Hey Jam, just to clear this up, the Dean's Scholarship is all merit. I got one without submitting any financials.JamMasterJ wrote:I may have.

Re: NYU Waitlist Class of 2015
The thing is, we have so many students that the odds that one person is going to affect them are really low. I feel like your commitment should be worth something. Maybe I'm being sentimental, but I feel like you're going to put in the work and create a better, more interesting class than some 172/3.2 who goes b/c his other offer is a small scholly at GULCKillingly wrote:Thanks, Jam, but my stats really do make me a long shot.

Longtime lurker first time poster, figured I owed a post after checking this forum so much in the past couple weeks.
Got a phone call today and they offered me admission after getting a call gauging interest on Friday. Stats are 175/3.1ish so there's hope for anyone with low GPAs out there still waiting. Good luck to everyone!

Wow, stats twin, congrats on the acceptance! I didn't think they'd go for the lower GPA, but I guess there's always hope. DId you submit a few LOCIs?dsc1943 wrote:Longtime lurker first time poster, figured I owed a post after checking this forum so much in the past couple weeks.

Have you been accepted anywhere in the CCN? I'm SHOCKED that NYU hasn't pounced on that 180, especially consider the GPAs that they're reaching for.Mr. Somebody wrote:Why does NYU hate me?

Re: NYU Waitlist Class of 2015
No just told them I wanted to stay on the waitlist (didn't expect to get in either was happy with NU before this). Before last Friday I had heard nothing for months so I thought this was a dead end.kerflux wrote:Wow, stats twin, congrats on the acceptance!

Lol, that's pretty much exactly the position I'm in, minus the acceptance. I've sent in 2 LOCIs at this point, though. I'm juiced for NU, wasn't really holding out much hope for NYU. I think that your post may have rekindled some of that lost hope, though. Did you have any particularly unusual/beneficial softs?

Just got the interest calllllllll (I think?)... There was something said about being in the pool of candidates that will be drawn from should the need arise. Is that what previous rounds of people were told as well?
Oh man, I really hope this isn't just a tease!

I keep telling myself that I'll give up if I'm not in the next round of calls. But it's not working.
