Hi I am looking for a place to live in NY. If there's still anyone looking for a roomate ( I don't mind living with 2,3 other students), please PM me
I wonder why they haven't contacted me yet...?

Sci: 23
Org: 18
Chem: 19
RC: 18
PAT: 22
QR: 15 (panicked on this section as you can see lol)

Idk. I got the e-mail about the waitlist close. My stats are GPA: 3.3, sGPA:3.43 AA:21 TS:21. Volunteer hours - 300 hours (at the time of applying)
I am pretty sure they aren't just basing this on marks. I just wished they would tell us why they close it off to specific students, when there are other applicants with the same stats.
I might call her tomorrow and ask her how come I got the e-mail.
I am a non-traditional applicant and I didn't do so well when I graduated from college a handful of years ago, I had a 3.0 with two business majors
I recently went back to school and raised my GPA to a 3.3 and had an overall science GPA of 3.4 (closer to a 3.5 with my most recent semester just completed)
20 AA / 19 TS / 18 PAT I know the stats aren't eye popping
150 observation hours
5+ years full-time work experience
You?
I know it's frustrating and it's confusing, but things are not always so black and white. I'm not talking about you specifically here but they take interviews seriously into consideration - so if ppl are posting that they didn't get in with crazy good DAT/GPA, it doesn't mean anything if they are a robot, have no emotion, no true passion for dentistry, come off arrogant, are not personable, and/or are really bad at interviewing (nobody want to have a heartless dentist). And then there are people who scored a little lower (like me, not unreasonably low, just not stellar) but i made it perfectly clear that i wouldn't see myself in any other career aside from having my hands chopped off and i really really really wanted to go to NYUCD and i showed that to them. sometimes they just look for will-power, because yeah I didn't have amazing scores going in, and chances were that I wasn't going to get amazing scores in dental school (which is what exactly happened), but they want to know that in the worst days in dental school, you still wouldn't want to be elsewhere - so they give the benefit of the doubt to the person who might not be amazing on paper. During my interview Dr. Mejia said that they look for people who genuinely WANT to go to nyucd, not just to get into another school to have "options" where to go to dental school or nyucd is the only option so you're settling. Once again, I'm not saying this is you or that this is what happened to you!! - just sort of a general thing that the whole process of getting into dental school is really nonlogical.Yea at first I thought it based on DAT mostly, but i see people with low scores get in and people with high scores get rejected. I dont know what its based off of.
Hey, were you able to get a hold of admissions? What did they say about the waitlist close?Idk. I got the e-mail about the waitlist close. My stats are GPA: 3.3, sGPA:3.43 AA:21 TS:21. Volunteer hours - 300 hours (at the time of applying)

I didn't get the closed email.. Haha is that good, bad, or indifferent? What did it say?anybody here on waitlist who didn't get the waitlist closed e-mail that was sent out last week?
is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Was there any movement this week!?
anybody here on waitlist who didn't get the waitlist closed e-mail that was sent out last week?
is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I haven't heard anything this week!
I didn't get that email, and I have no idea, I'm hoping a good thing?
I emailed admissions and they said waitlist will continue to move... So I'm assuming it's a good sign if we didn't get the email....yet lol
When I had my interview I believe she said it was going to be around 380 this year
They told me between 350-360When I had my interview I believe she said it was going to be around 380 this year
Hello fellow students, I have a quick question about paying the tuition.
I'm an international, from Canada, got accepted late April. However, I never received any 'financial aid package' or any instruction on how I should make a payment to the school.
Does anybody have an idea when I would get it? or is there any chance that I missed my package? I received my 'welcome to NYUCD UPS package.'
Accepted today 10:30AM
Thanks man. See u then.Congrats man knew you'd make it after you told me about your retake scores. See you in August!
Anyone gone into NYU Albert and accept their student loans yet? Having trouble getting through to financial aid office and was wondering when these loans are disbursed? The financial aid "budget" online is broken up into fall 2015 and spring 2016. Do we receive the loans per year or per semester? I have put together a budget (already signed a lease etc) but confused on when I will get the $ deposited in my account
p.s. Am I the only one freaking out about this potential $400k debt?? I'll be saving where I can, but I feel like the monthly repayments are going to be debilitating. Even getting super aggressive with repayment right out of school will mean attacking this debt for ~ 10 yrs with every penny of your after tax income. Basically living off of a spouse's income for ten years. I refuse to make $2,000 payments every month for 30 years!! Let me know I'm not alone so that I can get some sleep at night. Anxiety thru the roof. Regardless, I'll see ya'll in August

I did accept my loans but the first half of our loans for 2015-2016 are not disbursed until early September and have to last until January. The second half is disbursed in January and needs to last you until June, then I think from there our loans start getting disbursed every June and January. You should double check with Financial Aid just to be sure!
Also I recently met with an NYUCD alumni from '99 for a few hours, he alleviated any concerns I had about repayment lol

I called and emailed like 6-7 times. I think you should continue to show interest every 2 weeks or so. I thought calling them would be annoying and awkward since the conversation will be the same every time; email is better.Hey congrats!!! I was just wondering, how many times did you email Dr. Mejia/admissions? I did it quite a few times but I don't want to be annoying. So would you suggest to just wait at this point or continue to keep in touch? Thanks!
I hear ya. I'm from Alaska and reeeeally losing hope for 15 haha.Ahh, I guess I'll call again tomorrow. I just never really know what to say. What do you guys think my chances are seeing as I'm from CA?
(I know they prefer students that are closer at this point in the cycle, but I'm hoping I still have a chance seeing as I didn't get the waitlist closed email?)
