New York University (NYU) (2024-2025)

[wise pond]

9 guys in the roster

[whole pivot]

ITS NOT 9

ITS 3

CUZ II JUST BENCHED RZ

[wise pond]

you say that

but hes your star player

on the bench temp from injury

[whole pivot]

shhh

[mossy socket]

lets not please

[tidal fulcrum]

sorry 😭

[primal sierra]

am i cooked

[final marten]

lol im prolly committed to marshall and even i dont think that

debatable take ngl 😭

[mossy socket]

once you get to a certain level of prestige it’s kind of impossible to discern one school from another

[final marten]

yeah definitely!

thats why i would take usc, cuz of the rlly nice location and social aspect

but i do think placements r better in other schools

[swift pewter]

USC happens to be really good in the entertainment niche at least, and with LA job placements in general

So if those are of value to you—Marshall is still on top

That said, haas is probably way more affordable for the average in-state student

[sinful ivy]

100%

[wise pond]

for undergrad it is def

[swift pewter]

Who knows

We've yet to even see a graduating grade from Haas undergrad, if I'm not mistaken

[wise pond]

yea it opened up like

2 years ago

heard education was p unorganized rn

and they r at testing stages

so def marshall over haas rn

[final marten]

placements wise idts

and prestige if thats important to some

not rlly to me but speaking objectively ig

[wise pond]

how could they be better placement wise if they havent had a graduating class yet..

[final marten]

their two year program i think

also even uc berkeley econ places pretty well

[burnt jungle]

anyone know if i can commit to nyush just to keep my offer and withdraw later on if i get smth better in april

[swift pewter]

You can always decommit from a college, the only thing keeping you anywhere is the non-refundable commitment fee

[wise pond]

its different when its ed2

[wise pond]

ye they didnt have a graduating program

it started 2023

sep

they grad this june

even the 2 year program

and realistically econ ppl do way worse in the job market thas why most of em go for mba's

even business majors from non target schools try to do mba from target schools

[rancid plume]

untrue

[final marten]

idt this is true look at top club placements from berkeley

[final marten]

also untrue their 2 year program has been around for decades what

idt you know what ur talking about

[wise pond]

yea i guess

ur right

marshall sucks compared to haas

[final marten]

ok lol

dont get so defensive

[wise pond]

defensive of what

im agreeing with your point lol

its ur school thats worse than haas not mine

😔

[final marten]

lol idk about that one either

[rancid plume]

i mean stern is too but alr

Haas > Stern > Marshall

[final marten]

prolly accurate ngl

decent ranking

[rancid plume]

I’m not tryna flame marshall tho

Marshall still beats out most other b schools for undergrad, I’d say it’s better than Tepper and stuff

[final marten]

nah i get it

i dont have any arguments w ur ranking

not sure what the other guy would think tho 😭

[wise pond]

ion know

tbh i dont have any opinoins just going based off stats

but solely on stats maybe haas has an advantage on the west coast but everywhere else ion think its beating nyu gang

@rancid plume @final marten thoughts

[final marten]

hmm interesting

i definitely see where ur coming from

i think nyu is a pure ib feeder and has no consulting/pm/quant/vc/entreprenuership presence compared to marshall & haas

idk i also think nyu places better into NY obviously but the other two place fine into SF and also can get NY if in the right clubs/frats

i cant rlly find stats on nyu IB placements by club so im kinda confused

cuz all the top usc + haas clubs have their placements clearly outlined and theyre pretty good

[wise pond]

i agree nyu is not that renowned for consulting and quant

but lowk entreprenuership wise nyu def has presence

compared to west coast schools

[final marten]

prolly not compared to haas

which is like top 2 along w stanford

[rancid plume]

tepper is really good for quant

[final marten]

definitely

[rancid plume]

one of my friends picked tepper of berkeley (non-Haas) and marshall cuz of it

[final marten]

no real need for a business degree though

quant should be math + cs

ppl that major in business dont do quant

[rancid plume]

The only biz school I applied to was stern lol

[final marten]

ya thats valid

r u east coast

[wise pond]

in numbers uc bekerely got much more millionaires

[rancid plume]

I feel like T20 Econ feeds well into consulting

[wise pond]

but in total wealth nyu wins

[rancid plume]

yeah Imm not applying to west coast

[final marten]

i feel like thats not applicable though

you should be looking at placements for each undergraduate class at the top clubs

to gauge how the school prepares you for your future

like what are you trying to do

[wise pond]

clubs help you place using alumni connections

[final marten]

exactly

[wise pond]

its weird to directly compare club placements though

because for stern ion know about others

out of 600 studnets per year

they barely accept ppl

for stern only clubs

[final marten]

like which

feel like ivies place pretty well

and ivy+

there r some random schools in t20 econ tho that dont place as well

[final marten]

yeah i mean theres the 4 top IB clubs and the 3 business frats

are you doing IB?

[rancid plume]

I applied to most of the t20, the only one which is was not good for econ placement but a good school was JHU

[final marten]

yeah jhu i heard places quite poorly

[rancid plume]

I would’ve applied to Dyson but I felt that it was too competitive

[final marten]

valid

are you IB or consulting

[rancid plume]

Consulting

[wise pond]

id rather do ib than others

[rancid plume]

I might pivot to law school

[wise pond]

but ion know yet

yea same

ngl

[final marten]

ic

yea just look at top clubs for each school ur going into

[wise pond]

corporate law

[rancid plume]

Real

[final marten]

ok yea so

stern is definitely above haas

[rancid plume]

big bucks too but less work than consulting

[final marten]

especially for IB

[rancid plume]

I’m just chasing the bag

[final marten]

consulting is unironically not too worth it

i wanted consulting as well

[rancid plume]

It’s easier than IB tho

less cutthroat

[final marten]

eh

[rancid plume]

especially non-MBB

[final marten]

recruit for IB first and pivot later

[final marten]

non MBB makes peanuts

[rancid plume]

Ib is harder

[final marten]

consulting respects IB summer internships but IB doesnt respect consulting

u can always pivot back to consulting with an IB sophomore internship

[rancid plume]

depends on the company imo

[final marten]

i mean i guess alvarez and oliver wyman pay a decent amt

still gonna be max 140k

max max

[rancid plume]

I think Booz Allen Hamilton employees get good tc

[final marten]

yea but no exit opportunities

ur gonna be stuck in consulting forever

[rancid plume]

100k+ in any city except nyc is amazing tc for a fresh grad

[final marten]

MBB pivots better into PE and corp

[final marten]

yeah thats true ngl

im prolly just business rotted lol i think my perception is too high 😭

[rancid plume]

but If I try to super kjd to biglaw that’s 200k tc with two more years of school

I’m like 99% sure I don’t stand a chance at MBB

IB seems scary too

I’m not sure about the west coast banking scene tho

[final marten]

lol i mean you never know

you're a hs senior rn

you have a clean slate once you start college

just get like 3.8+, join good clubs, youre on the same playing field

[rancid plume]

I’m a good student and all but it’s not looking good out there rn

MBA grads are getting less offers

BCG like stopped recruiting for a year basically

TC is up but more people are fighting for spots

[final marten]

MBA is waste of time

MBA associates r commonly percieved as much more incompetent in the workforce

versus like fresh out of undergrad that have alr worked for 2-3 years

[rancid plume]

MBA -> tech is whay i see

[final marten]

possibly

[rancid plume]

mainly for pivots

[final marten]

just do PM at that point

like 160k tc, good wlb

[rancid plume]

but MBA grads are the main targets for wall street and big consulting firms

I think PE/VC is the best of the bunch

But it’s eveeeen harder

[final marten]

theyre targetted for associate roles

these IB firms still have to recruit analysts tho

thats where undergrads get recruited

[final marten]

vc out of undergrad is a suicide mission

never do vc

youre doing emails and grunt work with no transferrable skills

[rancid plume]

Climbing the corporate ladder can’t be harder than collegemaxxing right????

[final marten]

do vc as an exit from consulting or IB once you've spent time in the industry

[final marten]

its definitely harder

college apps r the easiest part

just gets harder from here

[rancid plume]

I lowkey can’t fathom doing this longterm without seeing adverse affects on my life span

[rancid plume]

oh hell naw

[final marten]

oh you absolutely will lmao

[rancid plume]

ggs 🙏

[final marten]

it will be awful

you get bank tho

thats life

u can also just work a corporate 9-5 for 30 years

personally id just do business for 10 and pivot to cushy corp

[rancid plume]

Why can’t I have a brilliant idea and become an entrepreneur

[final marten]

go to berkeley/stanford lmao

[rancid plume]

Lmao I wish berk/stanford would take me

If I end up at a non-target it’s joever

[final marten]

lowkey

prolly

[tight osprey]

Are 3 LOCIs (pretty concise/short) too much..

[tidal fulcrum]

…THREE?

i thought u were supposed to send 1

[tight osprey]

They are like all very important 😭😭

first one was about national qualifiers, usapl rankings, etc

second one was about cornell internship/program graduation, boosting my volunteer hrs to 200+ and invited to teach a lesson

3rd one would be something that aligns VERY well with the bridge building supplement and how i made an actual impact on a club at NYU

And an invitation to a very well known asset/wealth management firm event in the city

but 3 is like I'm lowk doing too much 😭

[hasty dagger]

and you got waitlisted/deferred???

[tight osprey]

deferred with very shit academic stats to stern

[hasty dagger]

can't you just combine all of the LOCI's into one lengthy one?

[tight osprey]

i wrote the first two already. It was things i never expected lol

like the 3rd one

It all just happened so fast over mid winter break

[hasty dagger]

i mean if they accepted them then i think it could be fine

idk the loci process at nyu

[tight osprey]

they open up the portal for deferred applications i think

im pretty sure regular RD apps are closed for app updates

mine was closed the same time as RD apps got their email then it opened back up

[hasty dagger]

i mean, getting deferred def gives a good sign since they barely defer ppl

and im assuming that you sent them around late dec to early jan?

[tight osprey]

I got deferred ED2

I think ED1 has more prio/acceptances than ED2 no?

[hasty dagger]

i'd like to believe that they're around the same but idrk

[tight osprey]

Its so hard to decide whether or not I should send a 3rd 😭😭

[hasty dagger]

well do you think that your new essay will bring significantly new insight/info to your app?

[tight osprey]

I'd say it builds on the bridge supplement. I inadvertently brought tgt HS students to an NYU event, and was praised by a world record holder/club president. I may also leverage the fact that the president is graduating soon, and that empty spot of a leader in this niche sport needs to be filled

What do you think based off this?

[hasty dagger]

well do you think that your original supplement doesn't give enough info for your story to be fully fleshed out or is this more of an extension to your original idea?

[tight osprey]

in my original supp, I talk about wanting to elevate this club and bringing more people into this sport. Its underrepresented especially in ny.

My recent accomplishment is more of a "im already doing this even though I havent been accepted."

its proof im not bullshitting my supp, as I'm now taking active action

[hasty dagger]

ngl it sounds good as an way to extend and prove your original idea but im still a bit worried about the amt of loci's being sent and that there's a chance that you can overdo your application

normally colleges want a loci to demonstrate your action in general in EC's and other honors and activities, idk if they would want one for a supplement

[tight osprey]

exactly what i worry abt. if this happened like 4 days earlier I couldve just sent one lengthy one

and then my gates scholarship results come out in like 3 days. If i'm a finalist, that'd be a good update too but its so much happening in only one month

[hasty dagger]

what was the time period that you sent your other 2 loci's?

[tight osprey]

Sent one immediately after my deferral. 1-3 day window

[hasty dagger]

and when was that compared to now?

[tight osprey]

sent another one I think like a few days later

[tight osprey]

2 weeks i assume?

then sent the second one a few days later. I was NOT expecting to graduate my program but 200+ comm service hours and co-teaching a lesson for cornell is pretty importabt imo

as i said all this happened so quickly

[hasty dagger]

yeah i feel like a 3rd one would start to push it if it's not related to new activities/awards

and since the time period between the last one and this one widening

[tight osprey]

I honestly think I was deferred based off this singular sport imo

like they saw 2 APs on my transcript and a 3.7 gpa

and decided to defer me

[hasty dagger]

you're currently talking to a 3.7 gpa

[tight osprey]

But its stern too 😭

i went test opt

3.7 gpa 2 aps test opt

[hasty dagger]

ah so you're also letting your EC's carry

[tight osprey]

5 total counting senior year but my midyears werent sent in quick enough

and i forgot my dual enrollment biz courses on my app

lol

[hasty dagger]

were the ap results good?

[tight osprey]

i got two 4s

[hasty dagger]

that's fine

[tight osprey]

My hooks are good too

[hasty dagger]

nyu accepts 4+ on all the ap exams they take

[tight osprey]

its just my academics are TERRIBLE compared to everyone else

[tight osprey]

i thought their test flexible policy accepts 3 APs

I didnt take a math ap cause scheduling conflicts

[hasty dagger]

there's a test flexible policy?

[tight osprey]

yeah

[hasty dagger]

also did you put this in your LOCI?

or one of them

[tight osprey]

No, I just put it in my SRAR

[hasty dagger]

oh alr

[tight osprey]

they'll probably recheck it

cause my midyears are in now

[hexed cosmos]

fr?

[tight osprey]

but yeah this is just 95% EC focused

[hasty dagger]

are your midyears good compared to your avg?

[tight osprey]

Very good upwards trend and very good additional info

went from high 80s/low 90s no AP courses to 99+

with APs

[hasty dagger]

yea mine was also somewhat similar to that

[tight osprey]

at the end of the day i need to decide whether or not i should send this in

[hasty dagger]

lowkey i think what you sent already should be enough but that's in my opinion

[tight osprey]

im just worried that these two things, the invitation to the wealth management company event and the collaboration sports event might make or break my app

cause the business event, according to my instructor, is a way for the company to find seniors who fhey can cultivate and offer an internship during undergrad

might just flip a coin atp bro

[hasty dagger]

how much did you talk abt this event on your resume?

[tight osprey]

no resume

LOL

[hasty dagger]

oh lmao

[tight osprey]

thats why im suprised i got deferred

applied to a business school w no resume no test bad gpa

[hasty dagger]

was there an option to upload one after deferral?

[hexed cosmos]

if you’re cracked ECs can carry then?

I’m tryna read up mb

[tight osprey]

My resume is just a repeat of my ECs

theres a few things on there like DECA clubs and such

[hexed cosmos]

i feel like they gotta expect that tho

[tight osprey]

and computer app skills

[hasty dagger]

yea ik someone with less than a 3.6 gpa cracked asf EC's got into northwestern

[hexed cosmos]

no shott

[tight osprey]

I heard u just dont send it in

thats why i didnt send it in for cornell

[hasty dagger]

did you ED cornell?

[tight osprey]

no

it was just an example

[hasty dagger]

ah ok

[tight osprey]

The only alternative is to update my supplement essay

but the word count is killing me

[hasty dagger]

yea ig that's another thing

if you send a loci for a supplement they might not like it since it's extending the word count

[tight osprey]

No like i can literally edit my supp

the original one i sent in

I slightly tweaked it already

[hasty dagger]

wait are you using commonapp to apply?

[tight osprey]

Yea

On their portal app update they let u edit whatever

[hasty dagger]

oh nvm

[tight osprey]

school of interest, major, everything

[hasty dagger]

including the supp?

[tight osprey]

yeah

and even scholarships

[hasty dagger]

god damn

[tight osprey]

Like EVERYTHINGG

[hasty dagger]

those might have helped my 96k per year tuition

[tight osprey]

i only applied to the ny campus cause of ED2 but i might just add in nyu shanghai now that im not binded

[tight osprey]

U dont have NYU promise?

[hasty dagger]

nah

ig it's kinda expected tho since it's ED

[tight osprey]

I recall putting my alternative school to CAS for econ but its not even here anymore lol

Maybe couldve made it into the HEOP pool of applicants

[hasty dagger]

there may be a chance that they enroll you for shanghai before they do for stern

not sure if that's true or not tho

[tight osprey]

yeahh im sticking to ny campus

[hexed cosmos]

@hasty dagger what’s your major?

[hasty dagger]

cs, the most unemployed major ✨

[tight osprey]

We had 3 people who got into stern from my school's biz program

no way we get none this year

[hasty dagger]

i mean if you get deferred instead of waitlisted/rejected you likely do have a decent shot at getting in

probably better than the other RD applicants

[tight osprey]

Im competing with my school now lmao

400+ peoplepl

[hasty dagger]

wtf

[tight osprey]

Tragic

I ED2 hoping for a smaller app pool comparison

it may be wraps

[hasty dagger]

is your school in ny or smth

[tight osprey]

yeh

[hasty dagger]

ah i see

[tight osprey]

lmao thats why i talk about the sport being underrepresented in ny 😭

[hasty dagger]

whats the sport

[hexed cosmos]

bro yall got a whole pipeline

[tight osprey]

lowk if i say it I may dox..

[hasty dagger]

k nvm then

[tight osprey]

our hs alumni network is strong asf

theres one guy whos in jp morgan rn

[hexed cosmos]

no shot

[tight osprey]

he went recruiting at umich

[hasty dagger]

that's underrepresented asf then if it's that small

[tight osprey]

and he asked my biz teacher for names

so the freshmen at umich ross literally have an internship handed to them cause of our hs alumni network

[tight osprey]

The event held 30 people

[hexed cosmos]

that’s crazy

[tight osprey]

only like 15 showed up

[hexed cosmos]

do u go to like one of those elite high schools

[tight osprey]

and the club pres is like the only person who represents this sport for NYU

If he leaves this sport might unironically die in NYU

I went to the event, and almost nobody had competitive experience besides me

[hasty dagger]

lowkey then i think the supp is already enough

[tight osprey]

in my supp all i talk about is elevating the club to be more focused on this sport

threy dont know its literally DYING at nyu bc of lack of representation

[hasty dagger]

i mean did you explain its lack of representation?

[tight osprey]

no

I just talk about elevating the club to a competitive level and representing NY as a whole

cause they dont have a competitve team unlike the Ivys

or schools in boston

[hasty dagger]

yea then ig doing the alternative option would probably work the best

[tight osprey]

this is already in my supp

I never really said it lacked representation, but more of I WANT to represent NYU and NYC

I'm going to Collegiate Nationals next year I hope, so I may be the 2nd person to ever represent NYU

[hasty dagger]

then can't you use the portal app update for the supp?

[tight osprey]

aside from the club president

[tight osprey]

word count 😭😭😭

[hasty dagger]

instead of a loci?

[hasty dagger]

balance out the representation with it

[tight osprey]

the bridge building supp I talk about bringing a small community to love this sport

[hasty dagger]

the lack of representation part could be like a one sentence addition

[tight osprey]

In my initial update, they ask for a reason why im updating the supp, and I put because I want to represent NY more and integrate the sport into NYU atheltics

do u think thats enough already?

[hasty dagger]

i mean idk if they look at the reasoning for updating the supp

[tight osprey]

That singular small change took like 20 mins

[hasty dagger]

and how long is this 3rd loci?

[tight osprey]

Havent written it yet. Probably 2 short paragraphs at max

It'll take 20 seconds to read lol, its just a 3rd loci is inherently a bit too much

[hasty dagger]

yea that's why i feel like another loci would just be a bit too pestering

[tight osprey]

might just putoff my app entirely no matter the content

[surreal hedge]

yeah, i emailed them though and they said that “my update was noted” 😭

[sand stirrup]

😔

[slim anchor]

average stern kid here lmao

[tight osprey]

Dude i just got the most fire rec from my cornell program supervisor

I forgot i played part in changing NY legislation..

[tidal fulcrum]

how is spring sem going!!

[balmy crest]

is it too late to update nyu abt any new achievements

[mossy socket]

unless you were deferred schools normally dont take additional info unless its midyear grades etc

[balmy crest]

ohh okok

[surreal hedge]

i submitted my update on tuesday and they accepted it so idk

i would go for it

[balmy crest]

did u just email it to them

[surreal hedge]

yeah

i thought i wouldn’t get a response because supposedly nyu isn’t the best at responding but i did a day later

so that was nice

[balmy crest]

oh nice nice

thats good

ughkashdflskdf nyu needs to drop already

the wait is killing me

[agile vapor]

is it too late to ed nyu

[mossy socket]

nyu's application closed two months ago

[sour swallow]

it’s never too late

[tidal fulcrum]

… like three months late bestie

[slim anchor]

Wait I think I remember you from the AP server lmao

[surreal hedge]

yesss

hello

[slim anchor]

Wsp

So you applied to NYU?

[surreal hedge]

yeah 😛 i did rd though even though i wish i did ed ii

[agile vapor]

ed 3

[low carbon]

i did via waitlist form

[low carbon]

i thought they made it clear that they dont like u sending emails ot htem

[hasty dagger]

Damn the acceptance package arrived already?

Yo this is sick

[surreal hedge]

whoops 😅

[low carbon]

I mean if they were nice about it ig it’s ok

Were you waitlisted

[surreal hedge]

no

i’m rd

[balmy crest]

wait omg can i ask u how u phrased it

and wait

u just sent it to admissions?

[surreal hedge]

yeah they have an email you can send it to

it’s on the applicant portal

[surreal hedge]

and for this i introduced myself, gave my ids (cause nyu has two and i don’t know which one they preferred) and listed things out in bullet form

i didn’t want to annoy them

so i didn’t make it too long

[balmy crest]

oh ok smart

[slim anchor]

Oh good luck

[twilit magnet]

At least NYU sends good stuff, UMD sent nothing 😭

[scarlet lance]

When do decisions come out?

[burnt jungle]

yoo can i see ur stickers

[pearl sparrow]

i think they've come out the 28th the past couple years so probably around then?

[hasty dagger]

i put them somewhere in my room and i just somehow misplaced them but ill try to find them

[final condor]

[hybrid vault]

Guys be so fr rn how hard is it to get into nyu applying for aid as an intl student 😭

Nyu stern to be more specific

I would say my application is average but def on the lower end for an intl needing aid

I’ve never seen an intl get into stern needing aid so far

[robust socket]

app cycle is over

wdym

[hybrid vault]

I’m just asking how hard is it to get into nyu if u r applying for aid

Since they do still let u withdraw fin aid

[robust socket]

p hard

[hybrid vault]

I heard it’s like a 0.2% 💀 and I was thinking I might as well just withdraw from aid if there’s alr no chance of me getting in

And also I can technically pay for nyu with my assets if I have to

[rancid plume]

probably around 1%

Stern is alr selective and they hate giving aid to intls

[hybrid vault]

Ye Ik lmao

Realistically I think not applying for aid as an intl boosts ur chances like crazy

A lot of kids from my school have gotten into stern

[rancid plume]

yes they also love rich intls

like usc

[robust socket]

my school had a 40-50% usc acceptance i think

💀

3 ppl got in

low sample size

tbvf

[final condor]

low low low chance

but i hope u get in

[hybrid vault]

i might withdraw from aid LOLLL

im prob gonna email the ao to see if it will even make a diff if i do it this late

cause i dont think my stats r good enough to get in needing aid

also even if they end up giving aid i heard its rlyl shit like 10k

which is literally nothing

so might as well withdraw

also ive alr gotten into great business schools in canada so its not the end of the world if i dont get stern

[final condor]

glgl my man

[thick blade]

0.1%

[hybrid vault]

yup heard that too

i just emailed nyu

[final condor]

rd is April 1st right?

awww this year comes to end so fast

[hybrid vault]

Prob before

[final condor]

scared

[slender stirrup]

hi

hi

[orchid shoal]

Hello

[drowsy echo]

what’s predicted this year

[final condor]

8-9％

[hasty dagger]

~6500 will enroll out of 120,633 applicants

[rancid plume]

yield rate is like 55%

that’s like a 9.9% ar

[hasty dagger]

this includes all 3 campuses btw

[hidden zenith]

wait actually T_T

6500 for all 3?

[hasty dagger]

yea so it might be less for new york alone

especially since most ppl apply to just new york

[rancid plume]

6500 seats or 120k apps?

It’s 5700 main campus students from what it seems

[hidden zenith]

got it thank you lol

did any of yall apply to steinhardt :)))

[hasty dagger]

both

[small dirge]

is econ major at nyu hard... im co 29

like is it hard to get 3.8+?

[slate frost]

I'm not in econ but I've managed to sustain a 3.8 at NYU just by doing homework, studying and paying attention

Some majors differentiate of course, but if you just take the time to learn and seek assistance when necessary you should be fine. Professors offer after hours, some people tutor, etc.

[slate frost]

I received 40k a year from NYU alone

[hybrid vault]

We’re u international though

[slate frost]

but I'm also from New York so I'm not sure if that changed anything

[hybrid vault]

Cause that’s very different

Ye 😭

All the intl ppl ik don’t get aid or only get a tiny amount

Or r rejected

[slate frost]

They make so much off of every single kid you'd think they'd let up a little

[hybrid vault]

bruh ik

i just emailed nyu fin aid

asking if theyll still consider me if i withdraw my fin aid

it might be too late tho so idk

i might as well withdraw if my change of acceptance with aid is next to none

[slate frost]

they might not respond to it or might not be able to answer that

But youll get your aid package with your acceptance letter

[mossy socket]

why would you withdraw your aid

if you get in and cant afford it then whats the point lol

[hybrid vault]

Well there’s no chance I get in needing aid

Also I can tech afford nyu

It’s kinda complicated

Hard to explain

But I have the assets to afford

[mossy socket]

that’s a pretty rash generalization

[hybrid vault]

It’s just family income is low

[hybrid vault]

I mean I think it’s kinda the harsh truth tho tbh

Nyu alr isn’t known for being generous to domestic kids

Plus Ik everyone in my school who’s gotten into nyu has been full pay

[mossy socket]

domestic students don’t have financial need considered in the admissions process

[hybrid vault]

Ye Ik

But I’ve heard nyu is not generous with them too

[mossy socket]

they can also determine you don’t have financial need anyways

[hybrid vault]

Like their aid is kinda bad

[hybrid vault]

That’s true

[agile vapor]

hey guys i cant wait for april 1st

🤤🤤🤤🤤

[austere briar]

Will NYU decisions come on or by April 1st?

[steep crown]

no ivy day

so 27th

[austere briar]

okay so april 1st meant any day until then

[austere briar]

why is everybody launching on ivy day bro

can't wait to get rejected from EVERYWHERE 🔥

[rancid plume]

reyansh college of hotel management too

[tight osprey]

is this confirmed or spec?

[rancid plume]

spec

[winter galleon]

nahhhhhhhh T-T

flips a bittle

bottle

[warm swallow]

i aint opening anything untill all are here

[tidal fulcrum]

my fellow nyu 29ers does it ever feel like ppl downplay the effort of getting into nyu cause one kid at my school who is a junior made a snarky comment abt how nyus tuition is more than yales which is like?? ok?? and we have a 8% ar and are the most applied to priv school.. and ranked t5 for film, acting, business and probably more stuff im forgetting

[hidden zenith]

Nah getting into nyu atleast in my district is crazy tho, it has top programs in a few things lol

[mossy socket]

just ignore it

a school is good if its the right fit for you

rankings and acceptance rate dont matter

[hasty dagger]

yea ppl in my school have downplayed the effort as well but they just dont like the school in general so like idrc what they say

[thick blade]

what random ppl dont say dont matter

my parents work in high finance in wall strt and they all say no schools in the world beat stern and wharton for finance

and my sister went to nyu for film and cs

and she also makes like 400k a y ear or sum bro like

I NEED TO GET IN NYU

[rancid plume]

uh

how

[tidal fulcrum]

HELLO for film and cs?? does she work in film.. or cs?

im going for film and ive been stresing abt my double major

[final condor]

always happened, people don't feel surprised that I got, thats weird

😭

i just do whatever i should do and ignore people

[jaunty parcel]

nobody at my school outwardly expresses it but sometimes I definitely feel like people think it's easy to get in for some reason??

it's crazy to think about the 8% ar when they've accepted 10+ people from my city this year from ed rounds alone

so maybe the number of acceptances around u makes it look "easier"

[slate frost]

When I got in someone in my class made a snarky comment about how much it costs and how I'll be broke haha

They're jealous, it's okay

[jaunty parcel]

no literally like why is that the only thing they know how to say as if scholarships and aid (although limited ik) don’t exist???

same with usc too

like just say you’re bitter and move on

[thick blade]

most people hate on nyu and usc because 99% of the middle class ppl arent qualified to get aid but they cannot afford to go

haters will always hate

[thick blade]

shes at cs rn

graduated 2 years ago but for some reason shes making double like her fellow age group

like shes friends with these pepole from udub uc berkely and waterloo cs

and they make around 200k

she said apparently gaining internship from ny in whatever industry in while ur attending school boosts ur resume and credibility by a lot

so u make more money than most ppl same age

[austere briar]

source?

[pearl sparrow]

based on previous years

[steep crown]

they usually do ivy day, if not then after ivy day but i doubt it gonna be b4

[austere briar]

bet
so it's by 1st april and not on 1st april

[steep crown]

yea

[pliant ivy]

they would be so cool if they released it today fr

[robust crater]

lol no wayy

[pliant ivy]

trust

[robust crater]

😭😭would be nice tho

[pliant ivy]

did they send mlk scholars email

i just assume i didnt get it

[robust crater]

idk i just don’t get emails anymore

from like

anywhere

or they end up in

junk/spam

[primal sierra]

a girl from my class (small intl school) got into nyu ed2

am i cooked?

for rd

[pliant ivy]

Why would you be

[rancid plume]

yeah, what?

[primal sierra]

that the space is already taken by her

[pliant ivy]

bro ur chilling

[swift turret]

my last hope ong

[hollow forge]

when does it release?

[scarlet lance]

Late marvh

March

Last few days

[pliant ivy]

march 14 arguably alte march

[gloomy snow]

No way it’s coming out today

[tidal fulcrum]

for the past few years its came out at 4 PM est on Ivy days so 1PM PST

[final condor]

hmmm

nyu rd date is?

[main violet]

27th i think

im not sure though

[hybrid gyro]

what are my chances of getting off the waitlist?? 😭

[main violet]

literally... my friends always talk about how much it costs.. but i have a scholarship

[main violet]

did you send LOCI?

[hybrid gyro]

like email them?

[main violet]

yes

[hybrid gyro]

hold on idk if this is a loci

imma screenshot

they said not to email them tho

[main violet]

like as in accepting the waitlist offer

did you accept it

[hybrid gyro]

yeah yeah

im so like idk anymore

[main violet]

well yes

[hybrid gyro]

but i really wanna go

[main violet]

you do have a chance

[hybrid gyro]

high chance?

[main violet]

personally i think if you maintain ur grades and interest in NYU, then yes

[hybrid gyro]

im falling off my grades rn 😭

[main violet]

you got that

[hybrid gyro]

like i used to have straight As

now it's As and B's

and mostly Bs

[main violet]

oh thats ok

[hybrid gyro]

is that a bad thing

[main violet]

no

as long as its not like straight cs and ds

[hybrid gyro]

and im on the verge of having a C, my teacher just havent finalized my grades yet

nawwww

physics messed me up so bad

😭

[main violet]

LOLL physics is hard tho

[hybrid gyro]

yeah

i really do hope i still stand a chance

but like idk if im gonna get an aid

[main violet]

did you apply for aid?

[hybrid gyro]

yeah

so it's gonna be a lil shaky ig

[west basalt]

Chat super random but does anyone here know the actual acceptance rate for steinhardt

I simply do not believe it’s 42

Google lying

[main violet]

bro its way lower

its around the same as the general acceptance rate for nyu

not sure about the actual stat tho but its not 42 😭

[swift turret]

nah the acceptance for stern scares me

its like 3%

not including extras sent out

[thick blade]

YA why is this year stern acceptance rate 2-3%

iM KMS

thje year i had to apply had to be the harder than like most ivies bro just admit meee

[west basalt]

Yeah I assumed so

[swift turret]

the fact that stern is my last hope actually makes me wanna rethink this shit

cuz I'm easy rejected from usc, columbia was a joke apply, and fiu not giving me shit for aid

[tight osprey]

My only hope comes from all the waitlists i got

lol

[west basalt]

Only hope is the ucsd waitlist rn (cooked)

[tight osprey]

cmu, uci, uc davis, babson..

[west basalt]

Been rejected to Uchicago, swarthmore and waitlisted ucsd and deferred Cornell

I legit don’t think I’m gonna be able to go to a reach at this point 😟

[tight osprey]

I'm really hoping for Cornell

I talked to one of the directors of admissions and she said having a video supplement may be a possibility

for future applicants

[west basalt]

That would be really cool

[west basalt]

What college did u apply to at Cornell

[tight osprey]

Yeah, it shows so much character

[tight osprey]

CALS

comms major

[west basalt]

Omg same😭

Bio and Society

but I’m not a ny resident so idfk

[tight osprey]

I have the director's personal number 😭😭

i applied cause its cheap cause of TAP

and fafsa

aid

etc

A friend of mine is getting a full ride to CALS

[west basalt]

ahh nice well we’ll see in a few weeks 💀

I’m not too hopeful

[tight osprey]

the people ive talked to said they really want u to be passionate abt ur major

so ig if ur essay shows that its fine

[west basalt]

My essays r good I feel but I didn’t do that well first semester senior year

Which I’m super nervous about

I got a B in ap calc ab and a B in ap chem 😟

[tight osprey]

i didnt take ap calc nor any math aps

ur fine trust

[west basalt]

Dude I’m only in ap classes this year except for speech and debate elective I haven’t seen the sun in a year 😔

I just want this to be over so I can be free 😭😭

[tight osprey]

For my EAs, I only had 2 APs on my transcript

Its fine i believe

[restive umbra]

what’s the acceptance rate for cas?

they dont admit by major right

[tight osprey]

yeah

[west basalt]

No I don’t think so just by colleges I believe

so like cas students and cals students r reviewed separately

Which I really like and it’s why I applied to nyu

[tight osprey]

wait r we talking abt nyu cas or cornell cas

im pretty sure cornell admits by major

nyu by school

nyu

[west basalt]

Wait ur so right I got them mixed up my bad

[hidden zenith]

I was curious too bc I applied as well

[west basalt]

Oooh which major did u apply to

I’ve never met another steinhardt applicant before

[hidden zenith]

Applied psych and same I’ve never seen anyone apply to anything but stern cas or tandon lol

I was planning to double major in neural science if I get in tho which is unlikely

[west basalt]

Same same one other person applied at my school but at cas

My major is super random

[hidden zenith]

Oooh what is it

[west basalt]

Global public health: media culture and communication

Tbh not too sure what it even means but it sounded neat

[hidden zenith]

Oooh I think I did gph: applied psych yeah

It does sound kinda cool lol

I don’t know if ima get in tho bc the rise in apps is kinda crazy

[west basalt]

Same but tbh I feel like the amount of people applying to stiendhardt isn’t the same as cas or stern or Tandon or Ticsh

plus everyone I’ve seen online applying to steinhardt apply as a music or artsy major so idek what gph is like

[hidden zenith]

Yeahhh I think most of them applied to stern or cas or tandon ngl so maybe we’ll be okay 🙂

[hidden zenith]

True true, I just want nyu to come out bc this is the last likely type school I could get into

[west basalt]

I just really love stienhardts vibe and I feel like I would love nyu but I’m super nervous

I haven’t gotten into a reach school yet just rejects deferrals and a waitlist so I don’t have much hope

[hidden zenith]

Same I liked the programs much nicer bc I was abt to do cas but steinhardt was kinda cool with their applied psych program and all, but yeah this is like the only reach school for me that’s easier to get into than ivies but everything else was rejections and waitlists and stuff so not expecting much

[west basalt]

Same same but I hope we both get in and let’s pray steinhardt and gph isn’t that applied to 😭🤞

[hidden zenith]

Ofc ofc let me know what happens on decision day :)))) (I wish you the best!)

[west basalt]

same to u! Idek what nyu comes out I’m just ready to be jumpscared

[hidden zenith]

No same people keep saying Ivy day and ima open that last and pray

[west basalt]

Ughh if it comes out Ivy day I’ll have berk Cornell and nyu to open so stressful 😔

[hidden zenith]

Ugh yeah I’m opening nyu last as a last hope 😭

I’m crashing out about these decisions 😭

[hidden zenith]

Sameeee

I’m ready to commit but the anticipation is both exciting and scary

[pliant ivy]

where u go undergraduate uc moo student

[mossy socket]

tbf it came out three hours before the ivies last year

[raven kernel]

UC moo

[mossy socket]

uc moo

[raven kernel]

[pliant ivy]

[hidden zenith]

Oof still opening it last ngl

[pliant ivy]

like moo as in cow

[mossy socket]

but yea i got off an 8hr shift at 3:30 and floored it home for nyu @ 4

[west basalt]

NYU pls let me in I have major nyc aura 😭😭

[hidden zenith]

Luckily I have a career fair to present at till 8 I’m gonna have to wait then

[mossy socket]

ngl nyu students have the least nyc aura ever

[hidden zenith]

I’m not a city girl but I wanna be one 🎀

[mossy socket]

not a dig but like. you can just tell someone goes to nyu

[west basalt]

Yeah I’m from Cali 😍

[hidden zenith]

Lolll im from TX lmao I’m gonna be so obvious

But I used to be from the east coast so I can deal with the cold

[west basalt]

But I used to live in nyc and my fam lives there so if I get in I’ll be closer to them PLSS🙏🙏

[west basalt]

Twins omg

[hidden zenith]

Literally a sign frfr

[west basalt]

We will both get in and be obvious non New Yorkers 🕯️🕯️🕯️

[hidden zenith]

Yesss ima be one of those people who’s gonna walk out of the subways at the wrong locations, im alr calling it

[west basalt]

I’m gonna be standing in the middle of the street taking pics of the city 🤞🤞

[hidden zenith]

Me coreeeee

[tidal fulcrum]

saying this when columbia students exist

[mossy socket]

columbia is more nyc than nyu

nyu was a commuter school that switched up to become what it is now

columbia has always known who they are

[tulip dawn]

guys what even is the stern rd acceptance rate

im crashing out abt this decision

[mossy socket]

those figures arent really released

[pliant ivy]

let me innn

i poured my soul into the essay

[tulip dawn]

SAME 😭

this was the only supp essay i spent 10+ hours on

[pliant ivy]

10+??????

[tulip dawn]

i wouldve applied ED but its too expensive gahdamn

[pliant ivy]

ok nvm im sorry

[tulip dawn]

yeah 💀

its a lot

[pliant ivy]

i didnt pour my soul into the essay

[tulip dawn]

nah i believe u

u prob did

[pliant ivy]

ngl its the only supplement i tried hard on

building bridges

alliteration!!

[mossy socket]

is it not still 200 words lol

[tulip dawn]

it is

but i wanted to make it the best i could lol

[pliant ivy]

what u write about

[tulip dawn]

volunteering for a local cultural org in my city

and how i would use those skills to make nyu more cultural

and bring people together

[pliant ivy]

thats good ngl

[tulip dawn]

its kinda basic but ig i like the way i wrote it

[pliant ivy]

i only had like 30 words left to say how ill use that in nyu tho

kinda sucks

[tulip dawn]

an nyu ED admit at my school said it was good so ig it was

[pliant ivy]

did u apply for aid btw

[tulip dawn]

nope

bc i dont rly qualify for fin aid

so i rly need merit based aid

but idrk where to start with that

[pliant ivy]

lol

does nyu even give merit based

other than mlk scholars

[west basalt]

My bridge essay was lowk ass

[robust crater]

i didn’t fully understand those prompts

they were just

idk

💀💀honestly im not expecting much from nyu so it’s wtv

[tight osprey]

for the applicants, are your portals closed rn

[tidal fulcrum]

columbia is literally gated off from nyc and relatively a little far away from certain important/iconic places in NYC while NYU is literally in the perfect place (Greenwich) with easy access to so much more than columbia. about your other point i feel like what nyu was doesnt really define what it is today. today its the most applied to priv school in the US because students feel like it is the perfect nyc school, which it is given location and resources and ig my opinion 🤯

like nyu is literally where so many artists go to chase their dreams and what is more nyc than that... columbias bum ass core curriculum? 💀

[mossy socket]

what nyu was was nyc

what they are now is not nyc lol

a gated off campus in morningside heights is incredibly manhattanesque

[tidal fulcrum]

i feel like just cause more students live on "campus" and its more prestigious doesnt mean its less nyc?

[robust crater]

bro I can’t even get in my portal

i js dk my temporary pin

[tidal fulcrum]

sure for the ues but for most of nyc thats like not the vibe or at least the nyc vibe i seek/see

[robust crater]

gotta figure that out

😅

[tidal fulcrum]

omg u should email them 😭

[robust crater]

i gotta dig deep in my email first

if not then

I’ll email

[tight osprey]

what is nyc vibe to non new yorkers?

[robust crater]

overstimulating

But expansive in like

culture

[mossy socket]

its not that its prestigious, its that it pivoted from being a school that served local commuter students to being a university for the upper elite that isnt financially attainable for most of the audience it once catered to

[robust crater]

and opportunities

[tight osprey]

wdym by expansive

[robust crater]

rich in culture; many ppl come from diff places so

it’s reflected upon the ppl u see

the food u eat

clothing

diverse in those ways

language

obvi u can get that anywhere else too but

idk js observation

u can learn a lot tho

from that

[tidal fulcrum]

i think pure vibes like passion, overstimulating, diverse, and energetic which is embodied through like the crowds, the subway, the walkability of the city, museums, artistic cultural hubs whether that be bars or something else, broadway, and like wall street

[robust crater]

oh yes so much art is everywhere

moma, the met

so nice

[tidal fulcrum]

the museums r def closer to columbia but where i feel like art is born is the "villages" where nyu is near

well actually isnt moma closer to nyu

[robust crater]

ye

[tight osprey]

from a native new yorker

I think its overglorified

theres unironically nothing to do here as a highschooler once u are done with museums, ktv, pool, etc

[robust crater]

yea understandable

[tight osprey]

its just shopping and food in the city

and hella crackheads

[tidal fulcrum]

interesting

[tight osprey]

I got spit on at central park for doing nothing

[tidal fulcrum]

oh

thats

[robust crater]

not fun

😭😭

[tight osprey]

and honestly, culture isnt in manhattan imo

[robust crater]

Damn

[tidal fulcrum]

awkward

[tight osprey]

it comes from the other boroughs

[pliant ivy]

went to nyc over winter break

[robust crater]

oh yea fs

[pliant ivy]

saw 16 year old max rolling one up in starbucks

[tight osprey]

weed is normalized

[pliant ivy]

yea i could tell

[tight osprey]

very

nic too

[pliant ivy]

the whole city smelt like weed

[tight osprey]

laguardia has drug counselors

i went to a function and it was just straight alc and weed

[tidal fulcrum]

well my city is weed capitol so i think nyc will be fine

[pliant ivy]

hotell was right next to empire state building which was cool tho

[robust crater]

where tf da functionnn

[pliant ivy]

but expensive as shit

[tight osprey]

u just gotta know people ig

idk how it is for college party life

[pliant ivy]

also this whole tipping culture feels so weird for my european ass

[tight osprey]

but hs its all around the art schools

or in long island

[robust crater]

my friend is frm jersey but she goes to nyc often to rave

well we r both from jersey

but

she’s by jc

its not bad

[robust crater]

y’all doing group order???

[tight osprey]

stony has people too

yep

[robust crater]

ah

[tight osprey]

$50 per

fake

[robust crater]

would u consider that being a decent price

[tidal fulcrum]

so whyd u apply to nyu if u dont wanna go

[robust crater]

as long as quality wouldn’t b bad

[tight osprey]

yea

[robust crater]

😅

solid

[pliant ivy]

i want to go

but if i get rejected

[tight osprey]

my friend has one and he gets away with it

[pliant ivy]

i dont want to go

[tidal fulcrum]

[pliant ivy]

you know what i mean

[tidal fulcrum]

yes

[pliant ivy]

yea

[tight osprey]

Like yesterday i had a few friends, one had a fake and one needed a zyn

[tidal fulcrum]
