WL damn

 

[catmullclark]

Waitlisted!

 

[avengers_assemble]

Does anyone know if they are sending out rejections today? Or is it only WLs/acceptances?

 

[Longshot6]

Waitlisted. okay, I can deal with that

 

[doopdewoo]

Waitlisted! Does anyone know anything about the waitlist movement?

 

[docr3]

Waitlisted, congrats to everyone who was accepted !!

 

[mscandy]

WL by portal. Saw this one coming. I'm just glad it's not an R

 

[camb370]

Waitlisted! Just glad it's not an R. Never thought I'd be this relieved to be waitlisted

 

[ginkgo5]

WL! "Our waiting list will be active through the first day of orientation." Gee, thanks for the very specific timeline...

In all seriousness, congrats/best of luck to everyone! I'm off to decompress and have some well-deserved junk food

 

[Checklist]

No email yet, but WL on the portal. At my interview day Dean Rivera told us that their WL is real and has movement unlike some other schools, so being waitlisted could realistically translate into an acceptance down the road. Good luck to everyone!

 

[extramilemed]

ACCEPTED VIA EMAIL!

 

[TheVisionary]

Waitlisted! Does anyone know anything about the waitlist movement?

WL! Phew, I would've WL/R'd myself probably lol, so glad it was the WL.

FWIW, at my interview I was told that NYU doesn't do "sympathy WLs," because in a sense it is dishonest. I also heard that there is WL movement, and some WL'd-->A'd applicants got scholarships!

 

[Ezra Redden]

Lol Rejected. No harm done, I stand by what I said prior.

 

[jetlae]

WL as well. congrats to all accepted

I guess this is a good time to send in a letter of intent? what's the last day i can realistically send this in? cause i'm waiting on a couple other places and i don't want to be dishonest to NYU and tell them they are my absolute top choice lol (at least at the moment). serious question cause i really don't know how this works

 

[abs5394]

Rejected as well

 

[PremedKidOnTheBlock]

[clarquenti]

Rejected...

 

[Formyfuture]

Rejected lol

 

[EUNJI967335]

Just got the R! damn I am on a rejection/waitlist streak!

 

[halamadrid17]

WL, congrats to all accepted

 

[ginkgo5]

Maybe this will be released later, but anyone heard anything about numbers accepted/waitlisted? in previous years, when did WL movement start?

 

[mscandy]

I'm not an expert, but I found this thread. Hopefully it helps! Good luck!

IMO don't send it yet. I assume you'll hear from the other school by March or mid-Feb? You don't want to be in a pickle if you get into NYU post-LOI and the other school normally. Personally NYU is one of my top 3 choices but I'm going to wait to hear back from the other 2 before I would send NYU a LOI

The only day Dean Rivera tweeted a congrats to those accepted last year after the January date was May 3rd

 

[Appellatelove]

Waitlisted. I’m just so relieved to finally know!!!!!!

 

[HungryHungryHorse]

WLed, wonder if I should send a letter of interest. Already sent an update so not sure if it's important to send something else.

Thanks, that's what I figured as well

Rejected ouch makes sense given the 50X mcat score I have. Silly silly process I hate how they do their admissions they should have sent the email two days ago. Also makes me wonder why they made me buy a flight to go to ny anyways

Lol I think they decided to sit back and troll some of us knowing we had little to no chance of getting in. I look at it like this, at least I know where not to apply for residency.

 

[DBC03]

WL - so relieved!

Bloody day for Manhattan today

 

[chr23]

Waitlisted. Not surprised since my MMI went kinda meh...Still, I like NYU and feel a little disappointed

[ndfmd10]

Also on the waitlist! Seems like a lot of people got the same today, like everyone else would love to know some info about the amount of movement it typically has

 

[Yogi2008]

WL, congratulations to all accepted.

WL, not complaining!!!

 

[ginkgo5]

^ me tryna survive in NYC. perhaps being waitlisted is for the best.

Joining the waitlist club :/

 

[calimass]

Waitlisted here. I do remember them saying at the interview that they don't accept an awful lot of students on the first pass but rather slowly accept students until they fill the class size.

Ayy. I hope so.

Makes sense. Only those who are accepted outright can apply to their 3-year program (or as first years, but this requires prior commitment). Might be wise to limit the number of non commital apps?

Lol time to go cut this nyu drawstring in half lololol

BWAHAHAHAHA I've been using the pen they gave us - it writes so smooth! but wth am i going to do with that lanyard???

You're right. Also I would imagine accepting students in small chunks would allow them to fill their class earlier on rather than waiting until July as several schools do.

 

[Longshot6]

Lol I find it intresting too that their decision date is right before the multiple acceptance report. They can see all the schools where the accepted/waitlisted people have been accepted to. I wonder if that plays a factor for us waitlisted individuals.
