I cried today...
Onji,
The admissions committee at New York University has carefully considered your application and supporting credentials, and it is with regret that I must inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to NYU this year. I am so sorry about the disappointing news.
Please know that your application and supporting credentials were given full consideration. As you likely suspect, we receive more applications from exceedingly qualified students than we are able to admit each year. This year was no exception, as this was one of the most competitive admission processes in NYU’s history. Unfortunately, even though students may be clearly competitive for admission based on their academic records and their test scores, we are only able to admit a fraction of qualified students given the space we have available in our classes at NYU. Please know that whether or not you requested financial aid or on-campus housing did not factor into our decision-making process.
Given the volume of applications we receive each year – roughly 42,000 – please understand that we do not have an appeal process of any kind and we cannot reconsider your application this year. You can certainly re-apply for admission as a transfer candidate, should you matriculate elsewhere next fall, but we cannot reconsider your application until then and we cannot evaluate any new credentials or materials at this time.
Again, I am sorry for the disappointing news. My experience shows that the vast majority of students who are delivered similar news – myself included, as I was not admitted to my own first choice university more than 20 years ago – go on to be highly successful in their chosen fields of study.
On behalf of the NYU community, I wish you only the best as you continue your education.
Sincerely,
Shawn L. Abbott, Ed.D.
Assistant Vice President for Admissions
