I called and was told that originally submitted the letter in doc form is not a problem.
Just withdrew. Best of luck waitlisters!

No, I still haven't... I asked and they said it takes two weeks to get it back.
Also, good luck to everyone on the waitlist! 🙂
out of curiosity, what is the primary reason you all withdrew? Was it cost or things about the program?
Cost mostly. I loved NYU on interview day, but unfortunately, it wouldn't have worked out financially in the long run.
+1. 100% loans at a school like NYU means an estimated debt of >$320K, which is a tough pill to swallow. The school itself is awesome.
The waitlist is moving! Just got the email!

Just got the email today. I had to turn it down so good luck to you all! I hope one of you gets it.
got an acceptance email today as well. not sure what i'll do right now. does anyone know if the waitlisted people get fin aid?
Yes, we do. It takes a few days though. I just got mine today and I got accepted on Friday.
Edit: Congrats!
can any current students tell me about the student life at nyu? are people generally happy?
I was hoping it was a good sign that there's only 128 members of the class of 2018 facebook and 166 members in the class of 2017, but this thread has been kind of quiet as has my inbox 😢
omg me too! at this point I have given up hope on getting off the waitlist🙁 sigh. oh well. The hope was good while it lasted.
So, got a finaid email today, have yet to receive a formal acceptance. Anyone similar?
did you send updates or loi or anything?
LOI+update combined
Was accepted today off the WL! Didn't send a LOI nor an update. After interviewing in October, would have loved to attend, except for the sticker price (got no finaid). Matriculating instead at Mt Sinai. Hope one of y'all gets my spot.

withdrew today. Best of luck to all of you 😀
Accepted off the waitlist today! I will be requesting deferral. If granted, I presume one more spot will open up in the class! 😀
Good luck everyone! This being my second time applying to medical school, I know the process can be frustrating. Keep your heads up high. Good things come to those who work hard and are patient.

Cornell!
Very nice. Congratulations
Question for those accepted from the waitlist. Did anyone get a substantial scholarship offer? If so, did the offer come with the acceptance email? I'm set on one school but a scholarship would definitely sway me towards NYU. How long is worth waiting before making my decision?
Got off the waitlist today. Super happy because it is my dream school but also at least 100 k more expensive than my state school. I am really not sure what to do. Anyone have any thoughts?
Does anyone know how long the lease term is for? 9 months or 12 months? What if we only need 9 months...
Withdrew my spot (heading to Sinai!). Good luck to everyone still waiting!!
Just got accepted off of the waitlist. A little confused, because I had thought that we only have 24 hours to switch our acceptance after May 15, but the NYU acceptance e-mail seems to imply that we have a full week to send in our deposit?
This is a hard decision for me, since I have an acceptance at a school that I really liked during their second look. NYU is tempting since I've liked the idea of living in Manhattan for a while. Wish I had gotten an acceptance in time for second look!
For those who did attend NYU second look, how was your experience/impression of the school? At NYU interview day I really enjoyed being in the city, but it was hard for me to get a sense of how supportive the faculty is and how friendly the school community is.

I remember second look mostly for the party haha, but it was pretty impressive in terms of facilities, e.g. campus, hospitals, and especially NYSIM. They're also doing quite a bit of construction but those buildings-to-be won't really be of benefit for Class of 2018. Didn't really get a feel for faculty support, but the student community seems really awesome and happy. Manhattan and Bellevue are definite assets.
Really depends on what your other choice is. How does the money situation look at both schools? For me the decision was a no-brainer because my other school gave me money and NYU is full loans lol.
Accepted off the waitlist today! Still debating if I want to attend. Received a 20k scholarship from Einstein and Einstein subsidizes everything for students including housing ($500) and fully funded research and global health opportunities. NYU has a better location though. Anyone else in a similar situation?

I know I should move on and be happy about my current acceptance, but I still check my email every day hoping for an email from NYU 😢
Anyone else on the waitlist wake up to an email from the NYU Office of Financial Aid today, asking you to log into Albert and complete all your outstanding item(s) on your To-Do List?
Happy 4th, everyone!
Happy 4th, everyone!
Is the class full or what? Still hoping for an acceptance. Jesus.
