Nyu Waitlist !!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
This has got to be the most excruciating time in my life. I've been waitlisted since December 2007. I'm glad to hear that some are getting in though! Congratulations! I'm starting to lose hope though, I just thought the waitlist would move faster than this. :scared:😕:help::bang:

I am with you on this 1.

I second that.
 
Congrats cpc! I think it's interesting how you got in on 7 (july) 28th and your profile name has 728 in it.

Yeah...I got in on my birthday. 7/28 is my birthday! Can you believe that?

As someone on this thread has said before, the waitlist movement seems to have picked up speed. Don't give up guys and keep on calling Dr. Mejia to let her know how serious you are!!!! Keep thinking positively and I hope to see you guys in August! I know how hard it is but keep at it until august 18th! That's what I was going to do. Good luck to you all!
 
any recent news/updates on the waitlist?!
 
Hey everyone I just got off the waitlist this week! Don't lose hope....I am by no means a stellar candidate DAT: 20/21/17

Congrats!!!!! See you in August!!!! I think the waitlist is really moving now!! I hope all of you hear the good news soon!
 
To all of those people still waiting, I would like to say don't lose hope. If you are truly dedicated to becoming a Dentist it will happen sooner or later. Never give up on the dream
 
What are the chances of getting in by the 18th? I'm feeling pretty bummed and it seems like the list didn't really move that much. 🙁

Did you show continued interest by sending letters and calling ...consistently?

Don't worry. I'm in the same boat as you and I figure if its not meant to happen this year (Soooo close, people with much lower stats got in before me!), its probably a good thing since next year I'll probably have a choice in dschools. Its not the end of the world, although a last minute acceptance would be nice to "save" a year.

A few weeks back alot of people started posting that they had gotten in, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few more spots opened up last minute. Although I can't think of a reason why people would drop now... who knows it could still happen.
 
i have a friend who was let in off the waitlist last week so there is hope for yall. good luck.
 
What are the chances of more people getting pulled off of the waitlist? I think its about 2 weeks before class starts... Do people really drop there spot at this point in the game?

Admissions office said the waitlist ends on the 17th, 1 day before orientation. Let's hope it happens for one of us!

Go on craigslist and look up sublets. I've seen a lot of them for one month or two. Then while you stay there, you can look for a more permanent place to live. If you have the money, you can also do a hotel for the meantime. Good luck!

Well with the news this morning, I certainly hope you're still looking for a place (maybe NJ? My friend in SUNY optometry lives there and its way cheaper and not too far).
 
Hey THDental,

I was just wondering what your GPA is because we have very similar DAT scores. I would really appreciate it cause I am freaking out everyday hoping that I get a phone call from Dr. Mejia.

Thanks

Hmm he's still in my hometown right now. I think he owns a single studio in NJ. I'm seeing him on Saturday, so I'll ask him for some info and get back to you if its not too late for you (probably will be if you want to go to orientation).

Alcohulk, What time did you get accepted at??

Oh lets say... 2pm local (MT)? There is another story behind it though. Does anyone know if orientation is mandatory? I am from Canada and need to scramble to get my f1-visa and loans together, all the while looking for a place to live. THIS IS INSANE.

Bizznet, please call Dr. Mejia tomorrow if you really want a spot.

i am surprised they accepted an international student this late, because it takes at least 2-3 weeks to get I20, then i dont know how long to get visa from canada. Unlessrules for canadians are different from other foreign students. Schools usually dont take international students this late because of how long visas take, so your pretty lucky 😀

in any case its mandatory, but call tomorrow asap. Speak to the admissions director.

Well I sure as hell hope I don't get pulled from the class just because I was accepted late. This is getting crazy.

I have been talking to her since monday. She sounded excited when we spoke that day, but each day thereafter she has been calling other people. I told her I have my finanacial aid already filed for her school. I also informed her my immunization records are up to date so all she needs to do is give me a call and i'll be there monday.
 
Hey bizznet,

Was today our last shot of getting off of the waitlist? Seeing that orientation is on Monday, she probably wont call us on a weekend to accept us. What do you think?
 
Actually, i believe we can expect to be called on the weekend. When I talked to her she mentioned about possibly giving me a call this weekend. It was kinda of quick.. so i'm not sure if I heard that correct.

It will be seriously cutting it close though.

Alcohulk, i read your situation.. i hope things work out in your favor. I couldn't imagine her accepting you and then not working with the visa thing. Did you call her today to get that figured out?

Haha, that's awesome! Today during orientation, one of the faculty came up to the stage and asked if so-and-so was here - holding an extra orientation packet. When no one answered, everyone was like, "open spot!"

Congrats, and welcome!
 
i heard that... how funny. Lucky me!
