***NYU Regular Decision Class of 2021 Discussion***

Is it true that the first wave is for rejections/waitlists (1:00-2:00pm) and that they send acceptances starting from 5???

@PrettyCool Suggested from 2020 thread, it seemed not. All decisions last year were sent out around 5 EST pm while rej and waitlists came out relatively first and acceptances later (roughly after 5 pm)

nobody knows what times things are being sent stop guessing like you’re never gonna have that confirmed until tomorrow

@whatyouflex oh my bad haha, thats just what I was told. thanks!

guys do we have to apply for housing when submiting applications?

^^^ @CathJR is right. theres literally no point in asking people what time decisions come out when literally no one knows. we’ll find out soon enough though, because I’m sure people will start posting on here when they get their email from NYU!

@fatidiot no you apply for housing if you get accepted. housing forms are due May 1st I believe

guys do we have to apply for housing when submiting applications?

@fatidiot You don’t apply for housing when submitting your application. When you are accepted, you will be asked to apply for housing after paying for the deposit (for both enrollment and housing)

Nobody knows the exact time they will be sending out the link. So no panic and have a good night sleep!

I hope everyone will hear good news tomorrow.

oh okay thanks! @indiahyland @jyc1230 so if i could access to my housing portal now is that a good sign or everyone could do so… hahaah

if the admissions blog from 2015 is to be trusted then it seems like the decisions will be released differently depending on your time zone. They don’t want you to receive and open it at school, so they may be sent out before school or after school. So I don’t think the time you receive it has anything to do with whether your getting rejected or not!

i wish they wrote a post on the admissions blog this year like they have in previous years

@johnark19 I think since they have repeatedly said it will be all day it will be all day. This is the first year they are doing decisions like this so I highly doubt you can go by a blog from 2015.

@fatidiot everyone has access to the housing portal, but according to past year applicants’ experiences, if the status on your housing portal changes from “non-renewable undergraduate” to “freshman” that basically means you’re in. but remember that this change only happens right before you get your decision and sometimes even after you get accepted, so I wouldn’t stress about it. (no one has gotten this change yet)

okay thanks a lot! good luck to you! im international applicant for stern! @indiahyland GOOD LUCK!

@fatidiot thank u!!! YOU TOO!

guys got any gueses as to what time I should start constantly checking my nyu portal?

@camwow no one knows. just constantly refresh your email & make sure your email notifications are on! NYU will email u when your decision is out

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but is NYU everyone’s #1 school on the thread? I know a lot of people have several great schools to choose from already, so as these last hours wind down, I was just wondering if anyone will be contemplating their choices? Aloha!
