<p>Still nothing... I just really don't think it's a good sign.</p>
<p>Oh I am objective. NYU said they mail everything at basically the same time, acceptances, rejections, waitlist, and they say that invites are for a very small group</p>
<p>Well, not so true. </p>
<p>That is not bitternece. That is pointing out an inconsistency between what an organization says it does and what they actually do. For so many on this site that were rejected to find out after the 1st, while somehow they manageed to send out postcards to so many weeks ago, shows that sure their priority is those admitted, but they have little feelings for those rejected or waitlisted.</p>
<p>Its an administration thing that leaves a bad taste in the mouth.</p>
<p>My D and her friends got rejections for various schools, and they were timely, kind and respectful.</p>
<p>The NYU process is not so much in that line.</p>
<p>That is not bitter, that is coming from someone who has seen alot and seen how it should and can be done.</p>
<p>If you think I am bitter, I am not. We decided long ago that NYU was not the school for my D, she fell in love with another one. I feel bad for those that waited and waited while others knew weeks ahead, and what NYU says about how their process works isn't exactly reality</p>
<p>If this many people here got there letters days late, imagine how many out in the real world did.</p>
<p>No excuse, sorry</p>
<p>No excuse is needed. I consider anyone who heard today as hearing timely. "not days late". You refer to 'bitter' three times at least in your post. I suspect that reflects what is perhaps your real feeling. Never the less I hope your daughter excels at the college of her choice.</p>
<p>I used bitter because you did, it is called "responding" and using the words of an accusser back at them...its a wonderful way to make a point</p>
<p>as for timely, those that heard today don't think it was timely, so what you think is irrelvant to those that actually had to wait</p>
<p>Jeez, get a grip. No one cares, you said your daughter found a better school she fell in love with. Cool. And, yeah, you do sound pretty bitter. Don't even deny it.</p>
<p>I don't like when orgnaizations in any realm do things poorly, its a pet peave of mine and I can say what I want, thank you very much.</p>
<p>And because my D had no investment in NYU, I don't feel any attachment</p>
<p>If you read my other posts, you can see I am pretty consistent with my opinions on this type of thing</p>
<p>I feel bad for so many kids on this site right now, and some people don't</p>
<p>And that is apparent to me, and you are a newbie, we can gripe here even if we aren't personally invovled, imagine that</p>
<p>I need to know to make me feel better, is NYU really 52,000 a year?</p>
<p>Also do they only accept a certain amount of students from each high school?</p>
<p>I had higher stats then the people I know who got in, so I am a bit tweaked</p>
<p>D just got a no from NYU -- CAS, bummer. So she will happily to say yes to GW, and not close out the possibility of BU, where she's waitlisted. Good luck to all who are still waiting to hear from NYU.</p>
<p>Look, I'm still waiting for NYU (#1 choice) and I don't see their actions inappropriate at all. They received 35k applications and said that they will notify applicants AROUND 4/1. How do you make sure that all responses come on the same day?</p>
<p>Isn't 4/3 or 4/4 or even 4/5 still around that date they have annouced? Would I like to know my decision? Sure, but has NYU broken any promise? NO!</p>
<p>If they can send out thousands of postcards to the top students in a timely fashion, they can send out other mail in a timely fashion</p>
<p>from all that ive read and heard, one can quite easily conclude that
nyu saved the rejections for last. and i, too, believe it to be unfair, and caused unnecessary stress, and ultimately pain, to those now getting the rejections.</p>
<p>the invites, letters, etc. have been going out for weeks now. you can bet that nyu knew most everyone they were rejecting long before last week when the letters were mailed. in my d's case, it was her first choice, and she has been waiting on pins and needles, only to get the rejection letter today. had it come a few weeks ago, it would not have been so hard to take. </p>
<p>and i, too, believe that a university that inundated us w. materials for 6 months now, and takes pride in being fair, etc. should have sent out these rejections sooner. </p>
<p>no, everyone wont get in, and yes, nyu is still a great school, but it could've handled this in a more sensitive manner, while not compromising any of its goals.</p>
<p>i feel bad for all the kids, including my own, who kept hanging on to this hope, for far too long really.</p>
<p>Shadow I hope you get into NYU. I think you understand that being a bent out of shape bitter person is a huge negitive. Citygirlsmom is indeed laughable running from post to post claiming in the same breath that she is not bitter and that her and her daughter could care less about NYU. It's kind of sad really--I'm sure her daughter is taking the rejection much better than she is.</p>
<p>Rec'ed invitation too a while ago, but no acceptance letter here in NJ as of 4/2</p>
<p>I don't have a dog in this race this year (d. applied & was accepted last year, turned down NYU because of laughably weak financial aid) -- but as to the issue of early invites...... I just would like to say that the UC campuses do the same thing. My son got lots of mail from Santa Cruz, and my d. received an early invitation to a reception for "high achieving" students at Santa Cruz -- both before official admission letters came out. As far as I know, many colleges do that.</p>
<p>I know it doesn't feel good to have a rejection or waitlist.... but I think it's pretty typical for colleges to give their favored applicants the VIP treatment. They don't do it with the idea that the ones who don't get invitations will find out about on internet boards -- that's just a byproduct of boards like this one. I mean, there are kids on Ivy-threads who posted they got likely letters when others were waiting to hear -- and kids getting invited to scholarship weekends at other colleges. Some colleges give early write admissions to many of their students. It's just the way it works. As far as I know, most colleges do wait until the end to send out the waitlist/rejection notices. I've heard of kids getting early writes/ likely letters in advance -- but never an early rejection unless it is a rolling admission school.</p>

<p>This also applies to me.</p>
<p>I hope Bshadow gets accepted as well!</p>
<p>People are still being accepted, today my very good friend got accepted into CAS. I'm sure they will keep sending out acceptances throughout the week.</p>
<p>nothing for me today</p>
<p>I have to wait until I go home this Thursday to find out. I am not expecting an acceptance, but still, I hope that I get in.</p>
<p>It's not that they're saving rejections for last...It's that some applicants they see as sure admits so they can send them out earlier, but they're being sensitive by not taking out anyone as a sure-reject, until the end when they have an idea of the entire applicant pool. I only got my columbia rejection letter today btw, and don't have my ucla acceptance package yet, so there really isn't a correlation between how good a school is, or whether acceptances get priority mail treatment. It's just the simple fact that they can tell whose at the top of the pile early, but find it hard to differentiate between the borderline admits, and borderline rejections until the very end.</p>
<p>yay for borderline rejects! :)
i suppose that being a BR will give me a better chance of getting off the waitlist.. right?</p>
