Thanks for the input dude! I honestly think it may have to do with the major/school people applied to. I applied under media, culture, and communications in Steinhardt.
Adding onto what @imbabyxoxo said, I also submitted my pre-May 1st waitlist form very late and did not receive a secondary email last week. I hope that’ll be the correlation there because I do have relatively high stats (36 ACT, and 3.96 GPA). I hope that doesn’t sound too obnoxious, but I just wanted to put out my personal situation with the waitlist possibilities and that maybe some strong candidates from the waitlist have a chance even without the email. Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing for sure until this week, so I guess we’ll have to see! Good luck, everyone!
Just to give some people more info for letter received stuff - I’m RD and applied to Stern. I’m from Illinois. I submitted my wait list form about 1 week after decisions came out (early april). I got the email may 2nd at 6:24 pm. Asian female, no extraordinary ECs, good recs, 3.6 gpa, 1560 SAT (so I’m def not some glowing over qualified candidate)
Wishing everybody here the best of luck! This really is a crap shoot and doesn’t determine your worth! You’re all going to be rock stars wherever you end up!
Same here to @collegepete343
I’m submitted my waitlist form on April 29th and have not received an email. Hopefully that proves a stronger correlation to the time-submitted/email factor? I’m also a relatively high-stats applicant (1570, 4.0), but I don’t think Pete seems to get that tons of qualified applicants don’t get into these schools even with those scores and GPAs. Just have to hope high, I guess 
The more and more I think about it, I do think when you submitted the waitlist form has something to do with whether you received the email or not. I remembered submitting one form almost immediately and another one a little later. However, you would need a larger sample to tell if the correlation in any way is statistically significant. Regardless, I wish you guys the best of luck tomorrow or whenever else the decision comes out! I know we all worked hard in high school but believe me you will succeed no matter where you go. It’s all about staying motivated. Sorry if I sound like your parents haha.
I read last years forum. It seems stern people found out later than everybody else. Just as reference so we don’t all panic tomorrow.
@extremelynervous Thanks for letting us know
Damn that was a really good Game of Thrones episode. It seems that some didn’t enjoy it as much, but I liked how well it called back to the old-school, grounded feel of Game of Thrones politics.
Is this related to NYU’s waitlist? Well, yes, but no. We should all relax a bit. I don’t even think the first wave is going to be tomorrow because of the fact that they need to review all the forms that came in for a day, but I guess we’ll have to see.
@InterestingRegular1 The yes-no answers can be automated
Hope we’ll all end our waiting tmr. Good luck guys!
Do y’all wanna start a snap group or something so we can get more immediate answers when decisions begin coming out?
Yessss
dm me your snaps and i’ll create a gc for panic times haha. Or does this site even have a dm option? im not sure. if not, drop your snaps
@extremelynervous Don’t think there is a DM option unless I’m blind lol but my snap is @allyy.23 
@extremelynervous I DM’ed you on CC. Please add me to the snap gc!
Do any of you know what time they have come out in the past?
Waitlist acceptances don’t come out all at the same time the way that regular acceptances do. Schools have gaps to fill so they will send out some offers, wait to see how many of those are snapped up, send out some more if there’s still room. So really guys - don’t wait at the edge of your seat. This may take a while.
@extremelynervous How do I DM you on CC? Ive been following this thread for a few days now but I only just made an account! I would really want to be in the gc just because of how comforting it is to have people like me.
Also Good Luck to everyone eagerly waiting!!
@StevolovesTisch I think you have to be at least a junior member to be able to DM.
Good luck everyone! Hopefully our wait ends today!
@Divyansh201 Thanks! @extremelynervous just add me on snap @sonraku !
