2014-2015 New York University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Mine says "welcome to 3 year opt-in" but I got the WL email. So that message doesn't mean you're in.
 
I thought you were only invited to the 3-year program IF you were accepted into the MD track?
I have that as well, and I was waitlisted. Not sure it's a glitch, or they'd take your application in case you get in eventually.
 
WL. The portal was showing 3-year track opt-in. Now it went back to the previous information.
 
Congrats to those accepted -- it's obviously a world-class school and in one of the best places to live in the world haha

Maybe they're not going to reject anyone yet (only accept and waitlist)? My theory is they added those extra interviews in January because they originally got a lower retention than expected (of people coming) and had to interview more candidates to get more potential folks.. but then they over-interviewed and have too many candidates for the class?...

Who knows... if only they would tell the size of the waitlist.. lol
 
WL. More waiting.


Why does it seem nearly everyone is waitlisted...
 
This sounds bad for those who are rejected but I really would like to know if they give out any rejection this time and shrink their applicant pool.
 
WL willing to bet no rejections they are prob just wait listing everyone
 
That receive less whining if they wait list you prob
 
Kinda surprised that the only people accepted are those with like 2 posts...
 
Anyone who interviewed in Jan. get an acceptance?
 
Congratulations to those who have been accepted!! Obviously you guys are exceptional 🙂
 
Waitlisted. Wasn't crazy about the school when I visited, guess it showed. Withdrawn.
 
waitlisted...kinda bummed but looks like it's not meant be
 
+1. To be fair, they didn't seem particularly excited about us being there in the first place!
Its all about "fit" in this game.

Congrats to those accepted though!
 
should update letters and letters of interest be uploaded to the portal or emailed?
 
And can someone post what their waitlist letter says?

Dear [YOUR NAME HERE]:



This year the selection of students for the 2015 entering class has been a difficult task as the Committee on Admissions received over 8,000 applications for 150 places. Because of your outstanding record and achievements, you have been placed on the waiting list for admission.

Please keep in mind there is no way to estimate your chances of being accepted from the list. The Admissions Committee will review your application on a regular basis and you will be notified immediately if you are accepted. The list will be maintained through the first day of orientation.

Thank you for your patience and your interest in New York University School of Medicine.



Sincerely,

Rafael Rivera, M.D.

Associate Dean for Admissions & Financial Aid
 
Waitlisted as well, loved NYU so I'll be waiting it out.
