<p>I think what josephyang meant was that among all the waitlisted applicants of Stern, only about 10 of them will receive an offer of acceptance off the waitlist.</p>
<p>The admissions rate from the wait list is likely somewhat dependent on two things.
- The economy. NYU is expensive, man. Based on what families can contribute in the United States’ current economic condition, financial aid offers, and the fact that NYU really is somewhat of a “dream school,” some people may not be able to accept their offers, which would open up spots on the wait list.
- Program spaces. If someone in a specific program turns down admission, they will probably pull someone off the wait list who wants to study in that program, and they’ll pick the most interesting person available. Make sure you’re a standout. I applied for music composition and theory, and I’m sending them my newest sheet music, and I sent a letter in calligraphy to show that I am (a. artistic, and (b. continuing to create music because I love to, not because I needed to for my portfolio or to get into college.
I’m pretty confident, because a lot of (frickin’ smart) people use NYU as a safety school, and still others also apply to ivies and get in, and decide to go there.</p>
<p>I was admitted (CAS) but am not attending so good luck guys</p>
<p>nathansin basically clarified what i meant. </p>
<p>On other note, besides sending a letter did you guys do anything else? I sent an email (without any response). I didn’t add any supplementary materials such as recommendations, grades, or the like because I called them up and they said all they wanted was a letter. But I was thinking that sending additional stuff wouldn’t hurt… or would that just seem too annoying to the admissions office?</p>
<p>at this point, according to my gc, a letter is enough</p>
<p>@texasian:</p>
<p>If you are uninterested in joining the NYU wait list, you don’t have to send a letter or notify them that you are declining. Simply don’t do anything. My friend was notified that he had the possibility of putting his name on the wait list, but since he already knew where he wanted to go, he just didn’t do anything.</p>
<p>If you have already put your name on the wait list through the NYU website (NYU doesn’t have a wait list signup through mail), then you can call the admissions office and thank them for their consideration but that you would like to decline their offer of wait list.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>is it to late to send in the letter of continued interest, by tomorrow?
And does anyone know if I can email it? And to what address it is?</p>

<p>i second this question</p>
<p>I sent in my letters through express mail today…but even when it’s express, the lady told me that it’s gonna reach NYU on the 29th.I hope they still have time to read it.</p>
<p>so close to may, cant wait</p>
<p>Anyone hear anything yet? lol</p>
<p>nope. last year, though, i think all the people accepted from the wait list got a phone call and/or email on may 5. the rest didn’t get any notices until mid to late may i believe.</p>
<p>i called admissions office yesterday. they said they still don’t if there are open spots available until maybe next week.</p>
<p>well, aren’t admissions people notorious for lying? -___-</p>
<p>any news??</p>
<p>not yet…PLEASE don’t tell me I didn’t get taken off the waitlist?! Or is everyone else still waiting too?</p>
<p>I haven’t been taken off. And I’m getting really nervous. =(</p>
<p>…still waiting too!!! it’s killing me!</p>
<p>bumpp</p>
<p>anybody hear anything yet? anybody call them to find out and get an answer??</p>
<p>i emailed them on tuesday and they said that they still have yet to decide if they are going to tap into the waitlist.
when i called, they said if they do go to the waitlist, we’ll start hearing on monday ish</p>
