NYU Waitlist Thread Class of 2020

It’s most likely wait list for first choice.

When do we find out about our decisions?

Omg 300 words? How long does it need to be???

okay mine accidentally turned into a mini essay oops @scholar861

@kenzielouwho Lol that’s a good thing! That shows that you really are interested in attending NYU.

I seriously got waitlisted everywhere so idk what I’m going to do :((

idk guys this has been such a stressful experience…i’m submitting my rsvp and giving up. i can’t stand to have my hopes get smashed for the third time this spring. best of luck, peace out

Okay so I didn’t realize that there was two writing sections sooo i combined my interest in the program with achievements what should I do I dont want to rewrite everything :((

Hey guys, I made a group me for the wait listed people You’re invited to my new group ‘Class of 2020 Waitlist NYU’ on GroupMe. Click here to join: https://■■■■■■■■■■■/join_group/20953111/bFQXl

Waitlisted as well :slight_smile: So what are the chances someone gets of the waitlist

Just got waitlisted for Gallatin. Before I heard back (in anticipation of a bad result) I was planning on sending a personalized letter to admissions and possibly a professor or two to appeal - NYU has been my top school for as long as I can remember and while I’m glad I wasn’t rejected, being waitlisted was heartbreaking. Many kids at my school with worse stats and fewer accomplishments in my same demographic were accepted so I guess it proves that the college admissions process can be a total crapshoot sometimes - don’t get down on yourselves! We are all very qualified and being given the rare opportunity for a second chance. In any event, they said to not send in any more supplementary materials (I’m assuming this includes letters/emails) so I just poured my heart out in the RSVP responses and I’m hoping for the best. Best of luck to all of you!

S waitlisted. Last of his schools to come back.

It did not say on the email, but if you fill out the I wish to be added to the waitlist" card, it actually asks you what school you applied for…which seems odd - but I think they lump everyone together. While I am moving on - I would still like to see what happens. A lot of people can’t wait until July or August to make a decision on where to go to school. Plus the other universities want non refundable deposits, upwards of $800. Another thing to think about, if you start down the path of accepting another school and line up room mates, etc. - it’s not exactly a kind thing to dump them because NYU finally found a spot for you two weeks before college starts. I doubt this is helpful, but it’s my take on it.

Your group is no longer joinable

It said it’s final and cannot be changed once you hit the button. Ugh…

Can’t believe NYU is going to string me along like this for another two months or so. Esp since I was waitlisted to Stern, my chances are so slim compared to CAS people. AHHHHHH

S was waitlisted for Tisch Production & Design, will submit the RSVP but will commit to another school at this point since there is no guarantee. BTW, Email did not specify Tisch just general NYU. Good luck everyone!

How much did you guys write for the RSVP thingy about your interest in the schools?

@scholar861 Not that much. I don’t think NYU is looking for another supplemental essay. I think they just want to make sure that you’re still interested in the school and not staying on the waitlist just for the sake of it

@ClassOf2020x lol oops I think I wrote more than 300 words …
