NYU Waitlist 2023

I got waitlisted off ED I but I applied for music business at Steinhardt

I got waitlisted for music biz at Steinhardt as well. I’m hoping for the best. Good luck to you! Maybe we will be in class together next year

yes!!! good luck!!! did you apply to any other schools with a music business program?

I got waitlisted after applying EDII. 4.0 gpa, 1320 sat score (680 english, 640 math). I’ve only taken 2 ap classes but have been in honors all four years. I’ve won an abundance of art and writing awards and applied to the school of arts and sciences as an English major. I included that I’ve danced for 12 years, did community service for my studio every Friday for the last three years, and am president of the student council and art club. Most of the replies I’ve seen thus far have shown high gpas/ap classes/sat scores so hopefully this helps out those on the lower end. Personally, I believe I was waitlisted because of my essay. All my other scores are much lower than what they typically accept.

i got waitlisted fro tisch drama…reallyyyyyy hoping to get off of it…

Daughter waitlisted today for dance… fingers crossed

I just got waitlisted for Bio…
Stats: 1540 SAT
GPA: 3.85 UW, 4.4 W
I have taken 10 AP classes total (20 semesters worth) and have taken one honors class (Pre-Calc Honors). I have pretty good ECs: four years sport including varsity captain, charity league for six years, intern at a dermatology office for two years, intern at a women’s health center for two years, and I worked for four years as a part-time nanny to two families. My essays were pretty solid so probably 8/10 if I’m being critical.
I really want to go to NYU, but am hesitant to write an essay in the response section. I don’t have any new accomplishments, but there is one event that really shattered my senior year. This year, I was diagnosed with a kidney disease that will impact me for the rest of my life and had to get surgery for it. I missed a month of school and I originally thought I wasn’t going to be able to attend college in the fall because of it. However, I have been able to keep all As senior year despite everything. I really want to go to NYU and this feels like a second chance. This event isn’t really an accomplishment or an award, but I am still curious if I should write about it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Got waitlisted for psychology. Gonna ask to be considered for other things tho as well

Waitlisted at Stern

Stats-
1570 SAT
36 ACT
4.4 W GPA 3.7 UW GPA
12 AP classes and mostly honors otherwise
Lots of extracurriculars, volunteering, and work experience (including leadership positions)

Anyone know the percent chance of being accepted at this point?

Hi, I’m currently a freshman that was accepted off the waitlist last year. Put effort into the essay on the waitlist form, indicate other possible areas that you might be interested in (waitlist applicants were only admitted to Liberal Studies, Tandon, and Steinhardt last year), and try not to stress out too much. I was in your position last year and I know how you must be feeling right now. Don’t give up hope!

Hey guys. Don’t give up hope! I was waitlisted ED 2 to SPS and was accepted today! I have a 3.26 and a 1240 GPA No Ap classes! If I can do it I know for a fact a lot of you can! I’m confused because I didn’t think I would here back til after May 1st but I will gladly take the acceptance!

Good Luck to you all!

Waitlisted for Tisch.

@AllyM23 which program did you get waitlisted for?

Congrats @jkalltheway !!! I really hope that they release waitlist stuff earlier. I’m very interested in the fact that NYU for the first time waitlisted ED applicants and had such drastic changes in the numbers of acceptances awarded. Last year was 15,000 people for 6,500 spots and this year it is 12,000 for 6,500 spots.

waitlisted today for comp sci major. I asked to be considered for liberal studies program as well. I turned in my response form immediately after receiving the email, so the essay isnt great but I still feel like it expresses my interest well. I feel good about the fact that I can submit another form before may 1st though, in case i want to add to my essay. any tips about what to include in the first essay form which asks about elaborating on your interest in any other schools?

I got waitlisted for Econ and maths at CAS

Got accepted off the waitlist yesterday!! SPS

@symonaidanasa Drama

@bbeft13 So there are 6,500 waitlist spots this year as well? Or is that an estimate?

@AllyM23 I do not know how many waitlist spots they have but I know that they offered less acceptances this year. I found this info from the NYU article where they released stats.
