i didn’t get an email?!!?! anyone else?!

That is definitely a good sign!! Check your portal!! it will say WL or Rejection with a green check probably

 

[echogecko]

waitlisted

 

[soccerkid96]

waitlisted!

 

[aleezard21]

WL

 

[Moose97]

Got the R

 

[diazonium]

Got that WL

 

[heybatterbatter]

Waitlisted. Any ideas how many people are placed on the waitlist?

 

[prw0011]

R

 

[diazonium]

I think around 350-400, but not completely certain

 

[np9619]

WL

 

[LadyGlen]

Waitlisted. Didn't get an email, but checked the portal

 

[diazonium]

Has anyone gotten accepted from 12/12 - 12/15?

 

[SplashMountain12]

R - not really upset. I didnt really like the school, so I’m kinda glad I’m not in a situation where I would be pressured to go somewhere I don’t like because of financial reasons.

 

[freedoctor17]

WL

 

[littlefishbigpond3270]

nvm it went to spam.....waitlisted!

 

[JetsSB3champs]

Fat R

 

[Westsidewonder]

WL

Damn seems like there are a LOT of us

 

[yoba]

Dean Rivera said by my interview that he wouldn't be waitlisting many people, and if you got on the WL you have a real shot of being accepted

 

[Westsidewonder]

Anybody know how the waitlist is organized? Is there any way to see a relative rank? Is that even a thing? Hard to imagine they’d look back at 300-400 (can it really be that big?!) applications every time a spot opened up...

 

[diazonium]

Contemplating calling and asking approximately how many people were placed on the WL

You'd be a hero

That sounds like it might open up some discrimination lawsuits but I'm down for it . I was thinking we hash this thing out hunger games style though

Just got the fire WL. So does anyone know what the chances are of getting in? I already sent a letter of intent earlier this week.

+1000000 for the waitlist. I'm still really excited about this school, looks like it'll be months more to wait.

Two waitlists in one day... oh well, what can you do.

 

[puahate]

Is it even worth applying to NYU with a 66 LM URM for next cycle? Seems like a crapshoot.

 

[aspiringMD47]

Waitlisted! Hope there’s a chance for us

This is by my math, can't speak to its validity
Dean Rivera said he expected a 60% yield and planned on placing approximately 1/3 of the interview group on the WL. With 92 MD slots, for a 60% yield, approximately 150 acceptances are handed out. 1/3 of the interview group is approximately 300-350 people. So there are an additional 50 slots (100 total sent out already) for 300-350 people, for a post WL acceptance rate of 14%

If you have a stellar app outside of your stats and don't mind it potentially being a donation I would say go ahead. It's hard to say how strict they will be with URM. Unlike ORM high Stat applicants, there are only so many high Stat URMs, so 66 LM could still be considered at top schools if the rest of the app is top-notch

Waitlisted! Pleasantly surprised tbh. Dean Rivera said LOIs are pretty useless at NYU, right?

I think I remember him saying they were only useful if you were on the waitlist, so it might be worth a shot if it's your first choice!

I applaud you for being so thorough who knows hopefully both of us are a part of that 14!%

Just got placed on the waitlist. Though it might as well be an R, since I doubt any accepted student is gonna turn down free tuition. Then again, one can dream.

Maybe that means you got in I got the WL email earlier today

 

[yoba]

So did everyone who got the post interview hold email also get the WL?

 

[hedgedoge]

Waitlisted... not really hoping for an acceptance at this point since it seems the waitlist pool is deep

 

[Ashesd]

Nope, I was on hold then got the rejection

 

[chick_fil_eyyy]

I never even got the post interview hold at all, then waitlisted.

Don't forget the accepted students that get free tuition else where as well due to scholarships.

Just did. WL

 

[DrFortiusNatando]

So curious if any acceptance calls have gone out/are going out today

Last batch of acceptances went out last week. Today was all WL and R. Many of the accepted students however are the same ones who will be getting good fin aid and merit awards at other places, and may not find out about these other offers (including HYPCC) until Mid-march or later if from WL.
