<p>it will be quite difficult but you can cross your fingers and hope for the best. I believe they took 60 out of 1600 off the waitlist last year. Thats for NYU as a whole with all the schools included(Tisch, Gallatin, Steinhardt, CAS, Stern...). It should get more competetive this year with so many applicants. Stern should have 500 class, but it doesn't hurt to try. send them all the updates and try to convince them to take you off the waitlist. many highly qualified students this year were either rejected or wait listed, it will be tough. best of luck, hopefully something can work out.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, 1600 were OFFERED a spot on the waitlist last year. So, your chances could be better considering not all people accepted their spots. I wish you the best of luck!</p>
