NYU Waitlist Thread Class of 2020

I thought I’d make this thread for all of us unfortunate people who got waitlisted from NYU. Does anyone happen to know about how many students they accept off of the waitlist each year?

Unrelated, but what about the other campuses/programmes of interest??

Here’s a FAQ about being waitlisted at NYU http://www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/wait-list-faq.html

Are you guys putting a lot of effort into the writing sections of the rsvp ?

@PlanningMyFuture I just explained my ambition to attend CAS.

Idk how this really works but I do have a good number of new awards to mention.

Does anyone know if when we submit the RSVP makes a difference? Like if we have a greater chance of being accepted if we submit it earlier?

Also does anyone know if there’s a limit on how much we can write for the interest question?

Wait listed is the worst honestly. I wish I would have gotten rejected. Now I’m going to have to pay enrollment and housing deposit for GWU or Fordham and see if I get accepted after all that. Part of me hopes to get accepted to NYU but I don’t want to keep playing this waiting game.

being wait listed feels a lot like not good enough.

Does anyone’s wait list letter tell them which college they are wait listed for? I applied to Tisch (dance) so I am assuming that I am wait listed for Tisch?

@scholar1998 My daughter also applied for Tisch dance and was wait listed I’m wondering if we’ll get something separate from Tisch or if this email from NYU is it.

@scholar1998 No, mine didn’t specify.

Got waitlisted to my last 2 schools today :confused:

Does anyone know if it would make much of a difference if I switched to a different school (CAS) on the RSVP thing?

@ParksAndWrecked I’m asking to be considered for LSP on mine, because I feel like I’ll have a better chance of getting in there than CAS.

@waitlisted2785 Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Not sure of how much of a difference it would make, but hey everything helps

can we go back in and edit the rsvp? I’m on my phone and it wouldn’t load the interest question

my daughter also got waitlisted for dance at Tisch-- do you know how many were accepted into the program?

I was waitlisted for film and television for Tisch…anybody else?

Did anyone wait listed at Tisch actually have Tisch specified on the email or was it just from NYU? @coszette I don’t know how many were accepted into dance.

Letter from NYU- not Tisch specifically
