2014-2015 New York University Application Thread

[ColDocUSA]

Just withdrew. Although NYU was my top choice when this process started, finances helped me make the very difficult decision of going to another school I really liked. Good luck to everyone on the WL!

How is the NYU waitlist structured?

How is the NYU waitlist structured?

They don't share anything with applicants about their waitlist process other than they'll keep you on the list until classes start.

 

[Bovary]

NYU Admissions just said, via twitter:

"We are sending out more acceptances today. Please be sure to check your email to see if you've been accepted!"

 

[KangarooFarmer]

1:38pm (PT) has passed Does that mean nothing for me?

 

[bluejay456]

^ 1:38?

 

[KangarooFarmer]

just a silly speculation . It looks like that was the time they usually send out decisions

 

[lawlzi]

is it safe to assume that they've already been sent out today?

 

[gracekelly530]

Well I just got accepted!!!!

 

[Bovary]

is it safe to assume that they've already been sent out today?

I wouldn't assume anything ever about medical school admissions.

 

[gracekelly530]

Though am extremely paranoid because I also got a fake interview invite initially.

 

[Bovary]

Well I just got accepted!!!!

O nvm jk go ahead and assume stuff!

(Congrats!)

 

[bluemachine]

Well I just got accepted!!!!

congrats! can you check your nyu portal to see if your acceptance is reflected there? omgggg i really hope they are sending out waves and this isn't all the WL acceptances D:

 

[KangarooFarmer]

CONGRATTSSS !!!... But is that it for today?

 

[gracekelly530]

congrats! can you check your nyu portal to see if your acceptance is reflected there? omgggg i really hope they are sending out waves and this isn't all the WL acceptances D:

Yes! It said accepted. Then when I paid my deposit it said matriculated.

 

[OrbitalOverload]

Yes! It said accepted. Then when I paid my deposit it said matriculated.

OMG congrats! Just to confirm, you were accepted off the waitlist right?

 

[gracekelly530]

OMG congrats! Just to confirm, you were accepted off the waitlist right?

Yes I was waitlisted on that day in February when it seemed like everyone on the thread was. I sent an update letter/LOI (i mostly intended it as a LOI, but I did have some substantial updates) a couple days after.

Other stats people might be interested in: LM ~72, non-trad, from NYC originally, and j was going to matriculate in another (lower-ranked) NYC school prior to getting off WL.

 

[bluemachine]

got off the WL this morning!!! first acceptance and couldn't be happier

 

[Temerit]

Can someone please share the NYUSOM match results? I can't find them.

They were posted earlier in this thread

 

[anna.bell2]

Surprised we're not seeing more waitlist movement- fingers crossed for next week!

 

[tty2]

Yea I'm surprised too. I don't want to be pessimistic, but it might just be that they aren't going to rely on the WL much this year.

 

[Yoncé]

I'm just hoping that SDN is not a true representation of the people actually getting accepted. But yea, there has been very little movement in comparison to previous years. Also, the Facebook group has a lot of people in it but some people in the group are going to other schools. Just have to stay positive!

 

[bluemachine]

i just withdrew my WL acceptance from NYU. i really loved the school, but another school just edged it out by a small margin. best of luck to those on the WL

 

[Bovary]

Accepted today off WL. Hoping that financial aid will come through since it'd be tough to pay full COA at NYU over my scholarship at a comparable school (albeit in a less exciting city).

 

[parplesnarps]

Accepted off the WL today at 11:10! I'm thrilled!

 

[mason123]

Did anyone accepted off the waitlist send a letter of intent?

 

[gracekelly530]

Did anyone accepted off the waitlist send a letter of intent?

Yep sent one a couple days after I got waitlisted way back in February. Also included a bunch of updates.

 

[mattg793]

Any more movement recently?

 

[OrbitalOverload]

Any more movement recently?

@gyngyn reported that there was some movement this past Friday..

 

[PureLife93]

is there gonna be anymore movement?

 

[KangarooFarmer]

is there gonna be anymore movement?

That's the million-dollar question you are asking there, my friend.

 

[joyfulcynic]

@gyngyn reported that there was some movement this past Friday..

Out of curiosity, how did gyngyn know that? I thought he/she was faculty at a California school...

 

[OrbitalOverload]

I believe that waitlisted applicants at Gyngyns school also tend to apply to schools in the NY area. Since gyngyn can see if a waitlisted applicant at his/her school is accepted to a different particular school (in this case NYU), he/she can infer waitlist movement

 

[jykee123]

Is it about time to give up on the WL movement? Seems like the waitlist is barely moving this year.

 

[BioEngMD]

Didn't apply here but I just wanted to let those of you still waiting know that a friend of mine was accepted off the waitlist this morning, so movement is still happening.

 

[OrbitalOverload]

Accepted off the waitlist yesterday!

 

[Bovary]

Shoutout to my faded purple NYU langone drawstring bag for helping me ferry beer to a dozen events since interview day, standing in for a man purse. How uncool will I be to continue that role come August in New York???

 

[gatawatago]

Super super basic question. Are NYU's preclinical years pass/fail or graded? And if P/F, is is true P/F or is there any sort of internal ranking?

In addition, can someone who went to the second look day message me privately? I had a few questions because I was not able to attend - thanks so much!

 

[Bovary]

NYU is unfortunately not a "true" P/F pre-clinical curriculum.
To quote http://webdoc.nyumc.org/nyumc/files/studentaffairs/u9/Alpha_Omega_Alpha_Medical_Honor_Society.pdf

The preclinical curriculum at the NYU School of Medicine is graded and recorded by the Office of Registration and Student Records on a pass/fail basis. In order to inform discussion of students for election to membership in AOA, the Office, at the conclusion of each curricular module, asks each module director for a list of the students who performed in the top quarter of the class for that particular unit of study. Students are assigned a number of weighted "points" that correspond to the number of times he or she appears in the high-performance group for each module. Those points, divided by the total number of points possible for any one student to achieve, constitute a "pre-clinical percentage."​

So is this waitlist moving or what?

 

[Banco]

So is this waitlist moving or what?

Its basically on an individual basis. So someone would have to withdraw for there to be movement; unlikely at this stage.
