hey everyone,
i interviewed at NYU on may 16th and recieved a waitlist letter today.
I can't say i'm really suprised as i was interviewd very late in the cycle but hey at least it's something. Also i've heard that if ure on the waitlist and u dont get in, u have a very good chance of getting admitted for the following year if you reapply. Anyone have any info on that matter?

Also just to see how many are on the waitlist...if u are just post it here so we can all get a better picture of what its lookin like.

One more thing, has anyone tried to find out how we can go about doing volunteer research at NYU or any other dental school for that matter? after giving my part 1 again, I dont wanna just sit around on my ass for another year...and i think doing research at NYU or somewhere else will really improve my chances for admissions in the following cycle...any info on this anyone?

Anyways good luck to anyone else on the infamous "list" 🙂
 
Hi,
Congratulations, Khurram, and also I'm really, really impressed with your Toefl score. BTW, I think it's the good idea to get to know or estimate about how many waistlisters NYU this year. I'm the second, after you.

I had interview in May and received a place in the the waitlist. So far I have heard nothing. At this point I am planning to just reapply as we are so close to the start of the semester.

Good luck to everyone else! 😉 :luck:
 
hey everyone

glad to see that we are keeping the thread alive
any idea when the session is starting this yr??
when can we send our app. for next yr??

good luck everyone
 
Just talked to Ms. Amy knowles at NYU and she said that final decision letters can even be mailed out after August 1 which is the first day of classes!!!
Man they really want to drag us along huh.
Not that i have my hopes up anyways😛
 
Grrrr..
If only we could come to know...
I know that getting an accpetance letter now is as slim as getting stuck down by lightning. But then, I cannot concentrate 🙁 1 month and I just managed to do like 100 Decks.

p.s ARE WE THERE YET?
 
hey guys,
i have recently joined the SDN family. My part 1 score is 86, tofel 250 and i'm also on NYU waitlist. i was interviewed in feb. i'm preparing to retake part 1(cbt).it is little hard to concentrate at this point but applications for the year 2006 have already started so we have only 2 mnths left to prepare, i guess we cannot just sit and wait for NYU.
 
[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
Any body knows
What is the dedline date the addmision staff given for already acepted students to intimate their final dessision about thier addmission?

So that we can get some idea about movement on waitlist.
 
Hi everyone... I know that I have posted after a long time but due to some unavoidable reasons I could not log on to sdn. but I thought that I do like to share this one bit with you guys since I have defered my admission at NYU so one of the ppl in waitlist can surly benefit from one more vacant seat!
Have fun !

Regards,
Saira
 
a friend of mine has deffered her seat in NYU too... that makes it 2 seats for take for the present year.
 
Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.
It's way better than me going out and killing NYU accepted students. Though I keep saying that getting a seat now is as tough as getting stuck by lightning, am still hugging the tallest tree back here.
Does NYU send invidual letters or only in batches?
If I try to look at the bright side [try real hard ], people who get selected last will not have to undergo the dreaded crash course. I forgot what they call it.

Ever heard "Curiosity killed the cat"?
I mailed Ms Amy Knowles asking her about "Reactivation" of my application as I was worried that I might miss out on the 2006 batch too{ Don't ask me why..I just put my foot in my mouth}. She replied back saying that she will ask my application to be updated for the 2006[YIKES!! I realized that I hadn't used the right words while mailing her.}
I quickly send a reply requesting her not to do so as long as there is a slim chance of me getting into NYU this year itself.

So am back in the waitlist..albeit the last person on the list I guess.

Moral of the story = SHUT UP AND WAIT! and pray that you get selected.
 
Wondering if anyone who is not a citizen/green card holder has been accepted by NYU from the waitlist
 
congradulations hivibi and sunusk.culd u please tell me ur stats. i am also on waitlist since feb, 2005
thank u

to be honest, last minute, they will preferably accept someone who is already here in the US and doesnt require a visa status change.
a friend of mine, waitlisted at BU was told that last minute i.e. within 15 dasy there was no way her I-20 can be issued and her visa ststus changed from a B1 to F1.
but then again anythings possible..!!!

I do agree. Saying that at least one person with adjusting of status (not yet a green card holder) has been contacted by NYU yesterday. Hence one lives in hope....!!
 
Hmm.. and I was jumping with joy when I got a 10yr multiple entry Tourist visa 🙁
Still, thanks a lot Toothie.
 
this thread is burning hot.
i just don't want to leave my house and go anywhere.
i guess there is no harm in hoping something...
Ajay Das we were in same batch for interview.......do u remember!
 
Think I do Fateh. You were on a tourist visa too?
I believe we gotta wait for the present batch to either accept or reject. Only then will the second batch of letters would be dispatched. That could take more or less 5 to days days taking the weekend into consideration. Correct me if I am wrong someone.

got the bunch of papers in UPS today, and if she had said that you will get some papers by the same it's going to be the acceptance letter.
guys dont worry.
get doctor's appointment in advance coz a lot of vaccinations and other things have to be done, and the financial arragements, start filing the FAFSA ONLINE if not done in advance.
try searching for some good notebook, if not planning to buy from NYU Computer store, coz it may take a weeks time to reach you.
see you guys next week at NYU

u r right ajay..
 
hey ajay,
so i just foudn out from amy knowles, that even though she contacted me and all that like the other people who got accepted, as of right now i'm still on the waitlist...she was asking if iw oudl be able to make it to the states if they accepted me cuz we HAVE to be there by august 1st and i said hell yeah i can...
so she took that into account and she said they are still making decisions...so another few torturous days to go🙁
oh well...
 
Hmm.. I thought she had already sent you a package..
Anyways, I think you will be the first to get accepted then.Since you are a citizen.
Cheer up dude..
 
hello

i am new to this site and i also have been waitlisted since march at NYUCD. congrats to those who got acceptence letters. i hope i get mine soon 🙂
 
Hi guys .........i know for sure that some seats are open even after august....so dont lose hope.If u r in t wait list u never know ....u mite get a call even after classes start

Hi corbett

I hope you are right. You sound confident and really bringing our hopes up once again! Would you be kind enough to let us know about authenticity of your source? I mean can we really rely on that piece of good news?

Thanks
 
hey corbert,
may I ask what ure basing your assumption on?
Ms. Knowles said that after august 1st no one would be called from the waitlist...and this year the rule is that anyone who is in the incoming class HAS to be present on august 1st at NYU at the orientation. Also she said anyone who is on the waitlist should reactivate their application on or after august 1st.
Do you know something different?
