NYU C/O 2016 Applicants Thread!!! (Woooooo!!!!!) Forum

[02889]

This has been posted before (probably at least once by me), but:

2011: Statuses began changing to "Decision Letter Sent" around 2:00pm on Tues, 12/6.
2010: Statuses began changing to "Decision Letter Sent" around 2:00pm on Fri, 12/3.

I'm trying to prepare myself for a lot of nervous and tense afternoons next week.

Where are you getting this from? I ask because I looked through the applicant thread from last year and it looks like the first status change anybody mentioned was more like 3 PM. And yes, I recognize this is not an important distinction. Just wondering.

Last year, the first person to post the Decision Letter Sent status was indigomachine at 1:57 PM EST. If that's showing up at 3pm for you, perhaps you are in a different time zone or your daylight savings time settings are off.

Also, for ED applicants: first deferrals to Regular Decision went out on Thurs, 12/15 by email.

When did RD admits start hearing back in past years? If it helps, I submitted mine around 11/20...

I believe last year, RD decisions started going out a couple of days after ED decisions.

Thanks for the info, man. If I did submit on 11/20, would I have a shot at finding out in that first batch of RD decisions, or should I plan on early Jan. at least?

If you get in, you should hear sometime in late December

Maybe I'm being an idiot but can anyone explain this?

So this is not a part of the total budget they have on the website, or is it? I notice most other schools have personal expenses itemized on the actual budget

I see, so they leave some wiggle room in the R&B budget. If I go here I will probably be aiming for one of the 2BD in D'ag

Also, those budget increases are insanely easy to obtain.

Okay - so, I need to get my App in. At 3.5 / 174, is it worth it to write the essays for the Bryce / Jacobson programs? Not an URM, but have 4ish years of corporate work experience.

You sound like a great fit for the Jacobson. Do you fit the prompt for there anbryce? If so I'd do that too

Yeah - you just need to be first in immediate family to do post college education, right? I fit.

Submitted on 11/16, and stuck at UR since 11/19. I applied RD to the RTK scholarship program... Anyone else in a similar boat? 173/3.35/very strong softs. Not sure what to expect.

Thanks, you too. No I didn't apply ED anywhere. I'm pretty debt averse and I think this cycle is going to be unpredictable and don't want to lock myself in anywhere if a better opportunity arises.

Depending on what urm you are I would withdraw that ED asap

[Swimp]

Fingers crossed that decisions start coming out this week. Good luck everybody.

[NoodleyOne]

So how nervous should I be for phone calls this week? I'm wondering about Michigan, NYU, and UVA... went complete around 11/7 for all of them.

Well, last year only the EDs heard on 12/6: status checker update-->able to access ASW-->admit call. The RD decisions didn't start until 12/12. But apparently that was a departure from previous cycles in which some RDs actually heard first, with a rough correlation to UR dates. But then you have to wonder if the one week lost due to the hurricane will be a factor. So...light anxiety

I'm UR since 11/21, submitted 10/19. I'm ED though. You have slightly better numbers than me and you're a URM (edit: wait someone said that but I don't know where they got it from) so I am hopeful that I'm stuck just like you!

I gotta write my AnBryce essay and send it in still, god damn it.

WHEN SHOULD WE HEAR?

[Rahviveh]

WHEN SHOULD WE HEAR?

ED - This week
RD - Possibly this week, for sure by next week
