Gotcha beat by 1

[sfn91]

So is it "waitlist" or "wait list"? Lol.

[haley12]

Obligatory cry to those who are not serious about NYU without any merit aid - withdraw from the waitlist please.

wait list, according to the FAQ

[sittykitty]

I suspect a lot of WL folks are going to withdraw at this point since all of us here are late waiters who pretty much already picked a school and just want the cycle to be over. I feel like NYU is really shooting themselves in the foot; good WL candidates are tired of waiting and won't any longer.

I'm still UR btw

Sybill Ann Dorsett remains at the UR stage.
L M A O guys, NYU rejecting me... let's just all try to picture it. I'm totally not dramatic so it will go over smoothly, I'm sure!!!!

[chalala]

Just got the WL e-mail. I'm pretty significantly below BOTH medians, non-URM, and generally not very special. Sooooooooooo...

+1

[thatblondegirl]

Still UR. Still waiting. My epitaph will be "nevertheless, she waited"

[chargers21]

Waitlisted. Only 1 decision left to go

[Thomas Hagan, ESQ.]

Surprised to be waitlisted. Was expecting an auto-ding

Dont even put that out there. You just said there are more WLs to come tomorrow.

I looked this up after my email tried to correct me.
Idk, but I went with the single word.

[enoca]

Just got the WL email.

First person with my numbers to not be accepted in in at least 6 years. Momma always told me I was special!

If you're looking on mylsn.info i think it count WL--> acceptance as an acceptance

This is true, but none of the people from the before time have that listed. Could certainly have changed it after getting in though.

Mostly just bemused over here; I thought NYU would be a really safe/strong option for me, and a good chance of being where I ended up. Seems like I lost out on the game of musical chairs though.

I 100% want you to get in... but that ding bar post would be goooooolden. When you get in, can you still make one for this cycle?

Were any of them WL->Admit? NYU admits a lot of WLers, yo.

Nope. Well, at least not that anyone on LSN is admitting. No, truly the glory is all mine.

Sorry

Just got the WL e-mail. I'm pretty significantly below BOTH medians, non-URM, and generally not very special. Sooooooooooo...

"• During the past three cycles, 50 applicants on LSN below that cycle’s LSAT median and below that cycle’s GPA median were straight admits while 79 were waitlisted. Of those waitlisted applicants, 22 withdrew from the waitlist and 14 were eventually admitted (24.6% staying on waitlist were admitted)."

What's the latest in the day someone's gone DLS? As it's now almost 5 can I just assume there will be no change until tomorrow? (So I can stop checking every 5 minutes)

So their FAQ page says no interviews...but does anyone know if they will chat with waitlisted (wait listed) applicants if someone visits?
