Thank you.

I am a bit worried since there is no rank provided for NYU waitlist. And I heard they have a lot of people in the waitlist.

Well only 63 of the 134 who interviewed have updated their status. I imagine if they were accepted the would have updated it a little quicker.

i will also be most likely withdrawing from NYU. I'll do it within the next week so all those of you who are patiently waiting can hear back. Gluck to all who have yet to hear from somewhere! Don't lose hope 🙂

Is anyone up for calling NYU and ask whether there are ranks in the waitlist?

it's not ranked. was on it last year. after they finish interviewing in march they start going through and calling people to see if they're still interested in attending. it then gets whittled down and moves fairly well up until august..

I see. I saw a few people who got off waitlist on Jan. I guess that is not an usual case. In what order do they call people though?
 
Just a note:

December acceptance deposits aren't due until January.

Can I ask you where you are ?

I guess it is normal that a regular mail takes this long...
 
Hey don't give up hope. I was waitlisted for a month, then accepted (in March and April, respectively). It's all about how dedicated and determined you are in choosing NYUCD as your top choice.

What does getting in after being wait listed have anything to do with dedication to a particular school? Everything is said and done on your part at that time...

Not true. Those who remain active and develop rapports with the admissions director(s) and make attempts to improve their application have a better shot of getting in then those who stay silent. Eventhough I hate the word pro-active..it really does factor in to these types of situations

Really? How exactly does one do that effectively?

P.S.: why the hate on "pro-active" haha
 
if you look at the last year posts you will find that NUY sent out an email last year to respond with letter of interest if applicant still interested. At this time schools specially those large private ones have 4000 applications and do not know who got accepted and not interested anymore, who just applied to even the odds and who actually put their school as their top choice...
send your updates EC, grades, short personal letter why you are so interested in this school and how you will compliment their student body...
schools do print out your emails and add to your file to be considered....
It might not help but I do not see how this could hurt....

I 100% agree with KitKat. NYU is very receptive to your improvements and just general interest in their school/program. In fact in my two application cycles I've found that it was easier to reach them than some smaller schools. Additionally I think being the squeaky wheel really helped me this cycle because I was able to get an early interview and an acceptance. If nyu is really your top choice it is in your best interest to draft something that shows your passion and let them know.

It shows that you aren't just using NYU as a 'backup' and that you are truly interested in attending a great dental school. I had two classmates last year who were also waitlisted at NYU but never showed any interest and was not accepted. They ended up reapplying this cycle. It does make a difference.

You're absolutely right, I agree. I just wasn't aware there was anything you could do beyond your interview.
 
How exactly i can show my interest to NYU? I attended their open house, had a wonderful interview, showed them my passion For their school and sent them a thank you email. But i got waitlisted ?
So now i dont know how to be proactive because i finished my BS last year, i have done research, dental experience etc..........
What kind of updates i can give them any advice would be so helpful because i really want to attend their school.
Thanks

Yes, I spoke with Dr. Mejia and expressed interest in the program. I'm not sure if I am attending.
 
did you speak with Dr. Meija in person or over the phone/email? I'm also waitlisted and trying to figure out what's the best way to go about this process
 
Any one else got accepted from the NYU's waitlist so far....?

I received a letter in the mail today. NYU is an extremely receptive school to all of your requests. I called once a month and asked to speak to Dr. Mejia. Although I never spoke to her over the phone, I'd leave a message on her voicemail and she'd respond to my call via e-mail. When I spoke to her last, she said that people will start being pulled off the waitlist after Feb. 1st.

I never spoke to the dean directly, however, in my voicemail I asked if there was a ranking system for the people on the waitlist and if there was anyway for me to better my chances of getting accepted. She replied back in an e-mail and said that they were waiting for the application deadline (feb. 1st), and that people would start to be taken off the wait-list from that point on. I suggest calling once every 7-10 days to ask if any updates are available. If you show interest they seem to comply.
 
I spoke with somebody in the admissions today & the lady said that NYU is still interviewing untill this spring. Also, there is no movement in the waitlist yet, its going to take a while but if you have any updates send them to us.
