That's great! Glad to hear the waitlist is moving (although not glad I didn't get in D🙂. Was it through email?
Twitter post around 4:40pm ET:
"Congratulations to all those accepted today to NYU School of Medicine! Hoping to see you in our entering class this summer. @nyuschoolofmed"

Did you send any updates/Letters of intent during the time you were on the waitlist?
No I was basically all ready to go elsewhere haha. I don't even think I sent thank you letters because they told you to upload it to the portal and I was like, oh you don't really care [emoji28]
LM if you don't mind me asking? seeing Washu.. I'm assuming pretty darn high haha
Oh boy. 75 nothing super extreme. ORM.
Withdrew last week. Good luck to waitlistees! 🙂
really hoping for some more movement next week :/
Same here, NYU = Dream School
Does anyone know approximately how often NYU pulls from the wait list? Weekly? Monthly? Randomly?

From what I've inferred, pretty randomly. Only when a spot opens up. I think Monday was the largest chunk of movement (seemed pretty small this year) we will see.
I did.

What was the method of delivery? Through the portal?
I got an email notifying me. Couldn't access it though b.c I withdrew before it came.
I wonder if these numbers are right.... I feel like not even close to 500 people have been accepted yet. Also in their email to us they said that they had ~7300 applications for 132, so the numbers this year should probably be somewhat similar to last year's numbers....
I've been hearing a lot about schools getting algorithms for their wait lists. Which equates to much less waitlist movement. Also that data is from the 2016 US news report before the new data came out. 2017's data is lower...

apparently they accepted more on saturday, according to Dr. Rivera's twitter.
.
there seems to be so little wait list movement this year compared to previous years (at least based on documentation via past SDN threads)
has anybody ever been accepted off the waitlist from mid-June to mid-August?
I just got accepted off the waitlist today around 4 pm CST. I'm totally shocked; I completely assumed NYU was never going to happen and I was getting excited about my state school, which I planned to attend. Now I have a week to decide if I want to shoulder a ton more debt to go to NYU, considering the private school tuition and housing costs (since I could live at home if I go to my state school). It's a good problem to have, but I'm still overwhelmed.
Congrats! But also ouch... how much more is the cost?
As my friend said when I talked to her, "enough to make you vomit."
As I crunch the numbers, I think NYU will be about $120k more. But I have a phone call with financial aid today to see if I have any other options, and I've been researching debt repayment programs, as well as what my monthly payments would look like in relation to the average resident and physician salary in the specialty I'm most considering, and it might just be worth it. I'm probably delusional and it goes against a lot of the advice I have received, but I just might do it.
wow, that does sound pretty difficult. good luck to you!
Congrats please let me know what you decide!
I haven't paid the deposit yet, but I think I'm gonna go for it! I may kick myself for this down the line, but I value experiences more than material things, and as long as I can always afford a place to live and food to eat, I will be happy. NYC has always been the dream, so how can I possibly pass on this opportunity? NYU, here I come!

Same NYU is a dream school and I am hoping for an open spot soon.
bump. Anybody hear anything?
This is my first post on SDN. I came off the wait list today. Unbelievably excited to join everyone at NYU!
Congrats!!... About what time did you hear back?
were you previously accepted to other schools or was this your first acceptance?
Any idea how long it takes for Financial Aid package to become viewable?
First acceptance
Mid afternoon. Didn't check my email til later
Congrats! NYU is a dream school for me
I declined/withdrew my offer, hope one of ya'll gets it!
I am hoping i can get in!!!
did you withdraw today?
Yessir!
Not a current student, but a former NYU accepted student...
I would send in any application updates and if you're seriously committed to going, write a Letter of Intent. I remember discussing this with students last year and the admissions office does accept LOIs. Good luck!
