im honestly shook I thought I’d get in

Has anyone that applied to Steinhardt heard back yet?

@jsjsfilm Hey Tisch Film and Tv here too! I submitted a short film not a script, so I can see that they’ve already watched mine on 11th and 12th. I think they probably already gone through most of the portfolio by now. did you have your portfolio box checked off yet? Thanks!

@burgerdebambi @msport did you guys apply for housing… if so did you have access to the housing app?

whoa I’m shook you didn’t get in as well, so sorry

I’m so scared now i applied to CAS Econ and i haven’t heard back yet i checked again just now. I’m sorry you guys didn’t get in:( did you receive an email that your decision was ready before finding out?

No email. Just check your portal because the email is known to come hours late. Go to application status and there will be a purple button above your checklist.

The purple button you’re referring to is not the same as the underlined purple button that says “decision instructions page” right? @msport

yeah, it’ll be a big ass purple “view decision” button. trust me, you won’t miss it

Yikes. Sorry, @burgerdebambi. NYU’s opinion notwithstanding, your credentials are very impressive. Seems like their loss.

NYU finally received my college transcript. Are admissions on a rolling basis? I feel like I am gonna get the decision late May.

I think they started to review my materials too, just got an email asking for my winter quarter transcript. I think it is that we are gonna get our result back very soon, since they always make decisions after viewing all your materials.

@sifhsn when did you got the email to asking your winter quarter transcript? I got nothing

One hour ago, you didn’t get an email probably is because of they already have all your materials.

@tdtdtdtdtdtd I haven’t had my portfolio checked off yet! everything else is checked off though but I had to call to make sure

Yeah, I checked last year’s thread. Some people receive their offer but their box still not checked off. As long as everything else is checked, we should be good.

@msport I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m still anxiously awaiting my decision as well. :frowning: In other news I got accepted to Arcadia with 39-44K scholarship per year which is actually looking financially awesome right now. If I don’t get accepted to NYU I’m most likely going with Arcadia. But if I do get accepted it will be NYU LOL.

Has anyone else applied for Dramatic Writing at Tisch? Does anyone know roughly how many external transfer students they accept? :slight_smile:
