Members don't see this ad.

I guess they really are testing out rolling admissions.

 

[moogle44]

Just cancelled my interview here, I can't afford to fly to NY again. It was in mid december some one wants to reschedule to a sooner date.

Good luck everyone and Cangrats to thos accepted!!

 

[NeuroE]

Congrats!

Did anyone get rejection emails? They usually go out together.

I emailed them about this a couple weeks ago and their response was: "All decisions will be made by March 1. Some acceptances will be sent out earlier. Students are notified by email."

So rejections will only go out in March.

 

[anfleisch]

Last year it seemed like mostly waitlists went out March 1st. They keep a big list.

hahaha same, i interviewed in late september but haven't heard a thing!

 

[UpperEastSide]

have they rejected people yet?

 

[frackrack]

Just got a phone call from my interviewer to let me know I was accepted!!! OMGOMGOMG

Interviewed late October. She said they'd send out an official e-mail on Monday.

could you let us know when you get the official email.
That would probably be a mass email to whoever was accepted at the same time (so no need to wait for your specific interviewer to call).
i also can stop going crazy at every ring of my cell
thanks

you took the words right out of my mouth

 

[nerdtastic]

i bet it wont be at the same time as the mass email... but just a thought.

 

[wanderer]

Last 2 years the mass emails went out on either a Friday or a Monday in the middle of December (which would mean that this year decisions would most likely go out on the 17th or the 20th)). However, the few decisions given out already make things a lot more confusing. 😕

I hope to hear soon as this school is my top choice as of now. Interviewed late October.

+1 on the whole confused thing...congrats to all those w/ acceptances. I didn't interview here until mid-November so I expect to wait a while...December 17th sure would be nice though 😀

I am guessing interviews up through late November will still hear in like 2-3 weeks. They seem to just be testing out this rolling admissions thing on a small scale for the future.

My status changed from Interview complete-final decision pending to just final decision pending today.

with only like 4 people posting that they were accepted (2 each a month apart) it does seem quite isolated.
but what do they need to be testing?

 

[anfleisch]

I don't know if it is so much testing, but maybe just feeling out how the process would work when they have done it a different way for so long. The person who presented on my interview day kind of gave that impression that they were "testing" it out for a few people.

glad to know that there is factual basis on the testing theory- rather than us creating it so that we can keep clinging to hope😉

 

[anfleisch]

No the woman who was in some way in charge of curriculum definitely mentioned something about the adcom messing around with rolling admin of late.

 

[ddalgi]

how effective are in the area emails for NYU? i'm going to be in NY for an interview and am thinking about sending one w/an update. thanks!!

 

[DoctorKazefa]

you took the words right out of my mouth

I just got the official e-mail, but it was definitely written in a way that assumed I already knew I'd been accepted. For example, the subject said "NYU School of Medicine Letter" and the e-mail told me that the official letter was enroute. It didn't say "NYU School of Medicine Admissions Decision" and say, "we accept you", that was implied.

was your status on the secondary app changed?

 

[DoctorKazefa]

It wasn't changed until today. I just paid the deposit

well congrats and thanks for keeping us updated!

 

[Champaigne]

My status changed from Interview complete-final decision pending to just final decision pending today.

I had the same status change...did you already get a decision? I'm curious if it actually means something has changed of if this is just automatic...

No decision yet, interviewed on Nov 15th. I would guess it has some internal meaning, but really is insignificant to us since they won't let us know right away anyway.

 

[frackrack]

im pretty sure this is what it means.
it changes from "interview scheduled" to "interview complete- final decision pending" when your interviewer files the interview report (usually the same or next day).
The committee meets once a week to discuss the prior weeks applicants so after the meeting and your "decision" is made it changes to "final decision pending".
It stays like this until they release the decision (after which it goes to "accepted" for the deposit... status).

@anfleisch- it seems that they forgot to change your status after your interview.

 

[nerdtastic]

all of this waiting is just making me batty.


i already expressed to my interviewer how much i loved NYU and would love to be a student there. he told me to email him with any questions, and im temped to ask him if it is worth it to send an additional letter of intent to the school just to make sure they know i want to be a student there. thoughts?

@frackrack...thanks for the explanation. I don't know where you got your info but just understanding the process a bit is helpful.

@nerdtastic...thats pretty ballsy, I think it would probably be ok. but the potential for backlash seems slightly higher than a normal LOI. regardless

youre right, not worth the risk.

no need to neurotically refresh it if you subscribe to this thread- automatically get an email with the new post- when someone posts.
Unfortunately, u don't get any new emails from any new posts until you visit this thread again ( then needing a refresh 😉)

 

[Acp2010]

arghhh i want a decision so badly! really unsure as to whether i'll hear a decision in december or whether i'll have to wait until after the new year since i interviewed in mid-november. 😕

 

[oldyogurt]

yeah i should do that, thanks. I was (not clearly) including my email and the NYU secondary status page too. It's been on "Final decision pending" for weeks.

 

[nerdtastic]

how?! id love to be able to have ti email me a notification instead of obsessively checking this thread haha


edit: got it! nevermind!

 

[vballer]

I'm interviewing tomorrow but I don't think I ever received a interview confirmation email and can't figure out what time to show up. I vaguely remember something about a 10:00 appointment. Is this the standard interview time or am I going to be hopelessly late if i show up at, say, 9:30?

 

[anfleisch]

They don't send a confirmation and told me on the phone to make sure to write it down since. Just call and ask, better than showing up late.

Yea, you should have scheduled it over the phone, and they tell you to make sure you write it down. I'm sure you can call them, though.

 

[nerdtastic]

anyone call recently? last year they didnt hear until the 18th- im wondering if they are going to send out acceptances ON the 15th this year

yea
language used was after the 15th- so no need to go crazy till others post here that they got accepted 🙂

 

[MB333999]

i sent an update letter but i did not get a confirmation that it was received, should i call in???

 

[dramaqueen14]

i sent an update letter but i did not get a confirmation that it was received, should i call in???

i sent an update letter and didn't get confirmation so i emailed them again a few days later asking if it was received and they said they got it and attached it to my file. so yeah i would follow up on it just so you know they got it.

I'm sure they got it and just have a lot of apps.

 

[Thom1986]

My status also changed to just "decision pending" today.

 

[Thom1986]

Does anyone think we will hear decisions this week? I hope so.

 

[Acp2010]

Does anyone think we will hear decisions this week? I hope so.

i definitely think some people will hear decisions, it's just a question of whether it will be only people who interviewed early/up through October.

 

[nerdtastic]

hope so!!! website says that the first decisions will be sent on the 15th, although last year it was the 18th (but who knows if the website wording changed since last year)

 

[wanderer]

(but who knows if the website wording changed since last year)

I doubt it.

 

[BrainBuff]

hope so!!! website says that the first decisions will be sent on the 15th , although last year it was the 18th (but who knows if the website wording changed since last year)

A few of us already got decisions on December 3rd. I guess the website is not that accurate.

 

[Thom1986]

I interviewed Nov 18th, but my status changed to "decision pending," so I am hoping (I know it's a stretch) that means they will get to me. We'll see.
