Rejected off the waitlist...still doesn't make sense to me that you can be rejected after being put on the waitlist. Why not just be rejected the first time?

I got accepted into Columbia today!!
So I'm still on the waitlist for NYU.

My dilemma is that Columbia wants a response by April 5, 2017.
I'd love to go to NYU but I'm not sure when they will start picking people off the waitlist? Would it be after the deadline to accept their offer? When is NYUs deadline?

Congrats! I was waitlisted at NYU as well & waiting to hear back from Columbia. How much is Columbia's deposit ?

Thanks!
I hope I hear back from NYU soon. I really prefer nyu because of distance. So much more convenient for me .
Anyways, Columbias deposit is 500 and needs to be in 2 weeks after getting accepted.

So hopefully nyu accepts me soon and takes me off the waitlist. It seems like they are pulling people off the waitlist randomly.
At first I thought they would wait until April 17, which is the date that those accepted need to decide whether they are attending or not.
 
Just submitted my deposit for nyu! I received two emails that my payment was processed! Were you able to activate your nyu email ?

No I haven't yet. I thought we were supposed to get the link to the graduate orientation portal after we submitted our deposit? Haven't gotten that yet!

Just called and the person I spoke to said to just keep a look out for our emails and also to try and attend the admitted students reception to get any other questions answered. I also realized that the admitted students page tells us that our emails won't be activated till April 15th
 
I'm still on the waitlist for NYU..has anyone heard back yet if you are on the waitlist? Have you contacted them? I'm also waiting to hear from Columbia.

I don't know if I can get to the accepted students reception. I'm from New Hampshire and it's on a Wednesday night haha. Too bad it's not a Friday or Saturday.

Has Anyone that got waitlisted for NYU received a change in their application status?
Has anyone gone from waitlisted to accepted or rejected yet?

I got accept to Columbia but I really want to go to nyu. Columvbias deadline to accept the offer is creeping up fast though!!

I haven't had a change in my waitlist status. I'm still waiting for Columbia 🙁 I was thinking of reaching out to NYU but I don't want to be too persistent

someone above us was waitlisted -> rejected. I haven't seen anyone waitlisted -> accepted. I haven't been notified of either. After seeing the tuition of the school i'm currently enrolled in, I'm thinking NYU might not be that far of a stretch for me if i get off
 
Is anyone here attending the admitted students reception for sure? If so, can you let me know if they mention anything important...I won't be able to attend, but I can't wait to meet you guys when the semester starts!🙂

I'll be attending! If I learn anything new/important about the program I'll be happy to report it here 🙂
 
I will not be attending the reception either so if someone could fill us in if there is any important information mentioned, please!
 
Attended the reception, pleasure meeting all of you (I was the car guy on that pink slip). I've decided I won't be attending and will send an email to the program, hopefully my slot will free up for someone on the wait list.

It was nice meeting you! What did you decide?

I got into D'Youville College in Buffalo, and per our convo last night, was also waiting for Seton Hall. After crunching all the numbers and some serious introspection decided to join my fiance in Buffallo who's also finishing her residency there. I think it's the best decision for me personally since I'll be saving on living expenses and tuition and most importantly, I'll be with her.

I know it is still early but did anyone who officially accepted their offer get emails regarding scheduling/advising?

Hi guys I don't mean to be a bug but anyone heard off the waitlist yet? This is so nerve wracking!
