THEN DONT POST IN THIS THREAD....dont tell me that there is no point

Great to know!!! oh that's exciting....did Dr. Mejia seem optimistic about getting in? When did you call her/how did you get in touch? Did she just pick up? Thanks so much healthcare! I hope we both get in!!

I got a chance to speak with her. She said that they will most likely wait till Feb. 1st b/c that's the deadline for the application. Another admissions person told me that the waitlist usually moves around end of Jan, and March-April. I know that the deposits were due and some people were accepted around christmas so I think sometime in February we might hear something? I HOPE SO!!!

THEN DONT POST IN THIS THREAD....dont tell me that there is no point

There is no point.

did you see what the other person posted....it was information pertaining to wait listed people (and it had to do with a time period other than the one you said) clearly your not the all knowing person....so make like a tree and leaf your useless comments in some other thread

How about you use your time using the search button and find out when waitlisted applicants were accepted from previous cycles like many do instead of making "useless" threads. They just waitlisted you and it's only January. They will not accept you anytime soon. Think about it.

Okay this is my last post to you because now its getting ridiculous.....I'm just going to stop getting a rise from your comments and I'm going to stop responding.....anyways, anyone else on the wait list out there?

I used to be on NYU's waitlist. As harsh as Donuteater is, he's absolutely right. They don't move their waitlist until way late. With that said, with their huge class size and large tuition, their waitlist MOVES a lot.

Just be proactive. However, there's a fine line between proactive and annoying. So watch out for that.

Not getting off NYU's waitlist is kind of a blessing in disguise for me. I was able to get into other schools this time around and I think I would have been miserable at NYU.

any updates?

How does NYU make their final decision on the applicants?
Do your stat gets you the interview and the interview gets you in OR do they use a formula like UNLV and rank students based on GPA+ DAT+Interview score ?

My interviewer specifically told me that each interviewer gives his/her interviewee a "yes" or "no" as to whether the committee should further consider the candidate, but that the committee makes the final acceptance decision I assume based on stats/undergrad institution/etc.

Interesting. So does that mean people on the waitlist got a "no"? Because it seems that there havent been many rejections sent out.

i don't think anyone got a rejection after the interview. all those who did not get accepted at that point are on the waitlist, and if spots open for those who were sort of considered as a "yes", I think those get the opened spots.

interesting indeed!!! any other updates for anyone else

Good luck everyone! I will be applying next cycle!

right around this time of year some people got off the waitlist last year....i called and told them this and they said the standard we can pull people off at any point now

You called them and said, "I looked it up and this is the time where you take people off the waitlist."?

I really hope you didn't tell them your name.

Don't worry. Like many have reiterated, the waitlist moves relatively fast. You'll most likely be admitted in. Just don't bite the hand that feeds you. =)

hahaha i know i actually completely phrased that wrong....i didn't tell them that they admitted people last year...i said hey i was wondering how the waitlist was going to move this year? were students on the waitlist going to start being admitted in january/february? and then they said well the waitlist can move now through the start of when classes begin

Has anyone gotten in off the waitlist yet?

When I called back in Feb, they said around this time we should be hearing something. But given that people are still interviewing it's looking like April sometime. :/

I heard of one person who got off the waitlist....someone told me about this....but yea judging by last year's thread...2 people got off in feb, 3 in march, and most in mid april-end of april...they received a phone call from dr. mejia....does anyone ever call dr. mejia? does she ever call back or email?

Anyone else hear anything? Ah....so someone said that in feb (two posts above) we would hear back in March...

Thanks PBURE. Anyone happen to know when the 2nd deposit is due in April (the exact date)?

When i called last time, it went to voice mail and she called back about an hour later. Still waiting to get accepted from nyu. i was waitlisted on 12/1

bump

I was waitlisted on 12/21. received my acceptance today! (via mail, UPS) I think the waitlist does move after the second deposit, but I asked dr.mejia if i could get my final result (whether it be acceptance or rejection) before my second deposit due date at another dental school. I think it usually comes as a regular snail mail (I live in the US), but to expedite the process of getting the deposit in by April 1st, it came as an urgent UPS mail.

If any of you out there REALLY want to go to NYU, but want an answer before you put a second deposit down for another school, do let her know. SHE DOES HER BEST TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYTHING FOR THE APPLICANTS!! and of course, they require you to show the official letter of the acceptance from another institution. good luck!! :)

She is wonderful person and does her best for students. I made the similar phone call to two other schools that I was waiting for answers and they simply said, oh, well, tough luck, pay up pal.

It is nice to see some schools actually understand that paying $3500 for students after paying thousands for interviews and ... is alot of money in April to waste.

CONGRATS! If you don't mind me asking...how did you get in touch with her? I tried calling dozens of times but they never let me leave a voice message

she actually called me last thursday asking for the reason why I wanted to come to nyu and whether I still wanted to come. before that, I just sent her emails. what I did was that I directly replied to her email address (when she requested to send in the official acceptance letter) and she told me that actually takes longer for her to see it (b/c emails do get piled up). sending an email to the admissions office, NOT HER, will expedite everything b/c SOMEONE in the office will see it and update your file and let her know.

healthcare whats your GPA and DAT scores? Just curious.

.

what's your username? healthcaree?

.

nice, are you considered an URM? just curious to compare, my stats are similar to urs. (except if your URM)

.

Has anyone else received any phone calls from Dr. Mejia?

any one else hear back?

any one else hear back?

bumpp

first movement should be next week :xf:

lets keep the positive energy going!! :thumbup:

keep us posted if anyone has any info!

.

What school did you end up choosing?

and...

.... why did you go through all that trouble...?

Called Dr. Mejia the other day.. Expect movement in about a week (allow time for deposits to process). people on the waitlist are not ranked but reevaluated so everyone gets fair shot. good luck!

.

Pretty sure you could have made the decision without that acceptance letter. It's not like you got the acceptance letter and magically decided to ask your friends about the school. It wasn't the acceptance letter that made you realize that you didn't like big classes where people didn't show up.

But what the hey, it's your life.

.

I actually contacted all my friends after I got the acceptance letter.. and some hardcore searching afterwards. As I said, it was a pretty big contemplation since I did want to attend NYU, and still am sad about letting it go. hopefully it'll help someone else out!


i hope i get your spot!!:xf:

Has anyone else received any phone calls from Dr. Mejia?

Any movement?

Daughter moved from waitlist to offer 4-1-11, phone call and email

Congrats! Will she be attending? Whate state are you from?

Bump

No one else has gotten off the wait list? :confused:

nope, nothing :(:( gaaaah! apparently there has been some movement, but they won't share how many people are on the waiting and how many got spots! aaah this wait is killing meeee

Bump

No one else has gotten off the wait list? :confused:

maybe other people have but they are just not a member on this site.

I called and was told--again--that it could be anytime from now until august.

I heard the same thing when I called in. There has been movement on the waitlist. However, does admissions call every student who is now off the waitlist to notify them or can they just send you an admissions package through the mail?

:xf:Crossing my fingers for everyone (including myself)!

They call first and then send the package. I got the call March 30.

Thank you "dental1339" and Congratulations!

Anyone heard back in April?

Anyone here placed on the waitlist in March?

I was interviewed in september and waitlisted dec 1st....still waiting to hear back....I wonder how they are doing this...going through all the apps at once or just taking a handful...is it based on when you interviewed? How can they just randomly pick up a bunch of applications and then decide?

TeethManager,

I interviewed in March and I've been on the waitlist since mid March....still anxiously waiting.

I also interviewed in March (mid-March) and got waitlisted on March 30th. :(

I interviewed very beginning April and now waiting for their decision.
What do you think of the chances of getting waitlisted / accepted / rejected?

I know a few people got off last week, I was just wondering if anyone got off this week

What do they say when they call...

What do they say when they call...

dr mejia calls and asks if you're still interested..then quickly offers you the spot and basically says "are u in or are you out"? she doesn't have time to futz around so be ready to tell her you can accept..and that you're capable of paying for it..moving to nyc and making sure all prereqs are done

what if she leaves a message what does she say....

she would probably leave a message to call her back then

Sorry about that....I didn't mean to be rude :-(

Sorry about that....I didn't mean to be rude :-(

you WILL KNOW when dr. mejia is trying to reach you for the waitlist movements. i honestly don't see the point why you're wondering what she would SAY in the msg. pbure already gave you an answer to that... although it's not the VOICE MSG, it'll be something similar. i've missed two of my acceptance calls from other schools and they just ask you to call back.

hi! I was interviwed on january 7 and waitlisted by feb, and have not received any notification lets be patient +pity++pity++pity++pity+

just put on waitlist.. via snail mail..
so sad.... do i even have any chance..? i'd say very slim at this pt..

I'm giving up my spot in the class today, good luck!

I'm giving up my spot in the class today, good luck!

Thanks! that gives those of us who are waiting hope!

Bump, has anyone else gotten off the waitlist recently??:confused:

I interviewed in late November, got waitlisted on December 1st and got the call from Dr. Mejia on Monday. If it's any consolation to anyone, she said she's expecting the list to move a lot more. So don't lose hope!

Was waitlisted in March and got a call last week. Really relieved and excited! Good luck everyone!

anyone else off the waitlist recently?

seems like there hasnt been a huge movement compared to previous years :(

Finally got the call this morning:))))) :D waitlisted on dec 1st.
Make sure you show ur interest.I e-mailed them couple of times:)))
Good Luck guys!!!

Hello all,

Any recent movement on the waitlist?

This is my first post, but this waitlist is killing me!

My patience getting dried out.. I called and dr.mejia just told me to be patient coz when seats become available, she will let us know. accd to her, itz already full by this time.. anyone getting off of waitlists recently?:confused:

yes please do let us know if someone is getting off the waitlist..this waiting game is so not fun

Any movement at all?

I just removed my self from the incoming class last week so someone should def be getting a call soon. Don't lose hope :)

Thanks for your update Kaypee. It really does keep the hope going :). Hopefully, there is some movement this week.

Good luck with the school that you decided to go with!

What is everyone doing who has not been admitted yet? What is the best thing to do with the year off? Im looking at some special masters programs or just shadowing and taking classes?

reapply, work.....and wait and wait......and wait....

Hello, just to let you know i have left the waitlist, I have been accepted in another dental program! Good luck!

Congrats...where r u headed?

Hey all, im all the waitlist also and can commiserate...the waiting game sucks
Does anyone know if your chances at acceptance dwindle as the summer continues on? Do they have as much movement later on as they did earlier?

Hey everyone,

I'd like to know too. Any updates recently?

Let's try to keep our hopes up :xf:

yeah, looking at last year's thread, it seems like there were a couple of acceptances at the end of the month so definitely keep the fingers crossed :xf:

I was just accepted yesterday so the waitlist is definitely in motion as people begin to pull out.

Keep your hopes up everyone. I'm gunning for you guys :)

Congrats!!!! I hope I can be in your shoes soon!!

Thanks predent and misstooth!

I did indeed get the call from Dr. Mejia. She called me herself! And she's really friendly.

I hope you guys get the call soon! Stay in touch with admissions once in a while to show your interest and good things will come :)

congrats lee! how often is "once in a while"??

I called or emailed about once every 10 days or so.

It's a fine balance because I didn't want to annoy them (not good). At the same time though, I wanted them to know that I was still interested in attending since I had been on the waitlist for so long. I firmly believe that showing interest helps so do contact them to make your name known!

Hope that helps and good luck guys!!

I just Withdraw my acceptance today.

NYU is a great school and Dr.Mejia is a wonderful lady, probably the kindest admission person that I have met last year.

Best of Luck to the person who is going to get that spot.

Thanks PreD for the update. Good luck wherever you're going to now.

^^^ You are welcome and Best of Luck to you as well.

is anyone still on the waitlist applying to any 1year masters programs? I applied to barrys and midwestern and I was wondering if anyone knows of a program which is well reputed and has its application still open for the upcoming fall?

Hello! I was just accepted yesterday - there is still movement!! Good luck everyone!!

Cogratz! I wish I could be in your shoes soon.
How often did you contact the admissions? Every time I called, I was informed that Dr.Mejia was not available.

I e-mailed her about every other week. I never called. Hope this helps!! Good Luck!!!

I was playing soccer today and when i finished i found that i had a missed call from Dr.Mejia...no voicemail or email

is this a good or bad indication ... im still on the waiting list for 2005

I e-mailed her about every other week. I never called. Hope this helps!! Good Luck!!!

did you email admissions? or HER email?
if so directly to her email, can you pm with her email address to me? i ve been on the waitlist for quite a long time. dont know what else to do at this pt..

I e-mailed her about every other week. I never called. Hope this helps!! Good Luck!!!

Same question as the post above me--did you email her directly or just email the general admissions email address? I have been waiting to hear back, and have been contacting the school, but dont want to pester them. What did you say when you would email them? Just that youre still interested?

Also, Congrats MissTooth!!!

are they done getting anymore applicants off the waitlist?
if so, ... if not, should i call them to let em know of my continuous interest? coz i emailed prob once 2 wks.. but seems no effect..

idk if theres been any movement recently...seems like there hasnt. Last years thread has people getting accepted until early august, but looks like slim chances at this point :(

I agree :( I think that they already had their white coat ceremony and everything.

Well, I asked admissions once when the last day to hear back would be and they told me August 22 which is their first day of classes so maybe theres still a glimmer of hope :xf:

I just gave up my seat there so don't lose hope!

I just gave up my seat there so don't lose hope!

lol I guess this was a mistake, in any event, I think they are trying to say the waiting list is closed.
