i got in to nyu from the waitlist in 2004 cycle and defered so i guess i answer both of your questions. last year i had 17s 18s 19s on dat and 3.12. i had already applied for the next year when i found out about nyu. at the time i was filming a movie and also couldnt move across country in 5 days so i defered. i reapplied with my stats seen below and have interviewed with usc, ucsf, and unlv. so far i have been accepted to usc. hope this helps
