NYU c/o 2019 Applicants (2015-2016) Forum

[periwinkley]

I'm visiting NYC over spring break and I've been stuck on UR1 for nearly a month now. I saw on the website you can visit the office of admissions, but that it's not going to affect your application. Is there anything I can do while I'm there besides visit campus and maybe sit in on a class?

Visited last week, you can sit a class or talk to a admission officer on Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you so much for the reply! Was the conversation helpful? Do you think it made a difference to your application? Do you have to schedule ahead of time?

Anyone who applied ED and got deferred see any progress? I have been UR since 11/19 and only received one email that I was deferred on 12/15. No tracker update, email or call since 11/19.

Thanks and congrats to all who have been receiving good news!!!!

I was deferred too and haven't heard anything since the email in december. anyone have an idea when we'll finally get an answer? at this point i just want to know

[wellreallynow]

anyone know how many people get offered RTK interviews vs. how many end up getting the scholarship?

In past cycles it's been suggested that around 60 get interviews to fill ~20 spots, though this is secondhand information and obviously could be subject to change.

just went UR1, that was fast.

Wonder how much longer RTK calls will go out... *crosses fingers*

+180

I think last year the calls were spread over a couple of weeks so I'm staying hopeful...

I wish I could just get the 'lol no' email now so I could go ahead and firm up travel plans for other ASWs. A lot of different schools have ASWs the March 31st-April 2nd weekend, when the RTK interviews are happening*

*per a surreptitious PM I sent bc I obsess about these things

THIS. I applied for the public policy scholarship which is interviewing the same weekend. While I think my chances are slim to none, it would create a domino effect disaster on my ASWs if I went ahead and booked things and then got an invite.

Yep. Combined with the fact that NYU makes you apply for reimbursement(?) there are other ASWs that might make more sense for me.

Has anyone received emails about rtk or has it only been calls?

[lawsk3wl]

Has anyone heard back on any of the named schollies aside from RTK? I'm assuming it's similar notification protocol as RTK but no one seems to have reported anything.

same here... deferred back in december and haven't heard anything. does anyone know when people have typically heard back in the past?

[Necho2]

Would hate to get anyone's hope up for RTK or other stuff (and I have no idea whether the different programs are at all correlated on this front), but just got a Jacobson Leadership Program interview invite, so something is moving on that front...

[chaipancakes]

Yep, I got a Jacobson interview invite today too...

[strongbadge]

Pleeeeeaaaasse!!!

So NYU sent us that email about decisions between now and the end of April... Does that mean we could hear back after ASW?

yes.

I have a tentative hold on my calendar for the ASW at the end of March. Putting it there probably guaranteed a waitlist. But I promised work that I'd put when I'm out of the office on the calendar.

ughhhh

So NYU sent us that email about decisions between now and the end of April... Does that mean we could hear back after ASW?

Looking at the timeline chart on MyLSN...They are still sending out a fair number of acceptances in March, but there is a very slim chance that a decision in April will be an acceptance. It is when they send out waitlist notifications and their largest wave of rejects.

[anonymous117]

Forget a decision, I would just welcome a date change at this point. Just some reassurance that my application is alive and not forgotten after UR1

Good to know - that's a useful chart. I suppose I'm not expecting more than a WL but (selfishly) a trip to NYC would be a lot of fun...

Just got a Jacobson ding email. Good luck all!

Any news on non-named merit awards? Tried searching the thread but it seems to mainly just be named awards

Looks like nothing so far. Letters went out last year on Feb 22, so hoping for any day.
