NYU likely call?

My friend got a call from NYU and they told him not to accept any offers yet and that his decision will come out soon. Does this mean my friend is in?

Never heard of that happening before. Your friend is sure the number he got the call from is an NYU registered number?

I think so. Also, one of my other friends also got the call just now.

What major did he apply for?

CS

In the past, afaik the only “likely” indications NYU has sent out ahead of decision day has been save the date email reminders for admitted students days. I’ve never heard of any college saying “don’t accept any offers”, NYU or anyone else, in a “likely” communication, and I don’t believe I’ve heard of NYU calling anyone before. So two of your friends have got this, including one on a Saturday morning? Be interested to hear if anyone else has. Keep us posted. Perhaps one of them should call admissions and ask for clarity on what “don’t accept any offers” means.

call from NYU - Fake News!!

Sounds like someone is pranking your friends.

Pretty mean prank, if so.
