NYU ED 2010

[zapper]

Applied early, got "hold" letter today dated Dec 9. Went complete Dec 1.

Anybody know how "holds" generally fare?

[jjjj783]

Maybe I'm missing something, but how could they not ask for your name when checking whether your own letter has been mailed out?

Well, I would prefer to just ask them a general question: (i.e. when are the ED letters going out vs. when is *my* letter going to be sent)

[acdisagod]

what's the difference between hold and waitlist?

Another day without mail from NYU... fuck...

Damn, now I've got to go check.

Nope. Nothing in the mailbox at all. I'll just pretend the mailman hasn't come by yet. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is filming just down the road, so a lot of the streets around my house are closed.

Wow.. well that is interesting at least.. are you still living in FL?

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Wow.. well that is interesting at least.. are you still living in FL?

Yes, and I'm ready to leave. Today's weather: 75 degrees and sunny. In the MIDDLE of DECEMBER. You'd think that would never get old, but it does.

Ya I live in Fort Myers.. so I know what ya mean. It is nice, but it gets old... well, and Fort Myers gets old, very old...

Same... but I got into Michigan today so not a total loss but NYU would just be that much sweeter.

Ah yes, but you'll miss the competitive shuffleboard tournaments when they're gone.

Hahaha... true... maybe I could find those in NYC (or DC.. if the rest of my cycle goes to shit)

[thorntll]

Nothing in the mail today.

[acdisagod]

No mail from NYU today...wtf. It's been 6 days sicne they allegedly mailed it

[rockchalk86]

Here is my OVERLY-optimistic theory. All the Held/Waitlisted people actually had letters sent on the 9th and acceptances sent a little later so they would come closer to Christmas. Like I said, overly-optimistic but what the hell. Gotta dream big kiddos.

[acdisagod]

Lol, that is the most overly optimistic theory I've ever heard. I like it

Well.. I will say that when I called on the 10th my letter hadn't been mailed yet, and they said the decision would be mailed soon, and I could expect it early this week. So many ands...

For those who received their hold letters yesterday, what day were they actually mailed on?

[zapper]

what's the difference between hold and waitlist?

as far as I can tell, "hold" means no final decision has been made, and the applicant will be reviewed again in the greater pool of applicants (i.e. the RD applicants). so "holds" can still get accepted, denied, or waitlisted and will find out by end of April.

I guess "waitlist" is "we've decided that we'll let you in if a spot opens up" but I dunno.

[acdisagod]

Got the hold letter today. 3.6 171. Sucks, but I'm not too upset. Hopefully I'll get my first acceptance soon.

sad this situation is looking bleaker by the day. were you a dec. 9? i'm sure you will hear good news soon with your numbers though.

edit: just kidding, saw the answer on the nyu thread (not that i'm checking it compulsively or anything).

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Still nothing today. Shit.

[mayosmith]

Got my deferral in the mail today. DR 12/9. PM fer numbers if you like.

[acdisagod]

Yea, I was decided on the 9th. As I said, not too upset, I wasn't even going to bother applying to NYU until I got a compeltely unexpected LSAT score.

[kdw246]

hold letter today. 172/3.4 from NYU undergrad. letter dated december 9 and postmarked dec 12.

[ChaotiCait]

If you get put on hold then you are no longer bound to attend, correct?
