<p>The article speaks for itself. If Barbara Hall is correct in predicting a yield of 40%, then there would be about a 15% chance of being accepted from the waitlist. The RD numbers are 7813 acceptances to fill 3404 slots. 40% would provide 3125 of them, leaving 279 slots from 1867 on the waitlist which is 14.9+%.</p>
<p>Good luck again.</p>
<p>I think every universities rates dropped. =/ My safety went from an 89% to a 75% this year.</p>
<p>Dude the rate is 15% ASSUMING every1 who was waitlisted accepts a place on it and thats not possible.</p>
<p>suddenly I feel sooooo special being on the waitlist</p>

This spring, 8,809 applicants were offered admission to NYU's Class of 2012 for a projected class size of 4,400 students. The university placed 1,867 students on the waitlist.

</p>
<p>so actually, 8809*.4= 3524</p>
<p>4400-3524=876</p>
<p>876/1867=.47</p>
<p>so... IF the yield IS 40% this year, then waitlister will have about 47% chance of getting in</p>
<p>but the above is assuming 8809 includes the EDers</p>
<p>Right, and my figures assumed RD only and are the "a priori" assumptions. It's likely that some/many will not accept being on the waitlist and thus the pool will be smaller, making the percentage of acceptance higher, but there is no way of knowing this until well after May 1st when the RD acceptee decisions are finalized.</p>
<p>Does anyone know Stern's acceptance rate?</p>
<p>do the different schools within NYU have different percentages for who gets off the waitlist?</p>
<p>definitely, there are like completely different schools. stern is so harder than CAS</p>
<p>and tisch is harder (in terms of percentages) than stern.</p>
<p>k thanks!! :(</p>
<p>this 24% makes me really happy i got in! :)</p>

<p>assuming 50% of the accepted students join this group, then the wait listed people are ****ed?</p>
<p>Dude its not necessary that only those ppl who are attending joined the group. I have alot of friends who have joined facebook groups of every college (in different countries btw) they have been accepted to...</p>
<p>Stern had approximately a 14% acceptance rate</p>
<p>tisch is harder to get into than stern? that doesn't sound right...</p>
<p>Don't forget that at Tisch you need to demonstrate artistic talent, which is somewhat rarer than smarts.</p>
<p>quag_mire- I'm curious where you got those stats as I've been looking for them</p>
<p>I've been admitted to Stern for the class of 2012, and i joined facebook groups related to Stern (some of which were actually created by NYU's admissions office to help newly admitted students)...one guy there went to the admitted students reception at Stern and was told by the dean how many applied and how many got in...he used the numbers to calculate the admit rate....he said that more than 7000 applied and close to 1000 were admitted, for a class size of between 450-500</p>
<p>Quag_mire:</p>
<p>Do you know the official statistics? I'm kinda curious to see if the SAT scores went up too.</p>
