpose” describing:
Your reasons for applying to an interdisciplinary studio art program.
Your personal and/or academic background in art.
The influences, experiences, common themes, and interests that have impacted your art practice.

[rain pollen]

Oh, Well they normally want to see how is your art technique, what you can draw

[viral blaze]

the statement of purpose

should i include like one paragraph of why im applying to nyu

i kinda dont want to

but if i should then yea

also does one page mean double or single spaced

[final condor]

i think yes, my friend submitted recommendation letter after 3 days deadline.

u should email them

🤔

[viral blaze]

Someone pls 😭

[rain pollen]

Artist statement and the building bridge essays are different things I think

In your artist statement, you should do it for each individual piece you submit in your portafolio

[viral blaze]

Yea I'm talking about the statement of purpose, not the community essay

[rain pollen]

Somehow telling your intention, inspiration behind it and some of the process

[rain pollen]

Cna you send a screenshot of the prompt?

[viral blaze]

Wait no not even for the pieces

[rain pollen]

You mean the common app essay?

[viral blaze]

This

No not commonapp

[rain pollen]

Oh, Just submit your portafolio and dont forget to add your artist statements for each piece. Normally, as far as I know, NYU doesnt ask you for a statement? They Just want to see your art skills and how you manage yo create original pieces

[viral blaze]

Alr I'm just gonna submit my commonapp and hopefully their portfolio details are on their portal

[rain pollen]

Oh wait I found it

Can I send it to you on private? I dont think this allows me to send pics lol

[viral blaze]

alr

[worthy surge]

Oh tyty

[worthy surge]

Wait

For us game design applicant

Do we do that + the short answer questions + the examples of our game work?

So much damn work

[rain pollen]

well ,as long as i know for fine art you have to like '' artwork-little background information/artist statement'' and before a little statement of purpose of why you want to study at nyu , your art influences etc '

apart from that there is the nyu essay on the common app about ''building bridges''

[austere briar]

how do i put two year programs on srar
please anyone

[austere briar]

this is actually insane to say bro 😭

so many people use aid every year

[final condor]

[twilit magnet]

Is ED2 for NYU only due on Jan 1 or is RD also due on Jan 1

[gloomy plinth]

doesnt the website say help

[tidal fulcrum]

rd due jan 5th

[worthy surge]

Ohhh yup i looked into the requirements

Game design is very demanding lmao

I applied ed2 yesterday, how long do they usually take to send me the Slate link?

[pastel bane]

hello, is there anyone who ED2'ed to NYU and has to portal? could you please tell me if there is a button there which allows to move your ED2 application to the RD pool, in case i change my mind in the following days? (before decisions come out of course, because it is binding)

[tidal fulcrum]

slideroom?

u can access the slideroom without submitting the commonapp

[worthy surge]

They say we upload the supplements through slate

Hm

[final condor]

[plucky glacier]

those doing ib dp, how on earth do u do the SRAR

there is like no conversion

[viral blaze]

Y can't they just take our fucking transcript

[plucky glacier]

exactly bro

there is literally no right conversion

everyones conversions will be different

[plucky glacier]

what is this supposed to mean?

i cant find any agreement via common app

[twilit magnet]

It should be under recommends

*recommenders

[plucky glacier]

isnt that the counselor ED agreement

[twilit magnet]

Yep

There’s also one for parents too

[plucky glacier]

oh but i already did that

[twilit magnet]

Then you’re good, did you also get the counselor one?

[plucky glacier]

they sent the email after i submitted parent ed

[twilit magnet]

That’s weird

[plucky glacier]

oh my counselor one only shows 'Started'

maybe thats why

[twilit magnet]

That’s probably why

Maybe let your counselor know about that

[plucky glacier]

i just got an email from my counselor cuz i was asking about the srar she said "You can submit the SRAR while waiting for Ms Zhao to submit your school document. Have you already completed the ED2 document?"

im assuming she is refering 'the ED2 document' to the parent agrement?

[twilit magnet]

Probably cause there isn’t one that the student needs to submit

[plucky glacier]

ok

[covert berry]

guys

can any nyu admitted student read over my essay rq

[final condor]

💪

[final condor]

dm me

[covert berry]

OMG

thats so cute

[austere briar]

chat how do i fill 2-year courses on the nyu srar

if i get ghosted on this one more time i WILL crash out

i think the number of times i've asked this is in double digits now

[final condor]

bro ur transcript is damn specific lmao

[austere briar]

AAAAAAAAAA

[austere briar]

i gave external exams after two years of schooling as my finals, that's the normal system where i am

[tidal fulcrum]

okay r u igcse?

[austere briar]

yep

[tidal fulcrum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxtbOpfoLFY

lmk if this helps if it doesnt ill take a look at the srar myself

[austere briar]

i did this but do i make the same entries twice for 9th grade and 10th grade?

[tidal fulcrum]

yes! u get the same grade right?

[austere briar]

well, i study for the exam throughout both 9th and 10th grade so ig so? my school does conduct internal finals for 9th grade but the actual igcses are in 10th

[tidal fulcrum]

omg ok

see i was in the igcse progrwm for like 2 weeks

[long onyx]

HELLO NYU

[tidal fulcrum]

so

[austere briar]

oh 😭

yeah it's an exam you give after studying two years

[long onyx]

am i allowed to convert my rd to ed2 after submitting rd to nyu after the ed2 due date?

[tidal fulcrum]

hmm this may be personal but if ur ok dming me ur transcript i can see if theres anything needed?

[long onyx]

please someone

[tidal fulcrum]

uh no

id ont think so

[long onyx]

if i mail them

[tidal fulcrum]

bc u have to sign the ed agreement

[long onyx]

the ed2 agreement

[tidal fulcrum]

hmm

[long onyx]

yeah il sign and mail

[tidal fulcrum]

tbh idk 😭

why would u wanna do tuat?

[long onyx]

im in a complicated scenario

can i dm

[austere briar]

uhh i can just tell you what it is

[tidal fulcrum]

sure

[tidal fulcrum]

yed

tbh i should become a college counselor this shi my part time job LMFAO

[scarlet lance]

It’s really easy

I have a transcript and SRAR to show why I did an strange order

[long onyx]

lmao

[austere briar]

in 10th, 11th and 12th grade, i have grades based on exams that were mailed in by cambridge and then mailed back to cambridge to be checked (and thus official cambridge transcripts)
and in 9th grade our school does its own finals, but those are just half of the 10th grade syllabus and are designed and graded by the school because we're supposed to spend 9th and 10th grade studying for the 10th grade finals

[austere briar]

explain

[scarlet lance]

Just complete it how you see fit

If you completed something a month ago but it’s a 10th grade course it goes into tenth

Unless your school has a certain system, mines unusual in the sense there are no grades just courses with complete dates

[austere briar]

so do i just leave 9th grade blank then

[scarlet lance]

Definitely no

What did you complete in 9th

What school at nyu are you applying to btw? Engineering

[austere briar]

thats what im saying, i did a two-year program starting in 9th and ending in 10th

[austere briar]

tandon

engineering

[scarlet lance]

Ohhh I see

So is it combined

[austere briar]

the final exams were external, kinda like AP

[scarlet lance]

So are those grades combined?

[austere briar]

wdym

it's just the test

that's the grade

you do well on the final you get a good grade

[scarlet lance]

You have no completed for 9th but 10th you have 9/10 together

Because it’s a two year thing

[austere briar]

kind of yes

idk exactly how to put it

[scarlet lance]

I would put them for 9th and 10th

[austere briar]

cause my school conducted finals in 9th grade but those were mocks more than anything else

[austere briar]

like just write the exact same stuff in 9th and 10th?

[scarlet lance]

I would put the two year listed in 9 and 10 and then maybe no credit for 9

And full credit you received for 10 for both the years

[scarlet lance]

Yes

And have 0 for credit for 9 but 1.0 or whatever the credit is for 10

They’ll understand

[tidal fulcrum]

r the 9th grade final exams on your transcript?

[austere briar]

yes but the srar specifically says not to enter any internal grades and to put down my external exam grades

[tidal fulcrum]

huh

[austere briar]

two years is two credits right?

[austere briar]

all of this is fine

I just don't know what to do for 9th grade

[tidal fulcrum]

hmmm

maybe just leave it blank..? and email nyu asking for help

the srar needs to be finalized 15 days adter the deadline usually

[austere briar]

it's due jan 15th

[tidal fulcrum]

yeah nyu office opens before that

just email them!

they can def help u

theyre rly helpful

[austere briar]

bet

[pure thistle]

I have a slot space on my laptop just for college stickers

I'm actually so excited to put it on lol

[final condor]

ahha

[austere briar]

I have no stickers on my laptop lol

[pure thistle]

If you email them there's a decent chance

[austere briar]

I'm probably gonna get a new one when I head to college though

I'll slap plenty of stickers on there

[pure thistle]

Yes you better lol

College laptop stickers are the dream for me LOL

idk I mentally associated that with the idea of success x_x

[scarlet lance]

You should double check

[final condor]

is that weird if I put multiple college stickers

😐

[pure thistle]

Only if it's from multiple schools

But even in that case it doesn't matter what other people say

Just do whatever makes you happy

Screw everyone else lol

[long onyx]

okay thats good then

[final condor]

u r right bro

[long onyx]

il try

[austere briar]

imo it's only weird if ur going to one college and have another college's sticker on ur laptop

like if ur going to stanford and have mit stickers

[final condor]

🤔🤔

[austere briar]

(unless it isn't your first degree in which case having stickers of the colleges you did your previous degrees from is cool)

[austere briar]

but that's just my take

[final condor]

tysm

[pure thistle]

Yeah

As a prospective student it's not weird

[austere briar]

yea ofc

but after committing

[pure thistle]

I mean slightly weird if it's covered with a crazy amount of random college stickers but not bad

[austere briar]

ehhh

[pure thistle]

Yeah after committing I would say it's kinda weird

I have a brown sticker on my laptop cause I got accepted to the summer program (but didn't end up attending lol) and it'll be replaced with whatever college I commit to

[austere briar]

if i saw someone with those stickers and decided to overanalyze it i would probably come to the conclusion they got rejected from their dream and are settling wherever they're at

[austere briar]

oof

[pure thistle]

Yeah same

Overall do what you about though, no one really cares all that much 🤷‍♀️

I have a classmate who used to wear a different college sweatshirt literally everyday

It was insane

But no one cared

So yeah do what you want

[austere briar]

yeah i'm just commenting on what i would think if i was asked to make conclusions based on seeing that

really i wouldn't give a shit

[austere briar]

LOL

[pure thistle]

Yeah def

[pure thistle]

And then there's me who refuses to have any college merch x_x

[austere briar]

Same LOL

[pure thistle]

I have shirts from the Duke summer program though x_x

[pure thistle]

Gotta get rid of those now that I've been rejected x_x

But yeah other than that no college merch allowed

Unless they're stickers that are in no one associated with the college

[austere briar]

I have a bit of UT Austin merch from over a year and a half ago lol

[pure thistle]

I got a bunch of really cute stickers from SCAD that just look like normal stickers soooo they're all over my laptop

[austere briar]

A quarter zip jacket and a baseball cap

I got it on a campus tour

I think that's all the merch I have

[pure thistle]

Ooh fancy tour lol

[austere briar]

no as in i bought it lol

[pure thistle]

Someone gifted my brother a Cornell teddy bear but I have no idea where it is now

[pure thistle]

Ah nvm

[austere briar]

oh wait my sister has a harvard teddy bear

from the 10-week summer program

she ended up going to emory

[pure thistle]

Wait I have the silliest picture hold on

[austere briar]

bet

[pure thistle]

My brother's outfit on his way to a UPenn tour lol

Honestly I think it would be so funny if someone decided to roll up to a college tour wearing 100% merch from different colleges

Wouldn't be surprised if someone's done that before lol

[pastel bane]

does NYU allow sending research paper as supplemental material?

[worthy surge]

Yall if theres any game design applicants plz hmu

[tidal fulcrum]

ill go on a columbia tour in april decked out in nyu merch

[pure thistle]

YES do it and tell us the results

And go overboard with the merch lol

Like wear 100% merch with stickers on your phone case and everything

[mossy socket]

they don’t really care lol

nyu and columbia are two very different schools

unless you show up wearing a massive rival’s merch like harvard v yale or usc v ucla they’re not gonna bat an eye

[austere briar]

Can I leave this blank on SRAR

[mossy socket]

no

[austere briar]

bruh

[mossy socket]

you have to tell them your school counselor’s info

[austere briar]

my school counselor is lowkey an opp

jk

[mossy socket]

well they have your academic records so you need them to verify your info

[austere briar]

ok

thats annoyign

[mossy socket]

you literally just put in their name/email address lmfao

it’s not a big deal

[austere briar]

yea but as i said my counselors lowkey an opp

[austere briar]

ik

ig i'll just do it rn

[austere briar]

theres not enough room for the country code in the phone number spot 💀

[mossy socket]

then just put in the regular number

[austere briar]

how are they gonna know to call an india number though

[mossy socket]

nyu has no shortage of international applicants

it’s fine

[austere briar]

true

[austere briar]

alr

[austere briar]

i entered it and it's showing up with the first 3 numbers in brackets like a US number

how do i enter an exam that's on my transcript as no result because i missed the final on the srar

[worthy surge]

How long does nyu usually take to send the student portal?

[worthy surge]

They said my test scores need updating but the page didn’t include them, i only had my first name wrong (lmfao) and updated it, is that it?

[pure thistle]

I dare someone to do that

[bleak mesa]

guys is the srar due later than the common app deadline? because i submitted my application a few days ago and havent received my portal information yet so im worried itll pass 😭

[pure thistle]

Yeah it's due later

Dw

[bleak mesa]

okay cool thanks :D

[novel hill]

did i do this right

im confused

should i select a bunch or a small amount

[pure thistle]

Select whatever you're interested in but don't go overboard lol

[twilit magnet]

I just selected stuff I was interested in, usually they are able to give you your first pick anyway I think

[elfin light]

when this is like this does this mean i have to submit three ap exams

[queen timber]

No

If you want to submit test scores but don’t want to submit ACT or SAT scores you can submit AP scores instead

They’re test optional so you could just do neither

[final condor]

what's different between tandon cs and cas cs?

[elfin light]

so can i submit more or less than three?

and do they all have to be a variety

[final condor]

Happy New Year, NYU applicants

👀

[worthy surge]

I submitted my app 3 days ago and didn't receive my portal as well

The thing is the creative portfolio is submitted through there and they said they won't accept late portfolios

What should I do? Should I email them?

[final condor]

srar is due later dwdw

[final condor]

yeah u should

NYU is not that strict

[worthy surge]

Alr I'll go ahead and do so ty

Should i email the general admissions or game center specifically

[final condor]

admission office plz

😏

[red cloud]

do y'all think it's worth to send sat score in 1400-1490 range for nyu

[final condor]

send if ur higher than 1470+

test optional doesn't hurt ur chance

at least for nyu

💪

[worthy surge]

So good to know 🔥

[final condor]

I CAN GIVE FEEDBACK FOR UR ESSAY IF U WANT

:p

[worthy surge]

ACTUALLY I WOULD LOVE SO

[final condor]

DM ME

[worthy surge]

CAN I DROP U MY GAME DESIGN ESSAYS

[final condor]

i

[worthy surge]

Or “sHoRt” answer questions so they aren’t really structured as essays

[worthy surge]

YEAHHA TYSMMM

[austere briar]

on the srar how do i enter an exam that shows up on my transcript as 'no result' because i missed the final

[worthy surge]

Hey mind me asking how long they took to send you the portal?

[austere briar]

4 days iirc

[worthy surge]

Ah dang it

I submitted 3 days ago and they require the creative portfolio through the portal

And no past deadline portfolios

[final condor]

i believe srar shares with many colleges

[austere briar]

Yes

[austere briar]

they should probably be able to accept it unless there was a separate deadline for portfolios specified anywhere

[worthy surge]

There isnt one unfortunately

Its january 1st same as the application

[austere briar]

Send them an email explaining the situation, and submit the portfolio anyways as soon as you get the portal

Did it say anywhere that you need to apply early (not ED, just earlier than the deadline) in order for the portfolio to be considered

[worthy surge]

I sent them an email went like im applying sent my app 3 days ago didnt get anything

[austere briar]

Yeah cause they're on holiday

[worthy surge]

They said apply a couple days earlier

I applied 3 days ago

[worthy surge]

Yeah i assumed

[austere briar]

Where did it say that

[worthy surge]

Lemme find it

[austere briar]

@worthy surge What's ur timezone

[worthy surge]

GMT+3

[austere briar]

Oof

Gulf?

[worthy surge]

Nope

Middle east

[austere briar]

the gulf is part of the middle east i think

[worthy surge]

Nah not the gulf

Syria

[austere briar]

ah

[austere briar]

send me an ss of this communication

[worthy surge]

Its listed in the game center website, looking for it rn

[austere briar]

Looks like the Slate portal might be different from the regular NYU application portal

Check if you've got that yet

[worthy surge]

I didnt

[austere briar]

@worthy surge Did you submit monday

[worthy surge]

Yes

[austere briar]

Well

idk if winter break counts as business days

[worthy surge]

Welp

[worthy surge]

Oh good point

[austere briar]

even then, send them an email saying it's been 3 business days and you didn't get slate @worthy surge

it's worth a try

also today is the second business day so

maybe you'll get it today

[worthy surge]

I sent it and received that

[worthy surge]

I hope so

[austere briar]

that's the auto response

[worthy surge]

Yup i figured

[austere briar]

@worthy surge send me an ss of the email you sent

[worthy surge]

Alright lemme

[final condor]

[novel hill]

When you ed2, and get your decision back, say you get accepted, when do you have to confirm that decision?

[scarlet lance]

is stern really a 5% admit rate

[tidal fulcrum]

they seem to have been very clear about their expectations when it comes to portfolio and timing unfortunately

[worthy surge]

But it really is nothing in my control

Even if i submitted 10 days ago, the office’s been closed since the 20th

[tidal fulcrum]

“Unfortunately,
we are not able to accept late portfolios or applications. Applicants
should ensure that they receive their portfolio link in time.”

the slate email is automated

[worthy surge]

They claim it’d be sent within 1-2 days but that’s not the case for holidays

[tidal fulcrum]

no one is sending u it manually

it gets sent after the system processes your app

[worthy surge]

Well i still applied on time

3 days ago

[tidal fulcrum]

if it doesnt come today then your best bet is trying to switch your app to rd

[worthy surge]

Oh my goodness

Ah im so frustrated

[tidal fulcrum]

i’m so sorry this is incredibly frustrating

i hope you get it today

have you pre prepped all the materials?

[worthy surge]

Hopefully, it’s 10:32 pm in my timezone so

[worthy surge]

Yeah

[tidal fulcrum]

okay

[worthy surge]

I would literally take 20 mins to fill and submit

[tidal fulcrum]

take photos of everything with the time stamp on your computer

so you have proof you have all the materials

[worthy surge]

Stamp as in?

[tidal fulcrum]

like

yk how on your computer in the bottom right it says the time and date

at least for windows

[worthy surge]

Ohhh yes yes

[tidal fulcrum]

yes

just take a photo with your phone

[worthy surge]

I’ll do so

[tidal fulcrum]

with all the materials

u got this

[worthy surge]

I hope i do tbh worked really hard for this lol

[tidal fulcrum]

also, the film portfolio was due at 11:59 PM EST no matter the tme zone

so hopefully slate works the sane and u have the rest of the day

[worthy surge]

Dang it i have about an hour and a half left

[tidal fulcrum]

^

[worthy surge]

OH EST

Mb didnt notice

[tidal fulcrum]

if its due at EST across all time zones you have 9 and a half hours left

[worthy surge]

Oh i hope man

[tidal fulcrum]

idk if it is but the film portfolio was

[worthy surge]

Btw, genuinely thank you so much

[tidal fulcrum]

bruh this is so fcuking stupid if u ask me they should be using slideroom for game design they use it for film and other stuff

[worthy surge]

I couldnt agree more

[tidal fulcrum]

im so sorry man i couldnt imagine how much stress your in

youve prob alr done this but have u checked ur spam and junk?

[worthy surge]

Yeahhh tbh nyu is the only school i was excited to ed to

[worthy surge]

Yep i have

[tidal fulcrum]

praying it comes today

[worthy surge]

Exactly TT

Youre amazing lol

[tidal fulcrum]

get the documentation that u have it done already and just hope and pray it HAS to come by jan 5 tho so worst case scenario u can rd whjch sucks but better than not getting a shot

[worthy surge]

Yes i definitely agree

[tidal fulcrum]

one last thing i may be wrong tho

[worthy surge]

But ig there goes my ed chances TTT

[tidal fulcrum]

on my nyu applicant poetal for ed 1 it said the portfolio due date was nov 8 even though it was due nov 1 and thats what it said everywhere. i think it takes time for them to process it from a third party source so im unsure if the due date of nov 8 was just buffer time because slideroom had a huge counter counting down the seconds to nov 1… idk

[worthy surge]

:o

Bruh they have horrible portfolio management 😭

[tidal fulcrum]

this whole process is confusing and weird

[worthy surge]

It issss

Im high on cortisol rn

[tidal fulcrum]

i also anxiously emailed them but it was just the checklist not updating

girl was done w me

[worthy surge]

LMAAAO

nyu is so lucky to have u genuinely

[worthy surge]

Welpp did not get the slate link

[final condor]

rd yes

😭

stern is top 10-15 level

@worthy surge dw, NYU is not that restricted to the applicants

😭

they dont even update my fafsa yet

😹

[twilit magnet]

How good is pre med at NYU

I’ve heard mixed stuff

[tidal fulcrum]

same

[elfin hull]

if i submitted my application tonight when would I get the portal to check if all my stuff is received?

also since I did ed2 if they don’t get my transcript on time would they counted as rd?

[final condor]

generally not, my friend did ed1 sending the transcript late

you may need to tell admission office

[final condor]

like 2-3 days? idk

😏

[elfin hull]

okk I decided to do ed2 last minute so I’m all over the place rn

[final condor]

dwdw

[elfin hull]

I was gonna do rd but decided not to

[tidal fulcrum]

omg

[final condor]

just email them tomorrow

[tidal fulcrum]

good luck bestie

[elfin hull]

alrr so until maybe Friday? Or next week

[final condor]

lemme check my portal date

[tidal fulcrum]

in like 2-3 days

[final condor]

gimme a second

[elfin hull]

thank uu 😭😭

[final condor]

yeah 2 days for mine

do u have college counselor or any like it? Ask them to send transcript first.

[elfin hull]

okk that’s not a lot I can wait btw did u guys have hard time doing the css profile

[final condor]

*and recommendation letters too

[elfin hull]

I have a pdf of my transcript so I’m good

[final condor]

yeah dw

😏

[viral blaze]

i dont think nyu gave me any info for the application portal yet

[outer dragon]

i got my netid in my css confirmation mail from nyu, but no password

am i supposed to set it up myself somehow?

[final condor]

@outer dragon

https://start.nyu.edu/pwm/public/

[outer dragon]

the activation asks for the uni ID

[final condor]

wtf

[worthy surge]

I realllyyyy hope so

Ig the office isnt open yet

Hoping they respond to me

[austere briar]

No Slate yet??

[worthy surge]

No unfortunately

[austere briar]

Weird

[worthy surge]

It really is

[austere briar]

All Winter days except 25th and 1st are supposed to be business days

(And except weekends)

[worthy surge]

Slate is automatic i think

[austere briar]

cause you don't get a winter vacation when you have a job

[austere briar]

That too

It's Thursday today Ithink

[worthy surge]

It is

They said they’ll be in office at 9:00 am est

Which is in 2 hours and 40 mins

I hope its some kinda technical issue and they do give me the slate info

[austere briar]

I wouldn't count on an immediate email

[worthy surge]

Yeah ofc

[final condor]

i am still waiting for them to process fafsa

[austere briar]

did you not see the notice

[balmy oxide]

oops haha yes thabk u

[final condor]

what?

😱

[austere briar]

fafsa wont show up as processed until like feb due to department of education delay

or something like that

i saw the same notice on a bunch of other colleges and i think nyu too

focus on making sure everything else is processed @final condor

and that fafsa is submitted from your end

[final condor]

dman

tysm man

😭

[twilit magnet]

What did you guys write for your supplemental? I’m a bit stuck lol

[final condor]

i can share my essay

[tidal fulcrum]

[novel hill]

the early decision deadline for css says this

but thats for ed1

do i still keep it on early decision in css profile

if im doing ed2

[outer dragon]

yeah thats what i did and it was fine

i received a confirmation from them a few days later as well

[shadow kestrel]

Anyone know if you can choose specific housing dorms, like the newer versions built recently

[tidal fulcrum]

u rank them in april and u have to write an essay to get into the newest one

its 100 words real chill

[shadow kestrel]

What actually?

[austere briar]

no way ☠️ deadass??

[ripe night]

I was gonna call but they're closed until the 22nd wtf

[tidal fulcrum]

yeah

[tidal fulcrum]

mhm

[red cloud]

wait is nyu self report sat score?

[tidal fulcrum]

i self reported

[balmy crest]

ya i called too

but they closed

sm on reddit said to click that covid-19 impacted me but idk

[mossy socket]

it’s bc the school is on winter break until then

[bleak mesa]

hey guys i have a question

if i applied edii stern bte and selected that i also want to be considered for the regular bs degree

if they dont take me for bte since its more competitive

is it more likely that ill just be thrown into the regular pool
