I'm assuming there's something wrong with the system...
Mine went from under review to status unavailable. I call them to ask what's up, and it goes back to under review.

If you read a page or two back...

we think that means pre-interview hold..

Yikes! ar2388 doesnt make a compelling case for us who have the "final decision pending" message and are interviewless.🙁

Is there ANYONE out there who has received an interview despite their status page displaying "final decision pending..."?:luck:
 
Ahh now I'm really scared everytime I check I'm going to get FDP (pre-interview)
 
🙁 im sorry guys.. hopefully they just have a weird system and its not a preinterview hold... even if it is, they are still so early in the interview season...

hmm this reminds me that i should leave interview feedback
 
hmmm...that got me thinking. I wonder if Israel should have been spelled Israle. lol anyhoo, don't mind me, just trying not to think of the final decision pending status on my app. >.<
 
I think you guys need to just stop checking your status so obsessively.

I have Final Decision Pending - All final decisions will be sent on March 3rd. . post interview. I remember it changing to all sorts of things pre-interview (I think i mentioned it a few pages back). Don't obsess over it all =)

Hey Guys,

So I just called the admissions office and asked about the "Final Decision Pending" status. The lady on the phone told me that it DOES NOT mean you were rejected. It means your application was sent to the admissions committee for evaluation. If a decision is made to offer you an interview, you should hear back from NYU within (and I quote) "a couple weeks to a month" after first seeing the "final decision pending" status. Otherwise, you can assume a rejection and will be notified on March 3rd.

Hope that helps!

I don't remember when I first saw the change from under review to final decision pending!😱
 
Does NYU not send pre-interview rejections at all until March? I need a new first choice school, if so!

interview invite this morning! does NYU really interview M-F? i'm not used to this "pick your date within these 3 weeks" format...
 
Yea, it seems so. It's kind of nice having that much choice. I can schedule the interview around my exams and not the other way around! Though I imagine it's first come first served, so we should call soon.

'grats everyone who heard today or recently 🙂
 
I also have the strange "Final decision pending" message...

for those of you that got interviews, were they by snail mail?
 
does anyone know if the hotels that NYU sends with the interview invites offer student rates? or know of any hotels that are cheapish in the area?

thanks!
 
ive been complete at nyu since late july, and my status is still application complete - under review. anyone in the same boat? and anyone have an idea whats this about? is it a silent rejection??

If that is the case, then I think you are on hold. A lot of people here who were complete after you received the "Final Decision Pending..."

In that case, I'm starting to think that Final Decision Pending = rejection.

I was complete since july, had this message for ~2 months, and got an invite a week ago (last monday). Hang in there!
 
thank you! I think I speak for all of us when I say you have just given us hope when we thought we had none.

Anyone have any suggestions for us? I don't really care how far the hotel is as long as it's within walking distance of the subway 👍

Oh and for those above, "complete - under review" is the status you want to have! So chin up! :luck:

Similar situation: complete late July, got an interview today. 😀

Patience is key!

Congrats! So, what month can you schedule your interview?

The time frame they gave me is essentially all of November, and like other posters have said it appears that you can schedule for any day of the week.

I remember that on Nov 4th (election day) and Nov 11th (vetran's day) you can't schedule an interview.

i am looking into renting an apartment for the weekend (since i'm going with my bf)- i've looked on craigslist and found places (furnished, no additional fees) for $190-$250/night. in comparison to most of the hotels i looked up on NYU's list (and everywhere else in manhattan!!) it seems very reasonable. i found a job and roommate on craigslist, so i have the faith 😀
 
I guess I finally caught on that they're only distributed on Mondays... (?)

here's to yet another week (8+)! 🙁

That's a really good idea, didn't even know you could do that. I think I"ll probably end up staying at an old friend of mine's apartment. It may just be a couch, but nothing beats free!
 
They said they were going to start notifying acceptances earlier than March this year.
They didn't set a date or anything but said it might be sometime in January.
Three more months!
 
Anyone know how I can contact the admissions office to let them know I'll be in the NYC area for another interview?

Here's to clearing up some myths....

1) I interviewed there already and they said that they were potentially sending out very few decisions in December this year but the dean hadn't decided yet whether or not they were going to do that. Basically, there's a very slim chance you'll hear in December if you already interviewed, but it's not bad if you don't hear anything.

2) I got an interview invite on a Wednesday, so they don't just go out on Mondays.

3) Post interview my status changed to Final Decision Pending (it was previously under review, then interview invite, then Final Decision Pending).

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info, especially number 3. This gives me (and many others) hope!
 
Welcome to the club buddy 🙁 Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have other opportunities.
