[high warren]

Waitlist3d

[ionic monolith]

do the poll guysss

[small frost]

what does it even say

[vagrant gale]

What are y'all stats tho waitlisted

[small frost]

in the thing

[heavy patrol]

not rejected yet!

[heavy patrol]

please don't ask for stats

[upbeat crow]

did anyoen get into stern

[high warren]

Trash stats ngl

[vagrant gale]

Why bro I wanna know if I can get in wtf

[mossy knoll]

thank u raph we love u

[heavy patrol]

stats Do Not define your acceptance. there is no cutoff as such

[alpine bane]

Shut up bro

[vagrant gale]

Stats as in everything about you

Not test

[heavy patrol]

admissions are a black box and it is best to look at it from that perspective. not worth trying to do some stat bending to figure your chances out because it will most likely be wrong

every applicant is different

[alpine bane]

Do u understand people are getting decisions that affect their well being and ur asking them for statistics rn

They aren’t just to benefit u

[oblique gyro]

Generally the rule is if they willingly share stats it’s fine, but don’t ask for stats

[heavy patrol]

^

[upbeat crow]

is there any stern acceptances

[grand spear]

college apps are holistic! your personal story and qualities matter just as much

[upbeat crow]

asking for a friend

if anyone knows

[magic cove]

nag

nah

my opp got waitlisted

[heavy patrol]

@mods in thread can we get like a bot command to explain why not to ask for stats or something like that

[vagrant gale]

Alr I didn't ask anyone in specific just put it out there

[upbeat crow]

u can get waitlisted for ED?

[magic cove]

y7eah

most ppl get waitlisted

[upbeat crow]

isnt it like deferral

or is that the same thing

[magic cove]

its js waitlist but idt anyone gets off of it

for the most part

[oblique gyro]

I’m sure a lot of people will openly share their stats on their own, so you won’t have to ask for data collection purposes

You’ll get a nice sample

[high warren]

Yh I got waitlist3d

[heavy patrol]

it is Not, waitlists are different

[magic cove]

[brazen spire]

[deep wadi]

[thorn owl]

arent you a junior

[brazen spire]

[deep wadi]

u should ED to M&T

then u would get wharton

[thorn owl]

?

[brazen spire]

im eding to central michigan university

CMU

[deep wadi]

i would have done stanford. if not for financial AID

CMU is great

nyu is greater

[brazen spire]

what is ur major

cs right

?

[thorn owl]

nyu is greater then cmu? 😭

[brazen spire]

nahh

cmu has po shen loh

that alone means cmu > nyu

[thorn owl]

also what do you mean ED to m and t for wharton its harder and has more niche requirements compared to wharton

[deep wadi]

uess

[deep wadi]

like if u do wharton then ur second choice couldnt be anything i think

so M&T 1st pref wharton second pref

[ionic monolith]

huh

[deep wadi]

but im not applying to upenn

because AID

[thorn owl]

what

im confused

also some people just would not want m and t due to increased workload

this would effect your gpa

[crimson plinth]

[fading glen]

Any Stern people here?

[misty quartz]

1540 4.0

[onyx tapir]

Anyone who got in was Financial Aid good?

[regal tendon]

[high warren]

building off of this question, what about SPS waitlist?

[golden root]

[magic cove]

[mellow cliff]

[small frost]

I’m doing dramatic writing I hope we all get in 😭

[round agate]

[crimson plinth]

welcome, first waitlist warrior of 2026

[crimson plinth]

second waitlist warrior of 2026!!

you'll have a jolly good time in the future waitlist warriors (or derivative) channel!

[hardy cloud]

waitlisted 🙂‍↕️

[crimson plinth]

wow so many waitlist warriors already

nyu really a bish

[hardy cloud]

do they actually take ppl from waitlist

[crimson plinth]

yes

my day 1 got off the waitlist in may

[golden root]

it depends on campus i think

like some campuses take more off waitlist than others

[hardy cloud]

ahh icic

is it a must to fill in smth in the

"what happened in between" stuff

to have a better shot?

[hardy cloud]

academic updates or whatever

[crimson plinth]

im not sure about that, i think it just goes into the LOCI

[golden root]

i just filled out the form super fast

i need to talk to my counselor lol

[hushed bay]

do you include ls core?

[pine sinew]

yo anyone submitting an appeal

[ionic monolith]

do those work

[oak summit]

prolly not 💀

[errant niche]

they don’t 😭

[oak summit]

maybe if u go like i got 1b+ donated under my family's name or sum 💀

[jolly ember]

Dear NYU admissions,

I would like to reject your rejection

[small frost]

does cuny release next year or this year

💀💀

[ionic monolith]

i lowkey like... dont know

since macaulay is march

[pine sinew]

i was thinking of changing my major from nursing to eng lit and pre-med

[ionic monolith]

premed aint a major silly

[pine sinew]

pre-med track brah

[ionic monolith]

eng lit premed track is lowk aura

[pine sinew]

if not rory meyers, cas ftw

[round agate]

[hushed bay]

dont feel like explaining it again @round agate

[drifting raft]

#1448830292482719914

[round agate]

ah ic, is there a count though?

[chrome garden]

I FELL ASLEEP

WAITING FOR TS

ITS 5AM

[oak summit]

international times 😭😭

[chrome garden]

yo opening it in a minute

[oak summit]

i cant even imagine

[chrome garden]

let me get a bit awake

[oak summit]

😭

night decision

[chrome garden]

WAITLIST

yooo

not bad

wheres waitlist bro 🥀

waitlist from stern is crazy dawg

[drifting raft]

Just hit defer

We didn’t know abt it

Nobody told us 🥀

[chrome garden]

bro im sad that

i actually gotta do the college app process now

i havent written a single supplemental

[drifting raft]

You can add yourself to the leaderboard tho

No one has yet

[hardy cloud]

wait what u can choose to be deferred instead if ur waitlisted??

[chrome garden]

she meant on the poll

[drifting raft]

Not for actual admissions

[chrome garden]

what lb

[drifting raft]

Yeah

Just the poll

[small frost]

did you not do the nyu supplemental

[hardy cloud]

ohhh okok scare dme

[chrome garden]

i did

i meant the other 50 LMAO

[drifting raft]

You can also go to #1448830292482719914

Mega version for all

[oak summit]

so relatable

[chrome garden]

nah bro no whining from me

im pleased it wasnt a rejection lol

[drifting raft]

Well you discuss what to do next

You have loci probably

[molten garden]

Chances of getting in if deferred?

[chrome garden]

am i just cooked if its a waitlist from stern lmao

its ggs

i dont even wanna write that loci

[round agate]

why not

[round agate]

kinda lol

[round agate]

same as rd acceptance rate

[chrome garden]

😭

[jolly ember]

did u get in

[round agate]

waitlist

😭

[knotty torrent]

waitlist from ed?

[jolly ember]

yup

[hardy cloud]

does NYU let you email LOCIs?? or is that too much and i should js use the form on the portal

[round agate]

just do form on portal

[jolly ember]

u don’t like the school enough then

[round agate]

cuz there basically is no chance?

realistically who is gonna reject stern for smth else?

[knotty torrent]

u never know bro

never know til u try

[round agate]

and so many people waitlisted, so few slots

[hardy cloud]

fr i wish i got deferred instead

[jolly ember]

isnt waitlist better than deferred

[jolly ember]

u still gotta try

[round agate]

think its opposite

[round agate]

i suppose

[chrome garden]

ye deferral is better cuz they re-evaluate you in RD

at least this means i may have a shot at other top business programs 🙏

[jolly ember]

isnt waitlist like u already qualified

Js not enough spots

[jolly ember]

wharton

[chrome garden]

ok dawg thats a bit too much 😭

[hardy cloud]

imo waitlisted is just a yield protection tactic whereas for deferred u get reevaluated and compared to RD applicants, essentially getting a second fair shot at admission

[jolly ember]

so after waitlist the only 2 options r reject or accept

[chrome garden]

oh NYU doesnt even do loci?

[round agate]

its just a form?

on the portal

[chrome garden]

yeah i think so

thats nice

[round agate]

yeah, took me 2 seconds to do after waitlist

[chrome garden]

@spare ledge dawg did u get in

[round agate]

rejected

[chrome garden]

oh rejected

mb

[round agate]

no need to bother him

[chrome garden]

mb sorry bro

[cursive abyss]

Anyone got stern

[bleak turret]

[round agate]

i pray

[earnest copper]

yep i got into good schools last year too

atp nyu is just ragebaiting me istg 😭

[queen hornet]

this is more common than i thought

[queen hornet]

whatd u turn down

[bleak turret]

is it

it's so fucking ass

everyday i am reliving the worst year of my life

all over again

and i can't figure out how to do anything and how to make everything new and better

[small frost]

does nyu limit how many times you can apply?

[earnest copper]

i got into fordham, pennstate, uci, ucd, ucla, SUNYs, ucf, unf, and waitlisted in umiami

[small frost]

what happened with umiami

😭😭

[earnest copper]

nothing

ig cus im not full paying

[queen hornet]

oh :(

[earnest copper]

i was supposed to go to a local uni but my mom told me she wouldnt pay for my college cus we got into months of fighting/silent treatment

and yea i had to take a gap year

but NYU is really my top choice

ion wanna stay in fl

lol

[small frost]

Oh 😭😭

hopefully you get off the waitlist

[earnest copper]

idk anymore, man

i waited 6 months last year

and i got nothing out of it

i dont wanna sound pessimistic but it's the reality lol

[high warren]

fordham gabelli is nice and they give out full merit based tuition scholarship

[earnest copper]

they only gave me like 50% scholarship and i had to pay $46k-ish a year...

[high warren]

oof

is 46k w/ dorming?

wait ur out of state lol

yeah nah out of state tuition is hideous

[wary notch]

recommendations on basic alg prof??? or cso🥲

[spiral parrot]

basic algos i did with oshman and nobody seems to like her but i had no issues with her

[small frost]

there’s no out of state tuition

😭😭

[spiral parrot]

lowkey don't remember for cso

for os though do NOT take walfish under ANY circumstances

literally anyone other than him is good

[wary notch]

did u take data structures with Joanna?

[spiral parrot]

lemme check the name of the prof on albert it's been a hot min

[wary notch]

our coding Final grade is like 25% students got 0, 25% got 100……….

[spiral parrot]

what the FUCK

how is she grading ts??? is it like you either get 100 or 0

[small frost]

jwl what does your status mean

😭

[hushed bay]

the sweats and the dropouts

[molten garden]

please change the server icon so i can stop looking at the school i got rejected from

[spiral parrot]

i had evan korth for data structures, i liked him a lot

[wary notch]

🤫From Mao we dont talk this

[small frost]

😭

[hushed bay]

wait is yall's final an exam?

[small frost]

my chinese is so ass

[spiral parrot]

i had goldberg for cso and honestly he was entirely unremarkable. i got an A and remember none of it

[spiral parrot]

oh i remember having to draw those like flow charts of various pieces of the computer or whatever the fuck those sucked

[regal tendon]

realistically is it worth holding any hope for waitlist stern or better to just like fuhgeddaboudit

[versed solar]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[queen hornet]

you should do both

simultaneously hold out hope, but also forget about it because thinking about it doesn't help

[spiral parrot]

i'd just forget about it lowkey

submit your loci

and then get it out of your head

[regal tendon]

pray for booth

[spiral parrot]

isn't booth grad-only?

[regal tendon]

is it?

[queen hornet]

yes

[queen hornet]

uchi booth? yes

😭

[regal tendon]

mb

whatever the econ college is 😭

[grand spear]

focus on your other applications yea, as pessimistic as it is waitlist decisions are much more uncertain and case by case so i wouldnt like, plan your applications or college decision around getting an acceptance. focus on RD and hopefully you get admittances youll like!

[lone shadow]

i got deferred to RD applying to cas. Realistically is my chances still 5-6% (rd chances) or a little above or below?

[regal tendon]

im done w all my apps, i did ea everywhere and ed nyu

[barren orchid]

guys i am accepted as liberal studies... wtf is that

[tawny creek]

dw you can just swap

congratulations!

[barren orchid]

oh ok!

[small frost]

I thought you can’t change from that

😭

[barren orchid]

what is the poitn of that

i applied for cas

[small frost]

Liberal studies core is two years and I think you have to do it

[small frost]

Didn’t you select the options for the campuses thing

Like ranking your first, second, and third choice?

[barren orchid]

yes, only for cas tho

they let me decline

wait but can i still graduate w whatever major

[hushed bay]

Technically yes but it’s harder to switch to majors in meyers or stern

[bleak turret]

yo could u come dms? ur the first person i found in the same situation as me i would love to chat

[onyx tapir]

Im really badly wanting to Early Decision II to NYU. My family makes about 120k a year with a family of 5 and two kids in college. I already my financial aid may be horrendous as I don't qualify as under 100k. My fafsa SAI is -1500 and I will be receiving full pell grant. Does that help and will my package look affordable?

[ionic monolith]

i would look at net price calculator

you'll probably qualify for a decent amount

[earnest copper]

yep sure

[spiral parrot]

you have to do a bunch of random humanities courses for your first two years and then get to transfer to your actual major after that

you still end up with the same diploma as someone who got accepted straight into CAS

[hardy crow]

are you able to withdraw nyu ED 2 or shift it into RD pile?

and is there a date for it

[hushed bay]

You can I think the date is like a month or so before ED2 decisions come out

maybe around mid january or so

[hardy crow]

ah

[fringe hedge]

cool

i got in tandon!!

anyone else get in tandon?

[hardy crow]

im thinking about ED 2

[hushed bay]

ayyy congrats

[hardy crow]

but withdrawing if i get into USC EA

which comes out jan 17th

[hushed bay]

I'm tandon rn if that helps

[hardy crow]

is that viable?

[fringe hedge]

is the vibes good there? it took me a year to make friends in high school lol

[hushed bay]

ill be fr its kinda harder if you're not going to the manhattan area since tandon's a bit isolated in brooklyn

[fringe hedge]

can i take manhattan classes in my first year?

[hushed bay]

I think you can but it's difficult to do so first year since you can only dorm in brooklyn during freshman year

[fringe hedge]

tandon students go to manhattan classes for minors right?

[hushed bay]

yep

[fringe hedge]

would there be any other reason to go to manhattan?

[hushed bay]

clubs, sports, events

majority of the non technical clubs are in manhattan

[fringe hedge]

ah i see I got some interests in clubs at manhattan so i'll definitely be around there

[hushed bay]

did you apply here as a hs junior? just curious

[fringe hedge]

tbh i dont think ill do a minor cuz I'm trying to maintain a good GPA. one of the reasons i did tandon is the 4+1 MFE

[fringe hedge]

no im a senior right now

junior would be insane. people do that?

[hushed bay]

ive heard of some people that have done it

also your role kinda messed with me a bit lmao

[fringe hedge]

oh lol

[fringe hedge]

what major are u btw?

[hushed bay]

cs

will prolly minor in math and possibly data science

[fringe hedge]

nice thats what i want to do as well. is it hard to maintain good grades with CS?

[hushed bay]

depends on the class and professor honestly

[fringe hedge]

do u take physics class or chemistry class?

[hushed bay]

3 out of the 4 classes im in rn are decently easy with good professors

no i skipped chem

and physics i dont need to take

[fringe hedge]

i see

[hushed bay]

gen chem 1 professors are actually brutal tho

1.2 and 1.6 stars i think

[fringe hedge]

im gonna fail chem AP and I already got a 3 in AP physics so I'll probably have to take science again at NYU?

probably will do physics

[hushed bay]

every exam is 4+ for credit except for AP physics C mech and AP calc BC which needs a 5

AP physics 1 credit doesn't count

[fringe hedge]

yeah i got a 3 on C Mech lol

[hushed bay]

me too lmao

[fringe hedge]

but u skipped cuz u passed ap chem?

[hushed bay]

physics is my weakest out of the 3

i skipped gen chem 1 and 2 cuz i got a 4 on ap chem

[fringe hedge]

well, good talk. thanks for the info

[hushed bay]

yea no problem

[river plank]

are any of you guys in New York or native New Yorkers? i wanted to ask how regents and stuff impact the admissions process

[oak summit]

p sure they dont impact

not 100% tho but i havent heard anyone talking about regents like ever for college

maybe for like cc

[river plank]

oh okay

bc my regents aren’t bad but they aren’t the absolute greatest ever

[oak summit]

and as long as like your scores arent like failing or might make your transcript look iffy

they usually dont care unless its cc cause the normal/advanced regents diploma and such is really generic i think in ny

[river plank]

oh okay nice to know

[ionic monolith]

theyll see it (as its on your transcript or if your report to STARS) but it doesnt impact

i never really understood the point of regents diploma/ with honors or distinction

[oak summit]

lol for real its so useless except for getting graduation cords lowk

[ionic monolith]

i dont even think we're getting a cord for that

[oak summit]

oh

my school gives me one

😭

[ionic monolith]

our school has like

2-3 cords

[oak summit]

dang...

i be seeing ppl with like 10 cords

[ionic monolith]

nhs, val/sal, ap capstone

[oak summit]

💀

[ionic monolith]

oh wait val/sal might be a sash

[oak summit]

those r actually kinda crazy ngl

[small frost]

Because I got a 55 on the exam…

😭

[limpid heron]

Do regents count as a final exam grade at ur school

[small frost]

The exam was like a few days before my grandpa’s funeral 😭😭

[small frost]

No

[ionic monolith]

dang 😭

[limpid heron]

Ok they do here

[oak summit]

wtf

[ionic monolith]

no waive on geo?

[oak summit]

final grade is crazy

[small frost]

because I took it in sophomore year and they stopped the Covid thing

[limpid heron]

that's how they make us lock in for regents

[small frost]

for regents

[ionic monolith]

that is so petty

[ionic monolith]

oh wtff

[limpid heron]

It's so dumb

[ionic monolith]

i know schools do that with ap scores

[small frost]

I got an 88 on English, 83 on living environment, 88 on us history

😭😭

[oak summit]

were ur avg in those classes at least good

💀

[limpid heron]

what the eff 😭

[small frost]

which classes

My chemistry grade went from 83 to 76

[oak summit]

.

😭

[small frost]

But right now I’m taking ap bio

[limpid heron]

this would scare tf out of me

[small frost]

I’m probably going to get a 90 something

[oak summit]

wait so whats ur gpa then

[small frost]

Geometry went from 75 to 81

[ionic monolith]

ap bio higher is wild

[oak summit]

at least its going up

LOL

[small frost]

Earth science from 90 to 80

[oak summit]

💀 oh

[small frost]

Almost a 94 unweighted

my gym grades went down

From 100 to 80

Because I keep passing out

😭

[oak summit]

ngl

nyu might eye at ur failed regents

💀

cuz its ny

[river plank]

OMG me too!!

[small frost]

they have to give me a chance

[ionic monolith]

i dont think they will

honestly

[small frost]

I’m applying to a major that requires a portfolio

[ionic monolith]

private institutions probably dont care

[small frost]

and my ecs are good enough💀

[oak summit]

really i feel like if its passing they wouldnt mind

[ionic monolith]

theyll know what regents are but other states also have forms of state testing

[oak summit]

yea true but it might be taken into account a little at least

🤔

[ionic monolith]

so its like kind of difficult to consider all

maybe if it shows on transcript i guess

[oak summit]

yeahhh

[small frost]

I forgot this is the nyu thread

😭😭

[limpid heron]

my hs transcript has my sat regents and ap scores all on it for some reason? so i wouldn't be surprised

[oak summit]

wtf ur sat is on it

mine only has grades and regents

n classes

[limpid heron]

yea it's weird

lowkey my counselor forgot to change it up 10 points for my superscore but it's #whatever

[limpid heron]

the way im not even applying here

praying for everyone

[versed solar]

do middle school regents count

🗿

[oak summit]

[limpid heron]

[oak summit]

💀

[versed solar]

[ionic monolith]

[small frost]

i got a 67 on the algebra 1 regents

i did not care at all

[ionic monolith]

[versed solar]

67 is the best score you can get

[small frost]

i was bored of algebra 1 in 8th grade and could not be bothered to ask for help 💔

[ionic monolith]

wait u can lowkey tell my grade is inflated

thru regents

[small frost]

[ionic monolith]

[small frost]

i'm scared for that exam.

[ionic monolith]

acknowledging that u skip

[small frost]

[oak summit]

[ionic monolith]

[oak summit]

[barren orchid]

😭😭thank u so much

[silver mist]

How’s the culture at NYU, any New Yorkers have a perspective? I feel like the transplant culture could get too frusturating for me

[high warren]

Performative capital around nyu

Unless it's stern cuz that's diff culture

[tender spire]

Live laugh love nyu currently writing my video essay about twink death

[river plank]

does anybody who got in have advice on how to frame your personal statement or supplemental? or like just in general what to write for them?

[visual oxide]

im giving interviews on twink death lmk

[ashen kestrel]

guys does anyone know if a 4.31/4.79 (max gpa) enough for nyu cas econ

[queen hornet]

[ashen kestrel]

😭 😭 😭 thanks guys I’m afraid I will not get into college

[onyx tapir]

Guys if i wanna get in really bad should i just apply LS even tho I want stern

[sharp fable]

anyone here in the virtual info session rn??

[modest valve]

scared for ed2

[vast sorrel]

guys, im doing the NYU STARS

[small frost]

oh my god im scared looking at this

[modest valve]

whats STARS?

[vast sorrel]

what if my grading scales vary between subjects? like for some subjects, 88-100 is A. for others, A starts from 89 and 90. how do i report abt this when they only allow me to put one school scale?

should i just click 'something not listed here'

oh actually theres that 100-Point to report A from 90-100; but the B is not accurate

[vast sorrel]

yeah i am too

[vast sorrel]

it's to report the scores

[small frost]

I wish they took what’s already on common app

😭

[vast sorrel]

yeahh

[modest valve]

ohhh

[vast sorrel]

bcs some will be slightly different from my report. like it may automatically show an A (since it follows the 88-100 A), but in my report card, it is a B since the A starts from 89 or 90

[oak flare]

this triggered me

[vast sorrel]

guys omg why cant i change this 10th grade

it was supposed to be 9th grade

they have until 13th grade and i got confused and start counting backwards and put my 12th grade as their 13th grade (which i think is not right)

[vast sorrel]

frrr

[vast sorrel]

i think i have to do it all over again

[vast sorrel]

nevermind guys i did it already

[pastel dock]

fuckkkk why does NYU do STARS

shits so ass

[ionic monolith]

it's not that bad i think commonapp c&g is worse

[versed solar]

why do you keep leaving and rejoining

[ionic monolith]

i join back when i’m bored and have nothing to do

[tawny creek]

aura

[small frost]

Yeah the deadline is like January 5th 😭

To submit the portfolio

[rotund tusk]

yea but ig they will still accept ur portfolio

after Jan 5

[small frost]

In this case they don’t have a grace period

[rotund tusk]

[small frost]

I’ll probably just email them

Okay wow I can’t submit poetry 💀

Ooohhh game design I have friends there lmk if you guys need pointers

[modest valve]

[grand flame]

Also if anyone’s applying IMA hmu
The portfolio is way easier than game design because it’s just throw all you got + the introduction video

At least for last year idk if it changed this year

[grand flame]

Do u have any specific questions I can forward it to them

[modest valve]

yes give me a bit

[grand flame]

Ofc take ur time

[modest valve]

okay so i guess what i really wanna know, is there any examples of formatted portfolios i can see? or like an outline? i just have 0 fucking clue on what to add in aside from well the actual work

i wrote up a decently lenghty statement for my first item in the portfolio and idek if its too long or short etc

[grand flame]

Gotchuuu I’ll forward this to them

[modest valve]

thank you!

[modest valve]

btw if you want, id love to directly contact any of them if they are okay with that

[grand flame]

I’ll ask!

[modest valve]

okay cool thank u

[hardy crow]

[ionic monolith]

did you try another browser

[hardy crow]

nope

[ionic monolith]

it could work

i had a similar issue and it worked when i tried safari

[hardy crow]

same thing when i try edge

[ionic monolith]

[hardy crow]

okok

[small frost]

Dramatic writing

[queen hornet]

such is life

[small frost]

[hardy crow]

YAY

[modest valve]

dm me anything too if u want

[grand flame]

lol it was the same thing I dmed u earlier haha

[modest valve]

oh lol

[magic cove]

how good is the nyu ed2 stern rate

and what ab cas econ

[grizzled jolt]

hi

so

how easy is it to transfer from steinhardt to cas

[vast sorrel]

guys im rly confused if i shld ED2 to NYU Stern or UChicago

just got deferred from UChicago and was thinking if i shld ED2 to UChicago

[oak flare]

omg

i know all about this u

dm me with specifics!!

[oak flare]

i had a friend who got deferred ea but switched her app to ed2 and got in but nyu ed2 also has a fairly good acceptance rate

i’m also biased as a uchicago reject and nyu commit just in my experience students at nyu stern especially are a bit happier than uchicago but it’s all subjective

[vast sorrel]

ohhh i see 😭 hows the work opportunity in NYU?

[oak flare]

in terms of stern i’m not too familiar but it’s all about what you make of it. i’ve def noticed stern students have a LOT of career opportunities tho just based on observation

being in the city helps a lot too, people are looking for proactive stern kids who are familiar w the city imo

in terms of uchicago all my friends there are stem majors so i know nothing ab business over there

[vast sorrel]

ohhh i seee

thanku so so much

[oak flare]

def do your own independent research tho!

[vast sorrel]

yepp i did!

[oak flare]

what r u leaning towards

[vast sorrel]

finance, like corporate finance

i wanna work in top finance companies like JP Morgan

so i rlly think NYU offers the opportunity especially bcs of its location

[oak flare]

if ur liking places like JP i def think stern would help u out

lots of recruiting there and lots of opportunities to stand out especially cuz of city access yk

[vast sorrel]

yessss

thankuu sosomuch!

btw do we have to sign the early decision form? i changed my application from RD to ED2 but they didn't ask me to sign that form

[queen hornet]

which one do you like more

don't choose it based on chances

chances are effectively meaningless they have no real base in reality

which one do you like more

then ed2 chicago

it is quite nice

happens to the best of us

wont tell you it doesn't sting

just that it doesn't sting forever

your story is just beginning

eh. like i said, don't pick based on the chance

i don't really think being too delusional is a thing

LOL

nah you're getting in your own head

trust me when i say you are just as qualified as the next applicant, and just as qualified as someone that gets in. for some people, in a way... saying that to them almost makes it worse? so i know i'm maybe not the most helpful. but at the end of the day it really is just luck. and when you fire enough shots, you increase your surface area of luck. a rejection doesn't mean you did anything wrong and it reflects shockingly little on you and your application.

so don't go home just yet, the game isn't over

lmao lemme see

the thing is decisions aren't reflective of how competitive you are. like i said it's shockingly unreflective. it's really hard to believe but when you see enough people go through the process and hear enough admission officers you will understand

ignore the comments. they do not know anything. brutal

yep

every day i am here i see the blind leading the blind

this is good. in fact, don't think anything. just keep swimming forward

i can't make this decision for you, but whatever decision you make will be the correct one

yeah, that bottom comment compelled me to say the ignore the comments part LOL

in the nicest most respectful way possible, truly hard to comprehend the lack of intelligence needed to write a comment like that

it is incoherent

all you man

eh i don't think so

unless you subconsciously wanted to prestige farm while doing everything you were doing, it just simply cannot be the case

viewing things through the lens of prestige is also a very chronically online thing to do. the vast majority of people i know whether at t20s or random schools all did things to do things. admission officers do not look at a kid and go "bro is prestige farming", it is purely a redditor take

yes

yes see this is what i mean

lol no problem

head up your future awaits

[vast sorrel]

i got rejected from wharton too 😅

[vast sorrel]

im a little bit more biased to nyu bcs of their location and work opportunity

[queen hornet]

very overrated school

[queen hornet]

go for it!

[vast sorrel]

yepp i did ed2 there!

[queen hornet]

best of luck

[vast sorrel]

thankuuu! means alot!

[magic cove]

i got rejected uchicago loll

so im also prob ed2'ing here

[small frost]

i wonder if this is acceptable enough

😭

[tender spire]

Is this for dramatic writing?

[small frost]

yeah it is for dramatic writing

[tender spire]

Best of luck you got this 🤞 lmk if you need any help / I can ask my friends in dramatic writing if you have any questions

[small frost]

can you ask about what kind of samples they included lmao

💀

[tender spire]

“i did a 10 minute play and a 5-6 page screenplay, also i reused one sample from my usc app, they aren’t going to check”

[small frost]

was it a complete sample or just an excerpt? 😭oh do they mean the elevator thing (the usc app)

[vast sorrel]

guys i changed my NYU RD to ED2 but they were still unchanged in the portal. is it bcs they're on winter break?

my counsellor has also answered the additional academic credentials few days ago but the status hasn't been updated up until now. i guess that's bcs of the winter break?

[silver flint]

probably

just give it time to figure itself out
