That's crazy; yeah in South Jordan, rent will be around $1,600ish for a 1-bed - not sure why the 3 bedrooms are so inexpensive. I know if you live at 1 of the dental frats in Minnesota, rent is around $250 a month!
Yep! Though I’m doing a 2 bed 2 bath (in Minneapolis) — will be about 1k a month so not bad
That's not bad at all, pretty similar to me
took a little bit of soul searching but I think it's a pretty good deal, it's not the closest place to school but its close enough that I can walk, probably the largest 2b2b squarefoot wise. Some places wanted 1600/month for 450 sqft, I didn't want to live in a closet! Though I'll probably be at school more than at my apartment lmao
Hey did you receive a waitlist survey or call from NYU ?
That's super nice! Yeah I've been in the hub apartments and for a 1-bed it's 450 sqft 2 beds are 750 sqft lol. You might be at school less than you think. I know a lot of dental students at the UofM who just watch the courses online and show up for the labs & exams.
. Then I had my heart broken 5 days later 
nope!
Congrats!
Were you waitlisted ?
No, I had my interview on March 21 and I heard back today.
Yes， it does. I got one merit-based scholarship.
Thank you! It seems that what I heard is true. They indeed give out way more.
Was the scholarship provided in the acceptance letter?
No, NYU gave me a scholarship one month after I accepted the offer, lol. I don't know what is going on.
Ohh wow, that's nice though!
Me over here!
I email admission and they say they only have 1 interview day left
From what I heard, (not sure if this is true), usually scholarship comes with the offer. However, in my case, one month after I accepted the offer/ paid the 5000 dollar deposits, NYU gave me a 15000 annual scholarship. One thing I do know for sure, the scholarship is merit-based, which means that if your stats or DAT is higher or at least equal to mine, you will most likely get a scholarship. I think this is a reasonable way to estimate whether NYU will give you a scholarship in the future.
it would depend, have you been working on your application after applying? Or just reapplying with no new experiences. Reapplicants are held to higher standards than first-time applicants, so you need to show adcoms you have been improving your application (better DAT scores, Postbacc to improve GPA, more volunteer/research experience, better LORs, more work experience, etc...)
could be your app/interviewing skills, whats your current DAT and GPA?
When were you waitlisted ?
Ohh thank you for letting me know! May I DM you to ask about your stats?
Hey do you recommend affordable place near the school to live in
Of course! happy to help!
I know a lot of current students live in either Waterside Plaza or Stuytown. Both are pretty close to school and with multiple roommates, can be affordable. You could probably find cheaper a little farther way but it just depends on what you value more, close to school or cheaper price.
Do you know any students that rent a 1-bedroom together to save money? Bunk beds lol
That is totally possible! I am willing to bunk bed with someone to save money. OncePreDent, feel free to DM me if want sb to bunk bed together.
I think it's a great idea! I am going to Roseman for Dschool, but I would for sure be looking for a bunk bed roomie or a few if I went to NYU lol. It would be a lot of fun to have a 2 bed 2 bath with 4 people, saves a lot of money too!
I personally don’t know anyone in this situation, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. I know some people will rent a flexed room (a non bedroom room turned into a bedroom). One of my roommates has actually rented out my living room to help cut back on costs.
I just emailed my representative and she forwarded the email to admissions. Got an interview invitation 13 minutes after I sent the email, so you should definitely do this as well!
its a mix of both casual and professional. it started out professional and slowly worked its way to a more casual conversation after opening up the convo. I would be relaxed and just answer the questions to the best that you can. Know your app very well and be able to explain each experience. The post-interview is asking how the faculty interview went and also making sure your prereqs are correct and meet their requirements.
