[jenjen9ny]

Anyone else going to be there?

i am very curious about this... i haven't heard a peep

I'm planning on also attending but haven't bought my ticket yet.

Anyone else get a waitlist email from NYU? And anyone that got in have any numbers of apps/admits? Thanks!

[jenjen9ny]

I have a friend who received a wait list email last year. He was later offered an interview, but turned it down because he had already committed to an amazing school. I don't know any specific numbers though- just his experience.

[jma310]

it seems pretty likely to get an interview with a waitlist. i'm in at penn & bc, so i likely won't head to nyu, but i am a NYC native so the option may be nice.

I'm trying to find more information regarding NYUs program, since I'm visiting next week and the website only has so much. What do you guys think are the strengths and weaknesses of the program?

Does anyone know what percent of applicants attending the recruitment days are eventually offered admission?

[emg28]

I spoke with my assigned Recruitment Day buddy and she told me about 60 people are attending for about 25-30 spots. Or atleast, that's how many are in her cohort from last year.

[cardinal2013]

Thanks for the info. I've reached out to my buddy but have not heard back yet. Has yours given any info/advice for the interview days? Also, since we don't receive our schedule until Thursday afternoon, have you done anything now to prepare? Looking forward to seeing everyone shortly!

[emg28]

I was told that we will be given a list of possible assistantship sites that want to interview us. If you don't want to interview for them you can let them know in the morning. You can also pick up interviews if there's openings. At the end of the day you rank your preferences and they will match them with the sites' preferences. As of right now, I haven't done much prep except look at websites. I feel a little limited not knowing what specific spots are open. I'm annoyed that they're withholding the packet till the end of the day. I don't see what the point is.

[cardinal2013]

oh that's really good to know, thank you! Yeah I don't really know how to prepare until we have our lists. And is it your impression that we will know our admission decision and (potential) internship site late March?

[J.simpson1920]

I was also waitlisted. When are the recruitment days? Has anyone been offered an internship as of yet?

[emg28]

The recruitment days were March 7-8th. As of right now I'm waiting to hear back from the internship sites but I do have a second interview tomorrow morning via Skype. If anyone else hears back from an internship site please let me know. Thanks!
