I got waitlisted at NYU and am keeping my fingers crossed. I loved this school when I visited, though my interview was a little blah. My stats are 3.74/34.
I'm wondering if there's anything else that I can do to increase my chances of getting in. Does anyone know what NYU's policy is about sending letters of intent? Anyone else in the same position? 😀
 
I'm in the same position. I thought my interview was a little blah too. My interviewer was extremely friendly and I had no problem getting along with him, but somehow he ended up talking more than me. At some points I couldn't get a word in edgewise. It was certainly strange but definitely confirmed my belief that the staff is incredibly supportive and excited to work with medical students. Unfortunately, even if I got off the waitlist I don't think I would attend NYU. The cost of living scares me off a little. But good luck with everything and I'm sure writing a letter couldn't hurt you. If you love the school, that will come out in your letter and that can only work in your favor!
 
Same here. I have a few other acceptances, but I'm really hoping to get off of NYU's waitlist. I liked my interviewer, but I was the third person he interviewed in a row and it seemed like he was in a bit of a hurry to get back to the hospital. (He was an attending physician). So I don't think that I was able to sell myself enough during the 25 minute interview. I wish that they had two 30 minute interviews or a hour long interview like other schools I interviewed at.

Oh well, at least we're on the waitlist. Hopefully there is a lot of waitlist activity this year, with people choosing other New York schools over NYU or going for the more affordable state schools.
 
Here are some numbers from the class of 2014. I wish had information about the wait list.

thanks for the stats!

so i guess other than international students/ it's around a 50/50 chance for those who got interviewed.

does anyone know how nyu feels about LOIs?
