desireyen Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Couldnt find a forum for Fall 2009. Wanted to ask everyone applying for this term how their apps are going. I turned mine in on the 12th. They are still missing my transcripts because they havent gone through all the mail yet. :-/ Where else is everyone applying---NYU top choice?

plisar Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 NYU took a notoriously long time posting my transcript on their grad school status page. I would not worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orozconpollo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i applied here too. do you think if the application didn't go "complete" until a couple wks after the deadline will the app still be considered for scholarships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbbgurl Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I think you should be fine. They sometimes take a while to update the online status. If youre still worried though Im sure you can call and ask. Im getting impatient waiting to hear from them! I'd love to end up in NYC...but Im not too confident I'll get in. We shall see though. Any ideas when we start getting notified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepper84 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Given last year's results page, I thought we might hear something from NYU starting late last week...clearly I am in the wrong! I wonder how closely schools adhere to previous decision-making schedules, or if these change from year to year. While I am guessing the latter makes more sense (no incoming class/mitigating factors--cough the economy cough-- can be the same), I'm still hoping to hear soon! I'm starting to get a little obsessive about checking my email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My application has been complete since the end of November and I have yet to hear anything. Their website indicates that they review applications on a rolling basis beginning in October, so I called. The woman whom I spoke with said that all decision letters will be mailed at the same time--at the end of March. This seems like a very long time to me (over 4 months after my application has been complete and much later than last year). But, I think this may be because they have experienced an overwhelming increase in applications, as noted by the program director at one of the online chat sessions.

maximMPA09 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hey folks, I'm there there with you. Applied before the funding deadline and it's just a waiting game from here on out. Question: Has anyone's application been changed recently? More specifically, I found that my financial aid info, namely the yes or no part of "do you wish to be considered for merit scholarships" changed from yes to no, and I had to call the office to fix it. Has anyone had a similar problem? And what's the news about an overwhelming amount of applicants? Bad news.... Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for the program and what the average GPA is? Many thanks, buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thing happen to me. Looks like they are really trying to avoid having to give out any scholarships or money. Hmph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepper84 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 wow, me too. Thanks to whoever caught this. when I called, I just asked whether this was a system-wide problem and they responded that they're looking into it and not sure what caused it. in any case, if you applied there, you might want to check your application again...

maximMPA09 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 An update: After speaking with their office, I believe that they're aware of the problem and will still consider people for scholarship money. Nerve wrecking, no? I hope that we hear something soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbbgurl Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Good job in setting them straight! The longer I wait the more I feel like I will be rejected. I'd love to end up in NYC, though my ex is there and that's no fun, but its a big city and I probably wont see him much. Where else are you applying?

maximMPA09 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ha, actually the chances that you'll run into your ex are quite high, at least in my experience. I've actually only applied to Wagner because an MPA program was a late minute decision and I didn't take the GREs Yep, there's quite a bit riding on this.

sfbbgurl Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 haha...nooo. i dont want to randomly run into him! Though he does work near NYU, so it would probably happen. At this point Im not too confident Ill even get into NYU...but you never know. Im holding out for cornell. the program is a perfect match with my interests...so im hoping that will pull me over to the accept side. its super small...last year the program only had about 40 applicants. crossing my fingers.

RoscoPColtrane Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 A co-worker (and current Wagner student) recently met with the Director of Admissions. The number of applications by the January 15 deadline was 20% higher than ever before. Results will be mailed to everyone at the same time at the end of March.

I wasn't feeling confident I would get in, and now with 20% more competition than normal, I am definitely not feeling confident. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

desireyen Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Haha, agreed. Its comforting to know that everyone is getting mailed at the same time. Yet, I wasnt sure before, and with the 20% increase Im even more worried. Gotta keep the head up though! March is around the corner. Did anyone NOT give GRE/GMAT score for the application?

sfbbgurl Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Does anyone know if there is an admitted students day, or some sort of open house/orientation before we would make a decision? It seems that if we need to decide by April 15th, and they are only going to notify us at the end of March, that is not enough time for me to get time off from work and set up travel plans. Is it the end of March yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbbgurl Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'll answer my own questions. I found on the website information about the admitted students day. Its on April 3rd 9-5pm. http://wagner.nyu.edu/admissions/accepted/visiting.php Seems like all of the schools I applied to have open houses the same week. Sigh.

sfbbgurl Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I just saw that someone listed on the results page that NYU Wagner will be contacting people on Monday. I eagerly await my rejection letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteZahut Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Wow, after getting all my app materials (LoRs, GREs, transcripts) submitted in December 2008 (and listed as "received" on the ApplyYourself system) and sending in the application on January 12, 2009, the online status has been changed to "Incomplete" and the scholarship consideration box has been changed to "No." So I called Wagner and they told me that one of the two LoRs is not in my file...which is bogus because I know it was sent in and listed as received by Wagner as of early December 2008! Either I can now send in another LoR by the regular June 1 deadline (without scholarship consideration) or just re-apply later for a Fall 2010 admission cycle... Well, at least now I know not to wait for NYU in the mail...!@*#!()@$*)!$*! PS: Next time, I'll make sure to take a digital photo of my computer screen saying the application is submitted and complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
