You get calls that day for SB, but SB didn't notify me about waitlist status until like jan/feb.By then, I already made my decision.

Do you mind sharing your stats and residency when you applied to stony brook and also, was it a pre December interview? Thanks

Hey sorry to be a bother. I'm just anxious. But could you please explain what happened that you felt one of your interviews wasn't positive?

One of my interviews were great. Administration crew was fantastic, one of my favorite teams out of all my interviews. But one of my interviewers questioned why I was working part time instead of full time, and why I wasn't helping out my grandparents more financially. Never mind the fact that most employers were downsizing a bit during my cycle and how most of the time you weren't considered full time so you wouldn't get full benefits. She came off a bit strong regarding that and brought it up more than once. I kept my cool, but obviously I wasn't going to look favorable in her eyes. Sometimes you just don't click with people. I had ten interviews I think, so I was lucky that I was even able to maintain that one job.

Again, other interviewer was fantastic, and I really liked the administration, more so than most schools I visited back then. Great program, good team. I just had one "bad" moment.

I remember checking that group obsessively and the great majority of people waiting on NYU didn't get it until the evening.

It's a stressful day but once you're in, it's all immediately forgotten. Good luck Thursday!

I've read the interview threads for the past 5 years on NYU so I am probably mixing things up on which year specifically. I could've sworn I saw someone posting about getting theirs at 8 am somewhere.

Thanks!, we will all need it.

Apparently NYU had server failures last year, so their emails didn't go out until like 4PM.

Sorry, I'm confused. What happened to NYU's servers last year, and when did their e-mails go out?
