Waitlists at the small state schools (Uconn, Stony Brook, etc.) don't move much. Its most applicants top choice and there aren't many spots to begin with. A handful of students will get in off of it though, so keep your head up!
 
And what about NYU wait list...??
 
Waitlisted at Case.
~3.6 Graduate GPA, DAT in signature.
 
nyu waitlists/rejects people they think won't go there at all.
my sister had a 3.6 and a 26AA and got waitlisted at NYU and attends Columbia now.
 
That's not true. My stats are similar to those and I was accepted. My interviewer told me they monitor your interest level through how many times you call their office, email them, etc. I made sure to ask plenty of questions to seem interested during the session with Dr. Mejia. I also sent a followup email with the people there I met, etc. They give out scholarships to their top applicants.

If you're on the wait list at NYU, make sure you call them and be proactive to show your interest. A lot of people move off of the wait list.

Two waitlists so far.... NYU and Indiana
20AA/21TS
3.4 oGPS, 3.2 sGPA

Anyone have some experience with life on an OOS state-school waitlist?
 
Anyone else get wait listed at Buffalo? Email says I have been "voted to alternate status" but that alternates "usually not offered admission until april". This seems late to me, so Im wondering if this is suggesting that I am pretty far down on the list or is it just the same message they send to all the alternates.

I can't speak for Buffalo, but I think a lot of schools accept students off the waitlist later than that (on a rolling basis) - sometimes even the week before classes start.

Im sure plenty of schools accept students all the way into the summer, Im just surprised that they wouldn't start accepting kids off the wait list earlier.
 
Nova, oos, 3.4, my DAT is in my sig

Maybe they just don't want students on the waitlist contacting them about their status any earlier? I'm sure the schools will be busy enough as the accepted students withdraw (or not) their spots.
 
Does anyone know what the earliest possible time is for someone to get accepted from the waitlist at NYU?

What are some good things to mention when calling admissions to show interest?

Im not exactly sure why but I think it has to do with me doing horribly bad mt first 2 years in undergrad, when I took the bulk of my requirements for both D school and my science degree.

In april, the gig is up and multiple deposit holders are made aware to the schools.
 
How do you know you get waitlisted at NYU? Do they call/update ADEA? I haven't heard anything from them yet.

No don't assume that. No news is better then bad news if that makes sense lol
 
What should we do when we are waitlisted? Just wait? Or send the school a letter or email letting them know how much I want to attend there?
