havent heard anything, but i accepted my offer at downstate so it doesn't matter. still curious though!
I've only heard back from Columbia when they sent out the application checklists but they haven't been responsive with emails at all 🙁
Congrats! Did you have an interview beforehand?
Waitlisted at NYU again. 🙁 Columbia is a hot mess with admissions.
When did you hear back about being waitlisted?

Yesterday around noon.
I also haven't heard back... does anyone know if they send out rejection letters or if I will be just waiting forever if I don't get in? Haha
i got a rejection letter on sunday haha maybe they haven't processed all their applications yet... i'm sure they received a lot
Those that are wait listed or accepted.. Do you guys mind sharing your stats?
Well at least you finally heard back! When did you send in your application?
For Columbia is the portal the checklist? If so, It says they received everything but application is incomplete. I know they've been sending numerous messages that they need time to update it but how long will that take? I called asking and the secretary stated that everyone's portal is incomplete. This a bit confusing.
Still haven't heard anything...
Hey my application also says it's incomplete despite having received everything. I wanted to call/email the office but I figured I would leave it alone since they addressed the issue already and it sounds like they're really backed up on reviewing the applications.
But did you get a checklist email? I got one back in December and my application needed some revisions so I sent those in via email. That was the last time I heard from them.
Someone I know is currently @ NYU and she was initially wait-listed. She told me that a good chunk of her class was wait-listed before being accepted so I would say you have a pretty good chance. Good luck!
Honestly, my checklist from last year is still incomplete (even though I sent everything in.) They aren't very efficient with updating portals.
Did you mail or fax your waitlist form? I just emailed mine and realized they said mail or fax...oops.
I faxed it because I figured it would be quicker than mailing it

Anyone who has been accepted or wait listed at NYU mind sharing your stats?
I believe it is about $1500 per credit... and it is 69 credits
Thanks! I'm having trouble finding out if there are additional fees.
I'm guessing there probably are and that's just tuition haha. Have you been accepted? Do you know if there are a lot of scholarships available?
I just received my checklist .. It still says that my application is incomplete even though everything is but admissions said they just haven't updated that yet
I'm also still waiting... This is nerve-racking because I think we should've received it by now.
Hello Everyone,
I just got wait listed by NYU today and still have not received a check list from Columbia. Does anyone know if the earlier you know about being on the wait list the better chance you have? How big is the wait list? When do the accepted students have to send in their deposits by? Thank you and Good Luck!
My Stats:
Kean University GPA: 3.9
Pre-Req- 3.8
Bergen Community College GPA: 3.7
57 hours in observations in two different settings. Therapeutic Recreation Student. Practicum with people with developmental disabilities. Currently completing internship at a psychiatric hospital to complete my bachelors.

Congrats! When do you have to accept and make your first deposit by?
Hey guys! It seems that they're still processing applications. They say that you are not going to be penalized for their tardiness!
I did not. Do you happen to know how big the waitlist is and if it is better that we have been notified early? I know someone who has not heard of anything yet.
I'm not certain on the scholarships. I received an email with outside scholarships listed, and I know that Steinhardt does have a graduate scholarship, but I can't find any info on how common it is to receive one/the typical amount received. I know the OT program itself offers no scholarships.

Thank you, hopefully we get in. I have heard that a good chunk of people get in off of the waitlist. However, that varies each year.
I'm wondering if they have already accepted everybody and are just sending out rejections/wait list now?? Still waiting for an email and so anxious haha
Hey! Yes I also got the second email about being on the waitlist.. I was thinking that it may confirm that they received the waitlist response form ?
That makes sense. I will let you guys know if I receive the same email. I just faxed my form in last night.
Just a little insight into the waiting game from last year... I was waitlisted at NYU and rejected by Columbia. My Columbia portal from last year still says it is incomplete. I did get a few responses from Columbia while trying to verify items, but eventually they stopped responding and I was sent a rejection. NYU keeps you on the waitlist until the end of August, in the event that someone drops out last minute or their deposit doesn't go through. I assume the waitlist is the same amount of students as the ones who were accepted, but I could be wrong. The first wave of students accepted off the waitlist were notified at the end of April. The waitlist is choppy after that, but I kept hearing that it was common for students to be accepted up until the Friday before the semester started.
