Waitlisted at stern 
A waitlist is pretty much a back-handed rejection. Really disappointed at not being able to attend my dream school.
Hey, are there 2 waitlist forms or just 1? because the one i received didnât specifically ask for an essay. it only asks to elaborate an interest in a second course choice if you have one, but i donât. where do i submit my essay? @RedMercury
should i write an essay about my interest in NYU even though i donât have a second choice course? or do we get another form? also, the NYU waitlist FAQ says, "You can relay your level of interest in NYU by way of our Waitlist Response Form online. There you will have the opportunity to express your interest level in NYU. " so what do i do? please help
@collegeme321 did you receive a second waitlist form?
@mmcowart My D was waitlisted for film production. 1420 SATs, has her IB Diploma already, and is on a gap year at film school in Europe. She was accepted to USC SCA for film production, so I thought she would have been accepted to NYU (her grandfather and aunt went there).
Hard to imagine people coming off the waitlist prior to May 1st. I mean thatâs what the waitlist is primarily for, to see the yield and offer NYU âbackupâ kids if their projections are off. I would think mid to late May into June they reach out to waitlisters. I wonder if they will give any weight to those who were waitlisted from ED?
@filmmomvt oh wow congratulations on USC! what an accomplishment. wishing your daughter the best no matter where she attends
@mmcowart I was wait-listed for film RD
So my financial circumstances have kind of changed since applying ED II, and I donât think I will be needing financial aid anymore. Since Iâm an international student, will being full pay help at all for getting off of the waitlist?
@salster , it canât hurt.
@mmcowart I hope you have good options or get in to NYU. We have to sort out the financial aid still for USC, because she didnât get any for some reason.
Does anyone have any info for Stern waitlist?
I asked them that and they said it doesnât matter because they are need blind
@dbender are you international? NYU is supposed to only be need blind for domestic applicants. If thatâs changed itâs noteworthy.
To Anyone With Questions About Waitlist Forms
I was Accepted off the ED Waitlist a few days ago
In the additional info section, I just wrote a couple of sentences showing that if I was accepted id 100% go. I think they just want to know that they wonât be waisting a spot on you.
I put down a bunch of programs id be interested in and got my original choice
What program? Congrats btw!!! @ysokol
@ysokol in which section exactly did you write that? For âIn the space below, you may elaborate on your interest in any of the particular schools, colleges, programs, or campuses noted above.â or for âPlease use the space below to inform the admissions committee of any updates since the time of your application (ex. honors, awards, new leadership positions, etc.). Please do not send any additional information to the admissions office separately, with the exception of your Final Report and final transcript.â?
Someone please help
p.s - im not choosing any other second choices
Did anyone get off the Stern waitlist? Is there any data regarding Sternâs empty spots this year?
@jp2001 âIn the space below, you may elaborate on your interest in any of the particular schools, colleges, programs, or campuses noted above.â â in that section i just expressed that if i were accepted id go. thats all it really took
