Hey guys, haven't posted in the NYU thread till now - just to confirm what I basically already know, most acceptances come within 1.5 months right? I've been sitting at UR 1/31 after an early January submission date, and at this point I am already expecting a WL/rejection.

Thanks.

wait, did you get a DLS on your status checker first? or just UR followed by mail?

DLS 3/10

UR since 1/10. Seeing as it's mid March, I'm expecting a waitlist/rejection. Why couldn't this DLS be a week ago...

Since your DLS date is a few days ago, try logging into the Admitted Students Website. I had DLS sometime in Feb (around the 17th perhaps), and was able to get into the ASW a few days before my letter arrived.

No luck so far on that front. A few Friday DLS (from previous weeks) didn't gain access until the Tuesday after, so I'll wait until then before losing hope.
