NYU Waitlist

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Not yet. There is at least one student in the group that is on the waitlist who had asked if anyone was giving up their seat. I think there were about 3 people who responded that they chose a different school.

The group has had a consistent stream of new members for the past many months. A lot of people have just not bothered to find it, or have only recently solidified their choice of school, or they're actually from D1-D4 and are just looking for roommates, haha.
 
Of all those waitlisted, did you receive an e-mail first saying a decision had been made, or did you just get a letter?

Also, any movement lately?

I hear that Dr. Mejia calls you first and then an email follows shortly after. And the packet comes via postal mail I believe.

And I don't think the waitlist has begun to move yet.

Nope no movement. Still waiting for that call..
 
Nope not yet. It's almost the end of April what's going on?
 
Has anyone talked to adcom within the last week? I thought there would be some movement by now....there is absolutely no chance there class is full right now, right?
 
I talked with the Adcom last Friday, and they said that they were going to start reviewing the waitlist around late April to early May.
 
sorry guys i'm in the wrong forum. i donno how to delete this message. just ignore!

Did anyone on the waitlist get a call? I guess the movement is way slower than previous years..

When I called on Monday, the lady in the office said waitlist was unexpected so just wait from now till August. This waiting is killing me now..
 
Wow thats ridiculous. Im barely pulling through day by day. Last year there was alot of movement in mid April but this year it's close to nothing 🙁

I wish I could go back in time to an hour ago before I read this. I was so full of hope back then. 🙁

Are you trying to say that they do not expect the wait list to have mass movement like the past years?🙁

No.. I mean they even did not know when the waitlist is gonna move cause it's so unpredictable. Sorry for confusion.
 
Alright thanks...let the wait continue. These last two weeks have gone by so slow.

How could this be?? The second deposits should have been due by now, right? How could they not be able to predict the waitlist if they know how many people didn't pay their second deposits?
 
The facebook group has gotten larger this week. I'm not sure if the new members are present NYU students, people admitted earlier and just joining now, or people from the wait list. Im hoping its not the latter.

Yeah I know. It's strange that no one even mentioned they got off the waitlist this year. Last year it was every other day students were getting of the waitlist.
 
Hey guys, I called yesterday and asked if they took anyone from the wait list and they said no, and that they are waiting for some deposits.

There is still hope! Thanks for this post.
 
Summary of this thread;
It has been asserted that the waitlist moves around April (as per last year), late April, early May, now, August.
Second deposits for admitted candidates are to be postmarked by April 2nd in the amount of $3500.
The process of getting moved from the waitlist to admission involves a call from Dr. Mejia, an email thereafter, and a packet later on.
A post on 3/14 claimed that there is 15 spots open in the class of 232. 9 of the 98 admitted students on predent.com have the status of attending. Many students have chosen not send in a second deposit to NYU as per a recent poll. A recent increase in the number of members to the class of 2016 facebook page indicates either more acceptances or upperclassmen joining the group to give information or seek housing. There has been two students posting recent admission since March 1st on the official NYU Class of 2016 thread.
List of posters who appear to be on the waitlist; hellopeople, Parle G, SLYgUy2098, glassbowl, dentite1127, tvj16, orthodental, KCCanuck, deerpark, hs113891, sg89, organicman22, BRM3488, planisphere, letsdoitbama, user122, and myself. 17 in total. There are 19 people listed as waitlisted on predents.
The waitlist has not moved yet.
 
Anyone talk to admissions this week yet? If so, any new insight into the wait list?

Btw, when calling admissions what do you guys say? I have emailed and called once but if I called again I would feel like I am nagging at them and that they wouldn't like it.

They said it should be "in the near future". I'm assuming it's coming up this week or next hopfully.
 
Hey guys, I applied in December I believe. They have my application and it's still under Review?? Not even a rejection yet? What gives? I called and asked yesterday, they said it's still under review. Does this make sense?
 
For some reason I'm most nervous on Monday's and Friday's :scared:. Least during the weekends 😎 and medium Tuesday-Thursday 🙁.
