NYU 2018 Transfer Forum

[suckmysolidsnake]

If my app went complete on 06/29 and I haven't gotten called yet, is that a bad sign? I honestly would just rather know so I can decide if I'm staying in NYC or leaving.

I've been UR1 since 6/26 and there's been no update... I called the admissions office after ojpossum's good news to see if they are still releasing decisions this week, and apparently they are still planning to send out decisions, so I guess maybe we are just lost in some pile somewhere...

What tier is your school? I'm willing to bet serious money that everyone not in a T1 is being held out until seats for transfers are occupied by those in the T1 and T14.

I'm in a T2 and my status hasn't updated since the 29th.
Same with another one of the posters above who went UR1 on the 29th.
And now you with the 26th (if you're at a T2).

I'm at a T14...

ahh, well that destroys my theory

[sourbritecrawlers3]

Surprisingly in today. Application submitted on 7/1 and status never went complete. On the application status "requirement list", college questionnaire remains unchecked (not sure if it's a mistake).

edit: T14, Top 35% gpa, no "why nyu"

I'm from a T2 so I'm worried. I really just want to know so I can know if I'm staying in NYC and secure housing.

Congrats!

Has anyone been dinged btw? Or does NYU like to ding everyone at once

I don't know but I wish that if I was going to get dinged, I would just get dinged now. The suspense is killing me.

Does anyone else have their last UR as 7/3. Applied 6/10 I can't remember when I went complete but haven't seen any changes since 7/3 and starting to worry.

I haven't seen any changes since 6/29 so I've pretty much given up hope. I sent in my application on May 21 but my undergrad took forever to get my college questionnaire in so my app didn't become complete until about the 29th. Haven't seen movement since.

I've emailed them explaining the urgency of my situation, I have to move out of my apartment in 2 weeks and if I don't hear in time that means I'll be moving to Chicago. Their response was that everyone would have a decision my mid-August....I'm hoping to hear somthing tomorrow.

Omg I have the same dilemma! I got into Northwestern but I'm waiting on NYU. I have to secure an apartment in Chicago if I don't get into NYU or Chicago and I also have to be out of my apartment by 09/01 even if I stay in NYC so if I do stay, I have to start apartment hunting STAT if I don't get housing. I also literally got the same email.

not sure if this is helpful information for you but when I had a similar dilemma I made the choice not to deposit at a school because I spent a lot of time reading the LSAC websites and found out that as of May 15 LSAC updates a list of people with deposits at other schools and that that information and its viewable to admissions people including at those schools where your application is pending. I'd wager it might be possible they've seen you deposit at another school

but that's just a guess

Possibly but I did email the Admissions Office and let them know that I had a deposit deadline. I also did imply that NYU was my first choice. I thought that the email might actually backfire but I wanted to see if they had made a decision on my app or not. Just out of curiosity, does this mean that as of May 15 of this year, LSAC does this? Or as of May 15 of every year, LSAC updates the list of people with deposits? Because I put down my deposit in July. The problem with not putting a deposit down is the risk that you're taking because you're giving up your seat.



EDIT: I just checked the LSAC website and it says May 15 of each year. I think that policy only applies to students applying the first time around, not transfer students. Because I submitted my deposit in early July.

I think that this policy only applies to people applying for the 1L year, not to transfer students. Though, I'm sure if LSAC updates the list, as they do periodically after May 15 I believe, they can see if transfers have two deposits down (or one down).

I wouldn't think it matters who the process is designed for -- there are still students on waitlists for 1L admissions for instance so I agree with above, as long as they periodically update then they'll probably be able to see the multiple deposits. I only offer this info because if you think of transferring as a school's new extra money game it would make sense that they'd want to admit students who have no conflicts first so they'd have that extra assurance that they're probably going to pick NYU. I honestly don't know if it's something that's relevant but I just wanted to offer that info up in case you hadn't contacted them about it, or anyone else hasn't! glad you have!

No, I'm glad you said something because I honestly had no idea. I wasn't even aware of that policy. So thank you! I went back and forth for a really long time on whether or not I should even email NYU because I was afraid it might backfire but my sister encouraged me to.

[sc564]

is it safe to assume that all spots have been filled at NYU?

[ReganSays]

You never know, but if you look at past threads acceptances have been given as late as August and it's common for some to come at the end of July as well.

[notellewoods]

I wish NYU would hurry up and let me know either way because if I'm not staying NYC, I have to get an apartment in Chicago.

[sc564]

What was the seat deposit deadline for the most recently accepted transfer students?
