ahimsa000 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hey everyone, So I've been checking my email every 6 minutes or so (sad, I know), and I got one that says "Admit Packet-Join NYU Poly for a Special Reception in California." I'm in California, and the reception is only about an hour away from where I live. Anyways, does this mean I was accepted and they are just late in sending out their acceptance letter? That would be awesome! Since my stats are not the best in the world, any acceptance is really amazing for me! Let me know what you guys think?

saphixation Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What does the rest of the email say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 It is an invitation to this info session event in LA...it just has a sign up form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphixation Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's possible that this is an indication you've been accepted, but unlikely. Admittedly I received an invitation to an open house for accepted students at my top choice university before actually being told I was accepted, but the invite also told me to expect good news soon (I got my acceptance letter and financial aid offer a week later, right after I got home from the open house). Since your email didn't say anything like that, I think it's unlikely that it means anything more than what it says at face value. I will also add that NYU poly was one of the schools that emailed me constantly after I took the gre (I didn't apply there), including with invitations to various events, so it's possible the email you got is similar. It's still possible you'll be accepted, though! I got two acceptances very late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks for the reply! Yeah I guess I'm just hopeful with my bad stats that someone would accept me. I applied to Masters' programs, so I have a bit of time before I should start freaking out about not having any acceptances. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 OH I totally forgot, the event date is on April 29th. Which is after everyone gets accepted/rejected. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? I hope I'm not overly excited or anything lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Addendum part 2: It is under the "Admitted Student Events" section. I'm getting more and more excited, but I don't wanna be let down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphixation Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well, that does seem promising, then! Honestly, if I were you, I'd call or email them and find out what the deal is. ahimsa000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah I'm going to wake up super early NY time and give them a call tomorrow. Thanks so much for your input on this btw! much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastersHoping Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Let us know how it goes! I hope you get in! ahimsa000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks MastersHoping I appreciate all the encouragement. I called this morning, and they said decisions will be sent out soon...lol. Hate that answer. I don't know what to believe right now! Here's the link to the Admitted Students Events page, with the California event on the bottom. Does it seem promising? Thanks! http://engineering.nyu.edu/admissions/graduate/admitted/events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahimsa000 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ok. Never mind. I was rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphixation Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It says you need a student id, which is listed in your acceptance letter, in order to rsvp - that definitely seems promising. Of course, they could just be sending out the email to everyone, so it's hard to say for sure.... hopefully it's a good sign, though! Good luck!!! ahimsa000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphixation Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Nvm - that sucks, I'm sorry :-( ahimsa000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starofdawn Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ok. Never mind. I was rejected ... wow. I can't believe they sent you all of that before an official decision had been made. That's absurd. I will probably discourage friends from applying there. ahimsa000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBME Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I think the page says for admitted students and applicants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
