My son’s friend was a very good candidate…I was very surprised he didn’t get in with RD. He has decided to go to Chapman, though. I don’t have specific numbers, but I think his GPA, rank and test scores were all very high. He also had lots of EC activities. I know he is the only one that was posted here, but keep in mind that not everybody is on CC.
@GoldMomVA: my S is wl at chapman and nyu for film, he would prefer chapman and hasn’t heard yet from either. Did your friend choose chapman over nyu off the wl for chapman or he chose chapman as rd accepted candidate? Crickets from chapman. Having two dream schools at WL for him is very stressful, hearing someone you know who could choose from nyu or chapman for film i can honestly say wow and glad my S isn’t reading these boards!!! ha! Amazing he has that opportunity to choose them and not have to wait anymore.
anyone else’s portal change to let them make housing payments and view financial aid summary? although, the award summary says “Inquiry access denied.” but my portal wasn’t like this before. i got the interest email but haven’t heard anything else
side note: my portal may have never changed and this could have been there the whole time. but i dont remember seeing this and i used to check my portal a lot. let me know what your guys portals look like
@nursingmajor18 i also applied for nursing an have been going through an identical process (i got the same interest emails etc) i just checked my portal and nothing but ill check in over the next few days and update you 
also did u get an email to check your portal or did u just randomly check?
@20122638 no i just checked randomly and a few things changed (like housing and aid, did that change for u too like are those options for you on tab on the right in albert?) ! i didn’t check an email to check or an offical decision. please keep me updated! glad to have a nursing friend in the same boat
@nursingmajor18 hi! i applied to stern, and i did not receive an interest letter. i’m able to access the financial aid summary, but it says “there is no financial aid information found.” (this may be because i did not apply for financial aid?) also, i’m able to access the housing payments (and click the “Make Payment” buttons), but the amount is just $0.00 lol. honestly don’t even remember if i could access it before haha
I’ve issued this warning before on the NYU thread, and I will issue my warning again: Changes to the Albert portal are ** NOT ** indicative of a decision.
@eyuncho I’m still very offended by your comments. THINK BEFORE YOU POST (this applies to everyone)
ok so basically i looked into what i think youre talking about. I think youre logging into NYU’s albert portal, instead of the decision portal link they send you on email. On NYU alberts page it says stuff like “housing payments” and “financial aid” but everyone has that. So if you use the link they sent you in your orginal admission email from april you will be sent to a compeltly different page that isnt updated and just has your waitlist decision. Sorry if you got youre hopes up 
@20122638 ok got it! don’t worry i didn’t have my hopes up i just wanted to know if it changed cause i couldn’t remember what it looked like before.
@MrElonMusk dude relax. Just like @eyuncho comment’s read “we are in this together”. Although being on the waitlist for a school is a serious and stressful time i feel like your post/word choice was not valid at all. This page is not that important, we are all here to discuss and support eachother. ~relax~
@friedmermaid do you mind sharing your SAT scores and GPA? i got waitlisted for tisch ima as well but still hasn’t received anything yet and i’m getting worried
Does anyone know anything about CAS or Tandon?
@kadima295 It’s been suggested that the larger schools may be in contact around 5/10 or 5/11 given information from last year’s class of 2021 CC discussion thread. But the only thing we can really do is try to be patient (so much easier said than done). Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the info. Fingers crossed indeed.
@kadima295 What is your area of interest for study? I’m considering political science with possible minor in economics or history.
He was admitted to Dodge at Chapman RD. I think he prefers CA, and got significant $ from Chapman. NYU is so expensive, and no word on aid.
Thank you @GoldMomVA, I appreciate the information. My S is waiting on both! fingers crossed!
So guys would I be wrong in saying that the first round of the waitlist is over… and that there is going to be a second round soon?? OR is it more accurate to say that right now they are filling the smaller schools first and then the larger ones like CAS and Stern??
@wdjacca i wrote everything down on page 17, post #246. good luck!
I was waitlisted from NYU. I originally applied to major in Global Public Health: Science. On my waitlist form, 8 indicated I was interested in changing my major (as my career plans changed) and I selected Global Public Health: Sociology and Public Policy. Both majors are undergraduate offerings for Graduate Schools. GPH: Sociology- Institute of GPH and CAS. Public Policy- Wagner and CAS. Does anyone know the likelihood of being admitted from undergraduate majors offered by graduate schools? And did anyone else on here select any of the majors I did?
