Answers:
1. if you want to know early. i think it's easier to get in early too.
2. transcript and sat scores.
3. nyu won't stop you from having one. hopefully your common sense will.
4. no. if you're needy, reconsider applying early decision.
5. no one likes nyu and none of us could ever imagine going anywhere else.
6. it's quite good.
7. be funny and weird. that way when they reject you, at least you didn't waste their time completely. that's how i write cover letters for jobs. sometimes it works.
8. it's incessant.
9. it is very big. sometimes people say "oh, my friend goes to nyu. do you know so-and-so?" the answer is always no.
10. they are boring.
1. No
2. SAT II.
3. No.
4. No.
5. No.
6. No.
7. Not sure on this one.
8. Fine.
9. 800.2 sq. km., 7.3 million.
10. Depends.
1. probably not, if its not your absolutely top choice and you aren't sure about the financials of the situation
2. SATs, ACTs, and grades (plus, how difficult your program is). Pretty much every school considers those above anything else
3. NYU wont stop you from having a car but I think you'd be crazy to even think about having one
4. it was pretty nice with me. I got some good scholarships from the school directly and the rest was all covered by loans.
5. wouldn't know, Im an incoming freshman
6. look on the website, I also recommend princetonreview.com
7. your involvement in clubs/school activities
8. see answer to 5
9. see answer to 6
10. see answer to 5
1. Early admission or early decision? there's a difference I think. I applied early decision, and I'd suggest you only do it if you know for sure that you want to go to nyu.
2. I don't think that there's an easy answer for this one. It's a combination.
3. Nope.
4. Not sure.
5. It's sort-of a love-hate thing, I guess. We'll bitch and bitch about our school, but I think deep down we like it.
6. n/a
7. n/a
8. Some of the much-hated dorms are more social (i.e. Weinstein). It all depends on where you live. Some dorms are very social, some not.
9. Not sure.
10. Like the requirements? Not awful I suppose.
As an new student to NYU, this is the way I would answer these questions (and if I had an ounce of courage, I would post it on community too):
1. If you really, really, really, REALLY want to go to NYU
2. No clue. My whole app. was crap so it's a wonder how I got in. My essay -- mediocre, my test scores -- okay but not great, GPA/Transcript -- only part that was sparkling (bling, bling), extra-curricular -- not that many and not very active in any of them.
3. Yes but I agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nycgirl08. You'd definitely be nuts to have a car in NYC.
4. Fuck no! Actually, make that a FUCKIN' HELL NO.
5. Seems like most don't. Hopefully I won't be one of those people who think that way.
6. How would I know? I'm a bio major (yes, I switched so please don't get on my case about it. I'm not sure I like it either).
7. Every part? Don't bother? Whatever.
8. No clue as of yet.
9. Huge. Lots of people. LOTS.
10. Hopefully somewhat good.
That being said, I feel very snarky. Today was a shitty day. I started my period today and damn the menstrual pain and cramps suck. This was the worse I have ever had. Ever. I even had to take a pain-killer (aspirin) because it was killing me. I'm fucking allergic to aspirin! I'm going to so break out. Damn you period. I want to be a guy. *grrr*
