but seriously, I think it's almost time for me to write a Why NYU. I was planning on waiting until the waitlist, but I wonder if it would do more good now

I wish I could tell you that I think it matters. And I mean, it might marginally help now. But odds are you're going to be someone they use for an LSAT boost. I would write a why NYU now, and do a LOCI later. Hell, you can do a LOCI and a Why NYU now, and a different LOCI later. If you look back at NeonX's cycle last year, he way outperformed and he wrote the shit out of LOCIs.

Also, when you get in, let me know and I can help you out with additional info. Because you will get in.

I'm wondering if I could get some advice here. So I've been under review since October. I have a 179/3.86. Still no decision. What should I do? I don't feel particularly keen on writing a LOCI and I'm really confused as to what I should have expected at all for my cycle. Just sort of paralyzed right now with disappointment. I'm international if that helps.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but international applicants don't have GPAs... right? Maybe Canada? I don't know...

I would just call them and see what's up.

I mean, if you want. I can tell you what they'll say. They're gonna say that they are reviewing your application and you'll get a decision by the end of April or some shit like that. It never hurts to call, because you won't be talking to someone that makes decisions, and just in case it was something clerical (very unlikely). Doesn't hurt though.

yeah, that's what I assumed.

[madvillain]

Apologies for the confusion. I attended a Canadian university so the GPA does convert. The 3.86 was what LSAC gave me. But yeah, probably no point really asking for help since my case seems to be so different from the norm.

I would agree. Also, sorry that my post sounded sort accusatory, not how I meant it. I was just confused. But yeah, your case definitely seems unusual to me. A LOCI wouldn't hurt, calling wouldn't hurt. Really just do something so they grab your file again.

If you'd been dinged somewhere, I'd agree--you could ask what's wrong with your application, or whatever. But because you've been WL'd everywhere, you can't really ask.

Yeah, but their answer would be that you're not Harvard material. If, like, Cornell or even NYU had dinged you, you'd know something weird was going on. I'm absolutely positive you'll end up in the same place we figured you'd end up, but the process is significantly more agitating. But in the end, you'll be fine.

thanks dude!!! Hopefully I get in to NYU in time for ASW

[Kring345]

I dont have regular/unfettered access to internet (Afghanistan). Can someone sum up what's going on with NYU? Bunch of acceptances with handful of rejects? What are we looking at here? I dont have time to read a lot of interwebbingz.

Thanks!

[caminante]

I haven't been following along too closely, so hopefully someone else will add to this. What you really need to know is that your status checker will change to "decision letter sent" after they finalize their decision for you. Then, you can check on the NYU admissions page whether or not you can login to the admitted students page to see if you're in ( although access sometimes lags by a few days after the status update).

Hope that helps

anyone know when they usually start giving responses to deferred ED applicants? or when they start to re-review? have any deffered EDers heard anything? thanks!

Haven't heard anything, and based on last year's threads, don't believe we will until around April

[MikeTheWilliams]

Not to go too off topic but I'm currently eating delicious Vietnamese food from Saigon Shack which is about a block away from Vanderbilt Hall. Reason enough for wanting to go to NYU!

FYI in case you missed it, somebody with a November UR got in yesterday. There's still hope

[horrorbusiness]

i've been UR since 11/22, and no DLS or anything yet.

this school is a mega reach for me, 3.4/167/mexican.

i'm thinking now would be a good time to send an LOCI, right? or is a why NYU preferable?
