NYU c/o 2018 Applicants (2014-2015) Forum

[idissent]

got a call from another school congratulating me and telling me about my scholarship on a sunday, but idk if she was calling from home or working from the office? shout out to them if they're in the office on a sunday and not watching football/drinking mimosas/napping like they could be.

my status is UR2 as of today too.

Submitted 1/8
Complete 1/9
UR1 1/12

Surprised to see so much movement so soon after submitting. I'm guessing this is either very good or very bad!

[checkin2014]

finally UR2 today as well. went UR 1/6.

[leslieknope]

Still on UR 1 with the same submit/UR 1 dates as other people ITT on UR 2... what does it all meaaaaaan

(probably that your reader worked over the weekend and mine didn't. or maybe that i'm dinged. or both!)

I am in the same boat. Relax. I am sure there is an element of randomness in all this. It is not all scrupulously planned to the very last detail. Our files are probably at the bottom of the January pile. Or maybe we are simply doomed to be dinged and there is no hope or salvation for us. Whichever you think is more likely.

Hopefully this a good sign!

[DrSpaceman]

Submitted 12/20. UR1 12/29. Nothing since.

I'm expecting a ding though, so YMMV.

I hope this isn't a dumb question but is "UR1" different from "Under Review?" My status checker has said "Under Review" ever since being completed in the first week of January...

Nope, UR1 is the same as Under Review. The number after UR indicates whether the date on the status checker changed after going to "Under Review" (1 is the first time it goes Under Review, 2 is for the first date change, etc.).

So helpful, thanks!

Okay, so we can all agree that the following, from the what to expect when you're expecting thread:

NYU
Application Being processed
Under Review (a few days)
UR 1 (date change)
UR 2 (date change)
Decision Letter Sent (DLS)

Should actually read?:

Same UR1 date, same silence since. Above both 75ths.

I think it varies. some people had a date change of one day (1/18, 1/19) between UR and UR1, then presumably they'll have a UR2. I (and a few others, I think) never noticed or had the one day date change.

[wogusdh]

Yup and some people like myself were admitted without having gone through UR 2 at all, so don't lose hope, UR1er's!

Yeah, as long as the note below it saying that the number of UR dates varies stays there. It seems uncommon for people ITT to say UR before UR1.

[usernotfound]

I've been UR1 since 11/5/14. So, it doesn't exactly always follow that schedule.

[sirstynkalot]

The neurotic tendencies are becoming overwhelming...

[Smoking Gunner]

Anyone know what the turnaround is for deferred ED applicants? Any chance we could hear back in the next wave? Or are deferred apps all put at the bottom of the pile?

Makes sense to me. I haven't heard anyone referencing it just as UR.

[owlinentertainment]

And I thought my UR1 12/5 was driving me crazy! Hopefully we'll both hear something soon.

Why does everyone seem to have an UR date of 1/5 or 1/6 (myself included)?

What's the normal lag time between UR 1 and UR 2 (if there is such a thing as normal)?

Probably because that's when the admin officers returned from NYE break and resumed work.

There doesn't seem to be a 'normal' time lag I think. Some hear back within weeks and some, within months.

Glad I'm not the only one stuck at 12/5!
