Do you guys know if there is any way to watch the webinar afterwards if you are busy during that time?
Hey I had a question for you if you could possibly answer via private chat? For some reason it's not letting me private chat you, I think you may have to change your settingsI heard decisions went out recently. I just wanted to congratulate everyone who got in. As a member of the NYU family, it's an honor to welcome all of you. You have each worked very hard, and when med school gets tough, just remember that the admission committee selected you for a reason out of the many people who applied. NYU truly is a marvelous place to be. If I can answer any questions/give any insight, please let me know. Congratulations again. Enjoy the moment, med school is tough haha
For a "waitlist thank you," are y'all just uploading it straight to the portal?
Are these "accepted" stats including people who were eventually accepted off of the wait list?Just some info to possibly uplift someone.
Last year:
8253 applied
1031 interviewed
531 accepted
So, ~52% chance acceptance rate
Instate:
181 interviewed
108 accepted
So, ~60% chance accepted
Out state:
850 interviewed
423 accepted
So, ~50% chance
Women:
489 interviewed
270 accepted
So, 55%
Minority:
513 interviewed
290 accepted
So, 57%

Just out of curiosity, where did this statistic come from?
Hi everyone, I am doing interview ratings of schools, here is NYUs:
Love the Murray Hill/Kips Bay/Gramercy area, great research, I despise MMIs, Bellevue provides unmatched clinical experience, I was tremendously put off by the administration's focus on increasing their ranking and trying to beat Columbia. Everyone seemed a little uptight there. Word of mouth, I heard from NYU med students and NYU undergrads that the adcom is less willing to accept their own NYU undergrads or other grad students for admission in favor of poaching all the Ivy league kids and LizzyM 80 kids from other schools, which if true I find kind of despicable and not honorable to do to their own students.
Grade: B-
I thought 3 year was just for accepted people period, not NYU undergrads? If I am wrong about that, I will bump NYU to a B/B+.NYU does have this 3-year accelerated program designed just for their undergrads, so I don't think they're less willing to take their own students.

I will confirm the NYU emphasis on boosting rankings. Seemed kind of childish and insecure. It was also the only Manhattan school I interviewed at that seemed to mention and compare itself to the others.
My alma mater used to have significant placement to NYU med when I was a freshman and before then when I was in high school. They seem to be going for the numbered-centric approach of WashU now lol
Very dumb. It's a really cheap way to boost rankings.
Just because you accept people with higher numbers doesn't mean the "quality" of applicant goes down.
People on SDN always think high stats == robots with no social skills and with lackluster ECs.
If anything, it is the people with higher stats that tend to be "better" in other aspects of their application as well. That is because many of the same traits that lead to higher stats (e.g., ambition, drive, intelligence) are also correlated with having better ECs (or at least the motivation to do those ECs).
NYU's average MCAT is 36. That's the same as schools like Hopkins/Harvard/Stanford which I don't really hear anyone blaming for having non-well-rounded students.
Hopkins/Harvard/Stanford have had their rankings for decades. We just think it is totally artificial the way NYU raised the rankings. NYU is a fantastic school don't get me wrong, definitely one of the strongest in NYC. But it is so artificial that they got rid of their traditional medical student base from at least five years ago and spanning several decades to beat out Columbia and Cornell. I think I read NYU is #34 in 2007 online and is now approaching top 10 status.

That 80k price tag...
So during the webinar I tried to open my Dropbox folder and failed. Then once it's over, I realized one of my hard drives couldn't be recognized by Windows anymore... I am wondering if it has something with the exe file that automatically downloaded from the link sent by nyu admissions... Anyone else having the same issue?

Does NYU have a second look weekend?
Oh god being wait listed is so f ucking stressful
Yes they do. In the Facebook group they said it's April 15-16 and that we should expect more information sometime in mid-February!
Good thing you're never stressed...?
Does anyone know when decisions about scholarships are released? Also, are scholarships offered regardless of whether you file for financial aid?
Or has anyone heard back about merit scholarships??
Apparently between 7 and 9 merit scholarships went out Friday/Monday (3/18 and 3/21)Anyone??
