@allycat231 Does your friend know if the response we fill for the interest in waitlist form helps a lot for getting off the waitlist?? I’M DESPERATE
@asdfg12345xx I would assume that the interest form is important because it is the only opportunity to show how much you want to go to NYU and gives you the opportunity to talk about something different that they haven’t seen in your actual application
@asdfg12345xx She doesn’t remember what she put but she filled it out I think
@allycat231 Thanks for the reply! I will definitely fill it out as much as I can. Thanks again 
@myfavoritepet IR too
@tz6616 nice!! Do you know the acceptance rate for IR from waitlist? LOL
Son accepted to UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, Northeastern, RPI, Rose Hulman. Waitlisted at NYU and NYU was the one he wanted the most. College admissions are bizarre.
@Browns! The bet way to remain sane is not to try to make sense of it. Too many moving parts for that. Sounds like your son has tremendous options.
I saw on RD thread about 300 waitlisted students were admitted last year. They did not provide source of info so take it with a grain of salt.
For the response we fill out for waitlist form, it says relay my interest toward the college while they discourage writing sameple. So we are not supposed to write an essay but just to talk about why im still interested in nyu?
I wrote a 300 word essay because it’s my last chance to express my interest in NYU and “brag” about my achievements/work/volunteering experiences over the last couple months.
hey on the waitlist form does it matter how many majors we list, and if admitted do we get to choose from the majors we listed or are we restricted to one that they select out of the bunch you listed?
I foresee a challenge with FA when one eventually gets in after being wait-listed.
Again looking at the situation where there are three campuses, which of the three is the wait-listed applicant to hope for?
Do you mind sharing what were your stats (GPA/SAT), and which program did you apply to?
My S had SAT 1420, GPA 3.7 UW. Plus EC’s and awards; Best Cambridge GCE O Level Science student; in the top 10% of the class of about 250. Biochem/Bio
i was waitlisted and i applied to tisch drama! i was wondering if anyone knows how many people nyu accepts for drama?
Should low-income waitlisted applicants give up hope of receiving a substantial financial aid package?
Not really. Let’s not give up hope. Current admissions have now turned into a sort of lottery. Who knows. @penpal11
Since nyu admitted 15,722 freshman this year while they have admitted 17-18k in past years, will our chance to get off waitlist increase? I really want to go to nyu and I don’t want to lose hope
@asdfg12345xx I hope so!
