Hi! I am still waiting to hear back as well.
Got a call from them on the 28th of October to schedule an interview. I submitted my application end of August. Hope this helps!
Did you interview with them? It sounds like it took a long time for them to set up an interview for you.
Yeah, I interviewed with them this past Saturday. I didn't receive an email invitation but maybe if you don't answer the call they'll send an email out instead?
That's helpful to know. How was the interview, if you don't mind sharing?
It was very laid back! I interviewed with a professor and an alumni. Basic interview questions, strengths, weaknesses, why PT, why NYU, how do you overcome challenges and step outside of your comfort zone, etc.
Thanks! This is very helpful.
By any chance, did NYU say when they might get back to you of their decision after the interview?
I wanna say minimum of 2 weeks until January, but im not entirely sure
Thanks for the info! Hoping for an interview invite soon. Did they also give you a tour or anything like that?
They gave a tour of the facility itself which was literally just one floor and three rooms, a little underwhelming if im being honest lol, but they give another optional tour of the surrounding areas after the interview if you'd like.
Wow didn’t expect such a small facility.
Congratulations!!
Thank you so much!! I sent in my application on Oct. 3rd and interviewed on Nov. 11th
Was your interview also very laid back? Also, did they contact you by phone?
The interview was super laid back and I felt very comfortable even though it was my first in-person interview, I was early so I first went to talk to current students and they were so kind and welcoming. Then I interviewed with one professor and two alumni; very typical interview questions, and then they opened it to me for questions. We had unlimited time to do a writing sample which was very straightforward (I took about 30 minutes on it, to handwrite max one page)Then I took a tour of the building, which as stated above was underwhelming, but I know the clinical connections they have are so incredible and make up for the classically lackluster NYC building. I am out of state and was also accepted to my state school with tuition being less than half the price of NYU, so it's really hard to justify. They emailed me about an update in my NYU portal for the acceptance, but had previously called me for the interview.
I didn't realize there was a writing portion. What did you have to write about, if you don't mind sharing.
Congrats!! Me too 🙂 But yeah def can't justify the cost lol
Wow, congratulations to you too!!
from jersey so pretty close!
I see you also applied to U of Pitt. I put residential as first choice, open to hybrid. More and more, I am thinking hybrid could be a good, cost effective option. Did you apply to residential or hybrid?
I applied to both but put hybrid as my first option since it'll be more cost-effective. I'm heavily leaning towards Arcadia's Hybrid program tho.
Got it. I didn't even know hybrid programs existed until I looked into U. of Pitt.
they're both relatively the same! but Arcadia is an hour from home vs Pitt is around 6 hours so cost of travel for the immersions etc Arcadia ends up being cheaper for me!
I see. That's great that you have many options to consider and choose from! It's been good to talk through this process with others on the forum. Hope all goes well for you.
For sure! Best of luck to you too!!!
Hey,
Hey,
Hey, not sure if this helps but I just got notified today that I got waitlisted for NYU. I am not sure if anybody is in the same boat but I believe they do let you know on the result. I would try emailing the department.
Thanks I will email them.
