This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
people who got interviews after the hold; did you send an update letter?
 
Also to add- recently interviewed and left really, really impressed

But I know it’s a crapshoot so trying not to get my hopes up 😳

My first MMI today and it wasn’t as stressful as I thought it would be. Your broken into two groups (1 interviews while the others tour).

Lunch was super good! Probably the best lunch I’ve had amongst all interviews, even though it was just sandwiches.

Tour was also long. Girls- I think it’s acceptable to bring flats or whatever you girls call them and change into them for the tour bc id imagine heels are brutal

Students were amazing. Super nice, happy, and communicative- you will have plenty of opportunity to interact w them.

Were the MMI prompts more situational or personal? And are the stations (except 12 min trad) closed-file?

What are the odds y'all think that not receiving a hold = soft R at this point? Submitted late july

I think the odds are zero. Why would they care enough about your feelings to give you a "soft" R instead of a regular R? Because your high stats mean they might want to come back to you? That's the definition of a hold!

Despite your early submission and high stats, you are simply, clearly, for whatever reason not in some preferred category that received an early review, so you have nothing (no II, Hold or R), which, logically, can only mean they are not done reviewing you yet!!! 🙂

As all of the adcoms keep saying, you just have to chill and be patient. Everyone seems to think they should be at the top of the pile, and they freak out when other people receive a response and they don't. They literally have over 6,000 applications to go through, and there have been around 8 weeks since you submitted. Why would you possibly think no action on your application during that time means anything other than you are not an auto R and they haven't finished reviewing you yet???

Ya I swear it’s not even oct and I know people acting like II are over...

IIRC I think only about 1/3 of all have been sent out and most schools have a bunch to go.

Dean of admissions said that those "continued review" emails were sent to everybody who had yet to receive an interview decision but was complete by a certain date, and that it's very possible nobody had even looked at your application yet.

They were very transparent, and I appreciate this a lot.

Guess they shouldn't have written "we've received and reviewed your application" lol

When you all them, it sounds like a commercial company on the phone. When you email them, they auto-responded with totalyl a non-sequitur about their News feature in the 60 mins a thousand years ago.... Totally turned off by them.

Lol I did get that same auto respond about the 60 min segment. Found it pretty funny tbh
 
You be surprised what money can do to people and places. I mean strategically it’s one of the places that makes sense for me to go. I don’t have to move anywhere and I like the village. But they are making me hate them. Lol
 
For those wondering, this was the auto reply.

Seriously I was searching and trying to post it too. So bizarre given this happened more than a year ago.

Lol because I'm neurotic af and this process seems crafted to extrude as much anxiety from us as possible!

With your stats, it is highly likely you are going to do very well! I'm sure you already have several IIs, correct? Given the attention NYU is sure to get this year, and given what I have to believe will be a tremendous spike in applications caused by the publicity around free tuition, I really wouldn't focus on NYU and wouldn't consider it to be indicative of how anyone's cycle will go. This sucks for me personally, since it's a school I think I would have been very competitive for before this year, and would have otherwise been a great match for me, but I have a feeling that I am going to have zero chance for an A when I apply given how crazy competitive it is starting this year.

Except it’s a big “we couldn’t care less about you applicants, because we are NYU” vibe.

Yeah, you're right, but that's what happens when a T10 school doesn't charge tuition. Are you considering making a stand by withdrawing your application? If not, then the way they are treating people isn't going to hurt them at all!

It happened a year ago, but the segment just aired a few months ago, and this is the first cycle, starting from June 1st, where everyone knows the deal.
