Thanks for that great summary!
- 92 MDs, 10+ MD/PhDs will be in this year’s class
- 165-170 students on the waitlist (original intent was to have 200 or fewer on it)
- 20 have withdrawn As and 100 have kept their As so far
- More PTE than last year at the same time (~20% increase from last year)
- NYU will only accept people once the number of held As drops below 92
- Students will drop all but 1 A on April 30, expect waitlist movement after May 1: either May 1 in the afternoon or May 2
- Dean Rivera estimates 75 students will remain PTE after Apr 30 (so ~17 students from the waitlist will join NYU’s class)
- Expect 30-50 additional acceptance offers (of which some will decline)
- Unusual for withdrawals/any more acceptances in June: 0, 1, or 2 maximum
- Check your email! Notification only by email. 1 week to accept.
- Email will include an invitation to Brightspace instance for accepted students
- Lots of information about financial aid, student housing, health forms, and recordings of previous Zoom meetings will provided
- Office hours on May 7
- In-person campus event on Wed, May 8 (tentative)
- What to do in the meantime?
- Update letters are accepted but do not have a meaningful impact (unless there was a tremendous accomplishment)
- LOI dated after Apr 23 should only be sent if you might be forced to drop waitlists to CTE on Apr 30
- Send ANOTHER LOI if the previous one is dated before Apr 23 (you can just resend a copy of the earlier one with a new date )
- Keep LOIs and update letters separate because the admissions committee does not review LOIs
- Financial aid is minimum full tuition (FAFSA is still mandatory)
- 2234 CSS profile code, 002785 FAFSA code
- Submit CSS the same day as receiving an A
- Financial aid offers will be made within ~2-3 days
- The waitlist is not ranked! Everyone would be valued as a member of the class. I.e. they draw from the WL to keep a balanced class, e.g. geographic/gender diversity.
- 3-year pathway open slots:
- 5 people in this entering class have already taken spots
- Both neurology slots are filled
- 1 ortho taken (of 2)
- 1 EM taken (of 2)
- The WL will be whittled down ASAP, mostly rapidly when the class is filled to 92 students
- Rs will likely start in mid-May, most will be complete by the end of May
- CTE is June 17th for NYU
- By mid to late June, the WL will be at 10-15 students
