I think they will let most people know by next week according to past threads. Most people find out by the 25th @kenzielouwho @scholar861
Stern waitlist here as well, and I know a few people at my school who got into Stern but are not attending.
In any case, as people mentioned earlier in the thread, there has to be a large number of people who got in but won’t attend in order for NYU/Stern to start pulling from the waitlist.
I looked at other NYU Waitlist threads (Class of 2018 and 19) and more than 5 people are admitted around May 11-13. So we will have to wait almost another month!!
@scholar861 can you post some picture or link of the person who got off the waitlist?
@Sassygogo Sure, but do you know how to post a picture on here? Idk if I can put the link cause it was in the NYU Class of 2020 fb group and it is a closed group. You can try to join and see yourself.
I wouldn’t be too hopeful for next week because they said they’re not even revisiting applications until May first so idk 
Do you think we’ll get wait list results within the first two weeks of May?
@terr24lr Yes. However, some do get it late May/early June
I probably should’ve asked this a while ago, but did anyone receive a confirmation email after submitting the RSVP form? Are we supposed to receive one?
@Canon7130 I didn’t, but I think we are suppose to receive a confirmation email after May 1st.
I seriously doubt that anyone has been admitted from the waitlist already when they clearly said that they won’t even begin considering waitlist candidates until AFTER May 1 (I also called them to confirm this), which is the last date for people to commit to NYU. That person you guys are talking about probably had some very different circumstances.
I was waitlisted at Gallatin, but on the RSVP form I listed CAS, Silver, and Steinhardt as my backups. Since Gallatin was my first choice and the division I originally applied to, will I be considered less for spots in the schools I listed as backups? Or will I just be added to the lists for them and have just as much a chance as anyone else? I just hope I didn’t hurt my chances, because I’d truly be happy in any program related to my field of interest, regardless of the specific school.
Guys, I’m freaking out. Like, waiting for colleges to respond makes you feel like you’re in some sort of fantasy world because you don’t have the obligation of applying to college but you also haven’t heard back from anyone so it just feels so unreal and like college is never actually going to come but now it’s here-it is coming. But now we have to wait even longer so I’ve kind of been in that dream like state for NYU because I’ve just been waiting so I have kind of subconsciously been feeling like “oh, I’m not gonna get rejected” but at the same time like “oh, I’d never get accepted” because when you’re wait listed both of those can be totally plausible and I don’t know which one I actually believe but I just kind of realized that this is actually happening and in a matter of weeks I will actually get either accepted or rejected from NYU and I have no idea what to do after that. I don’t know if I want to go to community college for a year or two and transfer or if I want to go to the next best school that I got into (University of Washington) and then transfer. But UW doesn’t even have my major and I don’t want to go in state and it would be so much more expensive than community and I might end up just staying there and getting some job that I don’t even like because I never got around to reapplying to NYU but community college is only 2 years so I’ll have a specific dead line of when I’ll have to transfer so I won’t be able to fall down that rabbit hole as easily but also it is going to be so difficult to hold down a job to pay for an apartment while also going to school full time and pay for all of the things that would fall under room and board if I were to go to a real university plus I want to have the 4 year university experience, I don’t want to come into NYU as a sophomore or junior, I want to go to college with my class all four years and graduate with four years of going to the same college. Anyways, I’m just freaking out. I’ve emailed the admissions people a couple times just asking random questions so that they know I’m still interested. And I wrote a bunch for my RSVP form and even submitted it twice just to make sure it was confirmed. I’m just really nervous. On the one hand I feel like my chances of getting in are so much higher because they are at least interested in me but at the same time I feel so horrible about my application and they’ll only want me if they have enough room and if they have barely any room I don’t think I’m going to be their first pick off the wait list. I know they don’t rank their wait list but there are obviously some people who just have a better chance of getting off of it in the event that there is enough room and I am not a person with a good chance of getting off it. I just feel so nervous but I need to be sending out positive vibes because I feel like if I am too negative about it I will jinx it and ruin my chances even more. I know stuff like horoscopes and vibes and jinxing is all bogus but sometimes you just have to do whatever you need to to make yourself feel better.
I was also wait listed for Tisch Film and Television.
Are we getting our decisions around next week?
@webwatcher66 you need to calm downnnnnnn…it’s going to be alright. Tbh a rejection or acceptance from NYU should never be a defining factor of your life. You’re not going to be infinitely happier by going/not going to NYU. It definitely is how you make of the experience which is ofc enhanced by NYC, but you’re the only one responsible for your happiness. Also, admissions requested that nobody on the wait list call or email them. As they said, they have all of the materials needed for consideration. If you wrote a lot on your rsvp list I assume that they will take it as a lot of interest. I know it’s definitely a stressful time, but please don’t emotionally invest in a college. If you do get accepted, great, but if you don’t it will honestly feel bad. And I’m speaking from experience, but sooner or later you will forget about your dream college. Life goes on, and we realize the bigger and better things. I would really advise you to separate yourself emotionally from this process, and just take it with a grain of salt. If you believe that NYU or NYC is for you, then set up goals related to your interests and pursue and plan! I hope you do get in, and keep the faith. Don’t believe in any of the jinxing crap, in the end it is really ourselves that get us to the places we want to be in.
@scholar861 I would say in the next two weeks!
@scholar861 yep, i’d say hopefully within the next two weeks since there are still going to be a few people submitting their statement of intent forms last minute within this week
@Sassygogo @CollegeBoundorNah Thanks!
Is it important for me to put additional information on the RSVP form?
