does anyone know the likelihood of getting off an nyu waitlist? ik i likely wont hear back with an update until april 15th or after, but im just wondering if it's possible to get off the waitlist or if its unheard of bc how competitive the program is
i'm pretty certain you can withdraw, you just won't get your deposit back!! for reference, my friend withdrew from nyu when she got into iowa. obviously every program is different, but i don't imagine it's set in stone. i think it makes sense for ppl to be notified of getting off waitlists after the april 15th deadline since thats when everyone is committing and declining other offers
last year my friend got waitlisted at iowa mid-march and committed somewhere else bc she thought she wouldnt get in, and then she found out she got into iowa on april 17th and withdrew from the other program she committed to, so theres always hope!!! there's so much time from now until april for things to change! wishing you the best 🫶
