Waitlist!
Same here so I stared reviewing last year's thread. It looks like there are some acceptances after people started announcing wait lists. And I didn't see anyone announce a rejection this early. So we may have a chance.

I sure hope so, good luck to you!
Hardly. I think they just waitlist everyone post-interview and then if you don't hear back, well yeah...
It looks like the waitlist started moving at the beginning of may last year.
Did everyone on the WL get the email at the same time? I'm so stressed here, can't get any work done.

Womp womp. Do they even reject anyone?

Waitlisted! Anyone know how many people they usually put on the waitlist and how many they usually end up taking off?
I found a few people that were rejected two years ago, no one last year.
Wait list as well. LM ~ 73. Anyone have any insight into our chances of getting off it based on past years?
It almost seems like they slipped and accidentally revealed its the same thing.
Waitlisted :/
I hope they're not the same! waitlisted earlier today. Any insight as to how much waitlilst movement there usually is? Im assuming this year will be less than most as they are decreasing their class size this year
I got mine at 12:26 PM ET
No email, very curious to see if I am accepted or WLed. This does not seem like the type of school that does a lot of post-interview rejections.
I think that makes 4 of us in here. I like my chances now better than I did yesterday, but that's not saying much.
That exactly describes my feelings of optimism and disappointment lol

Still waiting to hear back, interviewed early December. 76 LizzyM
I'm an October interview, 3.9/37. I think that's around LM 76 but I don't remember.
This is probably more of a general question, but isn't there a date by which you can only hold a seat at one school and have to officially "withdraw" from all others? If that's the case, how are people moving around on the waitlist after that?
That date is April 30th. I don't know the answer to your second question.
Hold seat at one school, drop it and accept seat at different school if offered.
Oh I totally misinterpreted that second part. I read it as how much are people moving around after that date. Whoops!
Yep, just got my rejection too. Good luck everyone else.
Yeah the smaller class size could pose an issue. Really, I wouldn't expect much movement from waitlists at top schools until March, when a bunch of top non-rolling schools release their decisions and people start letting go of back-ups/multiple offers.
rejected
The follow up email just now about the financial aid webinar was not appreciated given today's WL email...

As if their position could possibly be in doubt at this point
WL 🙁 well, I'm holding on to hope with this one. Loved NYU.
Sorry to hear about the rejections guys! It does, however, mean that the WL isn't just a hollow gesture.
Do you guys know if there is any way to watch the webinar afterwards if you are busy during that time?
