Waitlisted at NYU Stern

Applying to College
1

<p>i just got my waitlist letter from NYU. i applied to stern with intended major: fiance. my gpa was around 3.5-3.6 UW, and my SAT was 2180. i had a lot of EC's, and i thought my essays were pretty solid. my friend who had both a lower GPA and SAT score than me got in. can someone tell me this is a joke???? nyu was my top choice. i feel horrible :(</p>

<p>did anyone else get waitlisted and feel as if you didnt deserve it? what are my chances of getting off the wait list? how will this affect me financial aid-wise and housing-wise if i do get in?</p>

<p>Your chances of getting off are slim. Many end up taking the acceptance to NYU Stern but there’s a slight bit of hope.</p>

<p>Financial aid-wise and housing… won’t matter. Same package anyway. NYU will meet your full need (maybe not the way you want them to) but they will.</p>

<p>I got waitlisted at NYU Gallatin and now I can’t help but wonder if I should have applied for CAS instead.</p>

<p>I see. Anyone else have an opinion about this?</p>

<p>Dude I feel you. Take a look at my thread. I got good stats in people’s opinion but got rejected by Stern as well.

<p>Eh, NYU is expensive and many admitted students don’t choose to attend for that reason. If you’re ok with crappy financial aid, you might as well get in.</p>

<p>Any news about Wait list activity yet?</p>

<p>Hi, dont mean to make u feel any worse or anythng but i actually got into NYU with much lower stats than yours <em>scratching head</em> dunno y, but i declined the admission (its way too expensive plus im international) so im sure ul get pulled off the waitlist soon. :)</p>

<p>LOL @ Stern.</p>

<p>A kid I know wrote on his application something like: “I don’t know much about economics or business since I plan on becoming a doctor. But Stern is a really great school and if you take a chance on me, I’m sure I’ll end up liking business.”</p>

<p>He got in (xDDDDD!!) and he’ll be attending next year.</p>
