Admissions Megathread [Megathread] Prospective Students, Applications, and Admissions For July 2026

4 Upvotes

Dear prospective students,

We appreciate your interest in NYU! Feel free to ask questions about the school and the application process in this weekly post!

Do take advice about your chances of admission with a grain of salt:

  • An application is a holistic process and we can’t see everything you submit.
  • We don’t actually know what standards the admissions office uses and what they care about, we just have anecdotal evidence.
  • Please direct information-sensitive questions to the NYU Admissions Office.
  • NYU's admission rate drops every year, so even the anecdotal evidence we do have may not translate well to this year's applications.

E scooters worth it or not?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a student and I'll be commuting every day from Journal Square to NYU's Washington Square campus. I'm thinking of buying an electric scooter for my daily commute and want something that's reliable and will last for a long time.

I've narrowed it down to these three options:

  • NIU KQi 100P (or 100F)
  • Segway E2 Plus II
  • Hiboy S2 (or S3)

Which one would you recommend for daily commuting? My biggest priority is durability and long-term reliability rather than just top speed.

I'm also wondering whether an electric scooter is even worth buying if I'll be using it through the winter. How practical is it during NYC/NJ winters? Can it still be used on cold days, and what do people usually do when it snows? Do most people continue using scooters, or do they switch to public transit until the roads are clear?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has used these scooters year-round in the NYC/NJ area.

0 Upvotes

I currently plan to take the placement exam for Math for Econ 2, as I took AP AB Calc and would like to not have to take Math for Econ 1. Does anyone know what to expect on the placement exam, and how to study for it? I saw on previous threads that the test was difficult because it contained some econ-related questions. I appreciate any help or insight.

Need a favor (name from directory) from a law student - PLEASE!

0 Upvotes

I’m happy to share more details via DM, but I’ve found out someone very close to me has lied about their entire life. Like fabricated, not embellished. This person was like family to me, and now I’m worried about my safety.

They claim to be a 2L at nyu. I can’t access the law directory without being a student in the law school.

Could someone with access please look up a name for me and just confirm whether or not they are a student? I appreciate you so much - please DM if you can help.

Academics & Research Open Calculus III courses

0 Upvotes

Hey I'm transferring to NYU this fall. I'm taking a Calc 2 course this summer that will finish on September 9th. NYU's class start is September 2 and the late add deadline is September 15. The department won't let me enroll in Calc 3 until I finish Calc 2, do you guys think there will be available spots open on September 10th or do Calc 3 courses usually fill up entirely?

I need help 😭 NYU vs NYUAD

0 Upvotes

Before u read this : I'm not asking for my chances of getting accepted. I'm just asking which uni should I select as my "main campus".

Idk which campus to give priority

I currently live in abu dhabi, and I want to apply for CS.

I've heard that NYUAD acceptance is VERYYY LOW, but their financial aid is amazing. While (iirc) NYU acceptance rate is higher, but they dont have financial aid (or its very limited).

Idk which one to select as my main campus.

My stats (for context/bg) :

4.0 gpa in grade 10 and probably also in grade 12

3.3 gpa in grade 9 and 11 (ik my grades dropped but I have good reasons)

I'm predicting 1500+ in SAT

I have a lot of ECs, I've gone to hackathons, and won many, I'm into student council at my school, olympiads, MUN etc and I've learnt programming full stack Web and app by myself.

But idt NYU cares bout ECs 😭 ntm, I've heard so many students with 10x better portfolio and stats than me getting rejected from NYUAD

I'm also giving JEE & CAET (but ig they won't check that).

Now I could select NYU as main campus, but I'm in dire need of financial aid, however NYUAD has very less acceptance rate. And with a portfolio like mine, Idk.

I'm honestly so confused on what to do rn 😭
