The fewer overall acceptances this year is likely due to them taking more of the class from ED, but I would think it also offers a little more hope for those on the waitlist than previous years.
NYU afaik has historically not released any data about the number of waitlisted places or number taken off the waitlist, other than indicating the waitlist is not ranked.
I was waitlisted for Photography and Imaging at Tisch. I really hope I still have a chance at getting in. I applied Regular Decision but really wish I put in my application for ED 2…
Yea. So I talked to a rep and she said they made an effort to accept a lot of waitlisted ED kids.
I wonder if the decisions will come out earlier this year
anyone waitlisted for film production? or know of anyone who was? I am yet to find a fellow waitlist person for tisch film prod.
Right here man i got waitlisted for tisch film production a while back when I ED’ed
Are they starting to accept people off the ED waitlist now? I see some ppl saying they got off the list.
@probableplanner I do not have any insider information, I am just a parent of a waitlisted student (Tisch/Drama) however, it seems to me that you do have a story to tell and should wrote that essay. The accomplishment is that you maintained your great grades while undergoing major health issues. That is something!
On another note, while I get that you really want to go to NYU, the school you attend does not define you and you can succeed no matter where you go. Best of luck to you.
@minsjog im hoping we are a short list of people. trying to see if anyones been accepted to film after being waitlisted in the past. hope we both can earn a slot and get off the waitlist!!
Waitlisted for Stern. When will be the day of notice? 5/1? Many thanks!
I got waitlisted for Stern back for EDII but i never got an email or any communication asking for an updated transcript ? i just checked my portal and saw that it’s pending. Really really wish i had seen it earlier 
@mmcowart I saw someone on twitter was waitlisted for film ED 2 (i think) and was accepted yesterday
How are people already being accepted off the waitlist? I thought they couldn’t determine their capacity until after at least May 1st? And also, does anyone know if people who got waitlisted ED/ED II have some sort of “priority”? Sorry for asking so many questions lol — NYU is definitely my dream school and I got waitlisted ED II to Stern
I was waitlisted ED 2 and emailed admissions with some questions and I asked about how they waitlisted ED applicants this year and not in years past. Admissions said that this was the first year they waitlisted ED students because they decided it would be more fair to the applicant to waitlist students directly from ED, instead of deferring them to RD, and then having to waitlist a student from RD. They said it is more fair because they will get the same decision but sooner. They also noted how it will reflect positively on a waitlist application if you applied through ED.
@salster ^^^^
@jkalltheway did they mention if they’re done accepting ED applicants off the waitlist? I applied ED I and I still haven’t submitted the second waitlist form because I thought they weren’t reviewing applications again until after May 1.
I applied ED II and was waitlisted for film and tv production. I am an IB student, and one out of the three kids from my school that applied ED II. Another kid was waitlisted, another rejected. The other kid that was waitlisted is not an IB student. However, he got an NYU acceptance yesterday, followed by something regarding IB scores (submission for July).
I am not sure if NYU messed up or not. Has this happened to anyone?
anyone else waitlisted for Steinhardt MCC?
Hi all! I found out yestertday that I got waitlisted for Steinhardt (applied psych). I’ve seen other people commenting about and essay section of their waitlist form however, mine doesn’t have one. I was just wondering if anyone else’s waitlist form was missing that part too.
@DelWilliams , I don’t think they want you to write an essay-only update them if you have recent achievements/awards since the original application.
