2018-2019 NYU School of Medicine

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Glad I found people just like me...
I want to do a little of my own stalking...but how did you find out who is a member of the group?
I'm in the group

Hi guys! Congrats to all of you who have gotten accepted and good luck to the rest of you waiting! I just wanted to clarify the difference between the two Facebook groups. One group is run by current students where accepted applicants can ask us any questions that you may have (no admissions people there to see what you're asking, so feel free to ask anything). The other group is run by the Office of Admissions—they post about upcoming in-person and digital events for all accepted students to tune into.

As always, if you guys have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Do you guys know if there are any more direct acceptances going out? Or will it be strictly wait list from now on?

Ok. So there have been 2 tweets in the last week about acceptances going out but it has been silence on here. Does anyone know of anyone accepted in the last week? I don’t think I’ve seen anything on here.

The admitted face book group count seems to be going up though

Damn, we missed our opportunity to make a list of everyone's name in the group before the new acceptances were sent out. Then we could see who joined, and cross reference them to usernames on SDN or see if they are current NYU students already.

This thread's been pretty quiet but everyone who was deferred is supposed to hear back this month, so there will probably be large waves of rejections and wait lists this week or next. Maybe a few acceptances too

It's gotta be coming within the next 2 weeks unless they decide to delay again.

All decisions coming tomorrow! Can't wait for this juicy, fresh R straight from Dean Riviera

Is it safe to assume that if we haven't gotten a call by now, all decisions that go out tomorrow will be either waitlists or rejections?

It's safe to assume that at best only a small handful of acceptances are left to go out tomorrow and there are plenty of us left, so while ALL decisions may not be WL/R, the vast majority will be. The real question at this point is how many they're going to WL

Based on Dean Rivera's numbers, about 400 people are about to be hit with that fat R tomorrow all at once. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure riding this ship with you. Like the Titantic band, I will keep playing as the ship is sinking.

Nah man, I applied to the 3-year MD pathway, if I get the R, I'm taking this as an R for both medical school and residency.

nah, it'd simply be med school R
correct.
The residency directors are not getting the fast-track applications until AFTER a particular student is accepted. And since most of the residencies are only accepting at most one student, most students who come off the waitlist will not be considered, as the residency PD's in each specialty will be likely making their final decisions before non-rolling March acceptances at HYPCC, etc. Of course, if one of these fast-track accepted students decides to go elsewhere, then a spot could open up in NYU fast-track programs. (Unlikely, but there will be superhero-type applicants who will hear in March from the non-rolling schools, and get financial aid and merit packages elsewhere that might make the NYU tuition deal moot. And someone with entire support system in another city, with a very good fin aid package in that city, might sanely choose that school over NYU).

Lolol sorry if I wasn’t clear, I didn’t mean it literally. Was just joking. Also, there is an option to enter the 3-year MD after first year so you’re not shut out even if your the last one to get in off waitlist

Really hoping I don't get any emails from NYU today lol

Anything yet?
I find that whenever one group of people has to give another group of people bad news, Friday afternoons are usually the time of choice. That way the bearers of bad news can go home and enjoy the weekend while the unhappy recipients have a weekend to calm down and begin to move on..

NYU’s pre-II mass rejection happened on a Friday evening, so I expect the same here
