Got the impression that once you’re interviewed at NYU, the decision to admit or reject or hold is based on the MMI score

On my interview day the dean said they review your whole app again!

Back to back missed calls from a 212 number today, not able to call the number back. Odds that it’s NYU vs spam call? Can anyone who has been accepted speak to how long they wait to call back/update portal/email??

Ooooo don’t want to get your hopes up but Dean Rivera did say he calls twice when giving out acceptances so it could possibly be it.

Edit: when did you interview btw

Wouldn’t he leave a voicemail after the second call?

This happened to me a month ago or so (back to back calls and all). When I called back it led to the NYU Langone operator. I haven’t heard back since, so I’m convinced it was just a really unfortunate spam call from a spoofed number. Hoping you have more luck!

They tweeted that some people were accepted on Friday (which is why I wondered if it could be them and not spam)! No idea if those are people who never got put on hold though

My guess is that they are still only accepting the ‘top’ of the most recent interviews and haven’t yet doubled back to the hold list. As such, they’ll be done with the interviews and first-pass-top Acceptances in January which will let them move to hold list review. But this is just SWAG.
 
Can someone who was accepted PM me the number they got called from? I got a missed call from another NYC number but I’m currently in India so I don’t wanna use international minutes to call a scam number back haha

You’ve spent thousands of dollars applying to schools, and you won’t spend a couple of bucks to call back?

Not everyone has the money...many get waivers to apply. This sounds so entitled and reeks of privilege, and can be very hurtful to many of us here.

No matter how you slice it, it’s still penny wise and pound foolish.
Even with aid, the post essentially said should I call or not spend the minutes.
 
Agreed! I’m not even someone who got a few waiver but I’ve never understood the attitude that having spent a lot of money means that you shouldn’t ever try to save a little!

Anyway I tried to call back but every time it’s said “user busy” so not sure y’all! Also one accepted user PMed me and it is a different number.

If it helps, Dean Rivera emailed me to schedule a time to talk when he couldn't reach me on my cell.

Why 30? Most NYU acceptances are offered after February. Only a small percentage are rolling.

Sounds about right.
When / where did you hear ~70?
A week or so ago some on SDN said about ~56.
Do we know when their interview dates end? I estimated about 20-30 of the first 110 come from the post II hold list, then the remaining 40 or so acceptances late in the season.

Interviews ended 12/12. They're sending out a total of 110 acceptances as of mid-January. As people begin to withdraw/turn down acceptances, they'll start extending additional acceptances to people on the waitlist.
 
Last week (week of 9/12) when I interviewed, the dean said they’d accepted 58. So there’s at least 52 acceptances left or so. 30 is way overblown

Thanks. So after the Dec 13 and 20th end of Interview Acceptances, the corrected number for January Acceptances is closer to 45-50!
 
So I haven't received a follow-up email saying that my application is under review post interview. I thought Dean Rivera said that we would receive an update email.


Edit: placed on post Interview hold.

Same. This could mean we’ve been reviewed and passed over right? Like not good enough for an outright acceptance?

I don't know. I mean NYU was a long shot for me anyways, so I am not surprised. Gotta keep expectations really low. At least, I know this chapter is close to being over.
 
Rejected post-ii, interviewed early December!!
I thought it was a hold email at first and I was ECSTATIC and then I read it and was like
