Waitlisted
+1, email said that they have a smaller list this year, but not sure how much movement there actually is
Waitlisted
all good bro! good luck!!Where's the lie?
Sorry bud....I'm sure I'm joining you....
Eh they beat my wolves after the OG trade so I am a bit weary of 'emNot even a joke they suck gross
Yes, people can get WL-> A before then. It all matters on what spot you were given in the WL (e.g.,1st or 20th) and when people who have an A drop their seat. Hypothetically, if someone with an A dropped it today and you were 1st on the WL, you may hear back within the month. Dean Rivera did say in the email that he will send out additional acceptance offers much earlier than May 3rd if spots open up sooner.Does a WL mean we won't hear back about movement until May? Can people get WL -> A before that time?
Is it a ranked waitlist? I thought NYU tended to match candidates.Yes, people can get WL-> A before then.

From reading prev. threads, it said it was unranked and they match candidates... I wonder whose stunt double I am..Is it a ranked waitlist? I thought NYU tended to match candidates.

Okay, actually, I thought all waitlists were ranked. Please disregard what I said then. I didn't know about ranked vs unranked waitlists. I don't know how their waitlist is structured. Sorry if I confused anyone, but it is still 100% possible to get an A before May.Is it a ranked waitlist? I thought NYU tended to match candidates.
wondering this too?What does matching candidates mean?
I think it means that if someone with an A declines their offer, then the school will try to give that offer to someone who is on the WL with a similar profile (for ex. a very research heavy background, etc.)wondering this too?
Do they consider demographic information?I think it means that if someone with an A declines their offer, then the school will try to give that offer to someone who is on the WL with a similar profile (for ex. a very research heavy background, etc.)
Don't know the specifics of their process, of course. But in light of the recent SCOTUS decision, I don't think they would. They might be able to consider something like socioeconomic status, but as far as race/ethnicity, that would conflict with the current law.Do they consider demographic information?
It's probably worth mentioning, if they consider economic status for their matching, I'd imagine that low-income applicants on the waitlist are much more likely to be accepted than middle or high income applicants on the waitlist. Because their low-income "matches"/counterparts who have been accepted at NYU are also going to be getting full-tuition aid at other T10 schools, and NYU being free isn't relevant anymore.Do they consider demographic information?
Merging with the existing school specific threadNYU now offers all its students the opportunity to graduate medical school in 3 years instead of the traditional 4. I was just wondering what are people's opinions on the advantages this offers as opposed to going to a higher ranked school with the usual 4 year curriculum. As in, in the long run is that one extra year worth foregoing an offer from a T5 (for example)?
If I remember correctly, Rivera said letter of intent/update/etc. do nothing for you on the waitlist.Got waitlisted on January 5th. Based on what Dean Rivera said on Interview Day regarding Letter of Interest/Intent timing, I am unsure if I should send an update letter hinting at interest or wait until April to send a strong Letter of Intent or do both. Any suggestions?
I feel like I remember Dean Rivera saying it's usually around 200 - 250, but I might not be remembering that correctly. Maybe someone else can recall better than I can.Does anyone know how many people NYU waitlisted this cycle?
ah gotcha. just wondering cuz the waitlist email did say that this year's was smaller than past yearsI feel like I remember Dean Rivera saying it's usually around 200 - 250, but I might not be remembering that correctly. Maybe someone else can recall better than I can.
