me and my roommate had a discussion about this - so Koch is a german last name right? My roommate went to Germany spring semester of junior year - he said that you pronounce it like - Kock ... this came up because he was applying to a Koch Summer Internship.

which made me really curious as to how large the Kock Summer Internship program was?

anyways how is it pronounced in the US? that would be pretty sweet if there were Dr. Kocks
 
When is NYU supposed to send out their first batch of acceptances?

I'm asking because I interviewed on 12/4, and I was wondering if I could be included in the first wave?

I thought it was supposed to be sometime in December.
 
I heard it was today (12/15), but that may just be from the rumor mill here on SDN

Hey Heimer,
From my understanding (which may be wrong), NYU starts sending acceptances out somewhere mid-to-late Dec (mid apparently was discussed in the packet we got @ the interview, late is quoted from the website). Acceptances will continue through Feb (?) when all decisions will be sent.

I'm not sure if a 12/4 interview would have been reviewed yet considering that they started inviting pp to interview in late-August, but the good thing about NYU is that they won't drag this on forever (with the decisions being sent by Feb)... who knows if they review the files in order or not.... ?

Best of luck, Heimer! :luck:
 
i can't remember...does NYU call if yes, letter if no?

Last year small envelopes were sent (info from 2006 wall of fame).... interesting - it seems that the 1st SDN acceptances were late January.... hm.....
 
weird. but you were right, swtiepie, the interview packet said first batch goes out mid december...

Actually, I don't remember reading that line at all! I thought it was late-Dec (actually, for some reason I thought ALL decisions went out in the same timeperiod in Feb - then it came up on SDN & I looked at the website - it said late Dec, then someone on SDN mentioned the packet - so that's the SDNr that deserves the credit 😉 )
 
Well, when you think about it from a med school point of view, this is kinda late December because most of them close the week of Christmas till New Years.

This is correct. I don't think we'll receive anything until mid-January.
 
I called them last week. They said first round of letters will go out the week before Christmas. No email, no phone calls. Only snail mail. So, I'd guess they'll go out sometime next week.
 
I heard that they are sending out about 400 acceptances around 1 week before Christmas.

Anyone else heard this?

Letters go out monday?? That makes me so nervous!! :scared: :scared: NYU was my first interview, and after 10 more, NYU is still the school I can see myself fitting in at the most. NYU I 😍 You! please don't break my heart before christmas!
 
Does anyone know what percentage of interviewees does NYU usually accept??

I'm pretty sure we interview something like 800 and ultimately accept 400 with a class size of about 160.
 
Yargh... too bad I interviewed in early December. I guess I'm going to have to wait awhile. 🙁


At any rate, :luck: to everyone! I had a blast at my interview. My student host was awesome.
 
How does this work? They send out 400 acceptances? What if everybody accepts? I guess they are pretty good at judging the yield if they can do that. Are people that interviewed later basically waitlisted, or have they already made decisions on us that will go out Monday? Guess I'll find out soon enough... 😕
 
they actually interview about 900 and accept 300 according to the USNEWS.com....so 1 in 3........the suspense is killing me!!!

here is what i heard:
next week they will send out initial ACCEPTANCES
then, based on who accepts/does not (guess they'll give people like 2 weeks to notify?), they will send out new ACCEPTANCES throughout january
in february, they send out REJECTIONS and WAITLIST

so, if you don't hear the good news this week, your chances went down dramatically. but you won't hear bad news until february.

It's Monday....let's hope for an early holiday gift from NYU! Perhaps I should make cookies for the postman--not that I'm superstitious or anything 🙂

Good luck everyone!

I definitely think the first batch is going out this week. :scared:
 
NYU is great. Your ticket out of it is Tony's Tutoring Service. 😎 Dental School Exams, NERB's, what ever you need he is their. Exams start @ $500 and gets bigger as the years goes on. Llyod Becker in association with deans of the school make an effort that everyone gets a good chance of graduating.😉
 
Yeah, they've made their first move today. Good luck, everybody. (For those who are curious, I interviewed in mid-October.)

Do you think late interviewers (end of november) would have been accepted on this batch? Are rejection/waitlist letters in the mail for me? Sniff.
