NYU Langone Fall 2008

I have not heard from NYU since I submitted my registration forms. Any suggestions?

I've considered this as well... let us know what happens if you do!

If you try to click on the "Registration and Bursar Forms" link on the New Student Tour, it would tell that you are already registered. I received a receipt from Bursar about 10 days after I registered/paid online. That's the only confirmation they send out to you, I guess.

Since I am in the Weekends, I don't have to worry about my Core Group. I am not sure about Core Group assignment for Weeknights.

Folks, did any of you receive an email about "Pre Pre Term"? Has anyone accepted already? We could plan to meet during that event. Anyone interested?

Can anyone provide a database count update? Thanks.

I accepted and am looking forward to meeting people.

In other news, the database is at 428 now.

Ugh, 428? Am I as good as being dinged?

I have started working on spring 09 application. The DB count at 428 is too close to the finish line. Who are these new people admitted?

NYU must be working long hours because the database was 428 around 7 last night and now it's at 423. That's good news for the people waiting!

NYUorbust...I love the spirit. I am absolutely hoping you are right on the mark. The problem is I haven't even been waitlisted as my application with the undergraduate degree reached them so late!!

Anyways here is hoping for the best that all of us get in!!!!

I don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, and I am certain a few will indeed get off the waitlist, BUT… at this point, don't rest your plans on it.

Those thinking about re-applying for spring have just about a month to get their application together. So, if you’re on the waitlist, and you’re serious about spring, you should not be waiting around.

Here is the good news: NYU tends to reward re-apps that substantially improve their application by giving early notification of admission. SO, retake those gmats, do something leadershipy, and polish up those essays!

If you happen to get taken off the waitlist before then, then count yourself lucky! If not, then have a solid plan B to console you.

Hey listen Tenore - we're waitlisted for a reason - not rejected. We're not stupid! I definitely have my plan B and I'm sure everyone else does too. But a little moral support goes a long way right now. If I get rejected off the waitlist, I know exactly what I need to improve and will reapply in the Fall. I'm just going to hold onto - it's not over until it's over! No one thought the American Gymnasts were going to even place and they got Bronze! No one though Dara Torres was worth anything at 41 and she brought the relay team back to the Silver spot! Regardless of what happens, the spirit and hope stays until the rejection email comes. And if it does, I know I gave my all with no regrets. If I get off the waitlist, just give me a smile when I sit right next to you!

What is this "pre pre term" you speak of? I was accepted into the program back in June and have heard nothing of this "pre pre term"......

I just would hate for someone to read your post and get their waitlist hopes unrealistically high. I’m more likely to encourage someone towards a positive action than cheerlead them through a process that's not extremely likely to be positive. That’s the realist in me…

Of course, I don’t think that anyone should give up hope. In past years, 2 or 3 gmat clubbers per cycle seem to get off the waitlist (I hope this year -everyone- gets in).

But, my point is that Sept 15 deadline is right around the corner and being prepared for it is –by far- the best shot anyone currently on the waitlist has of getting into NYU. In fact, re-apps that improve themselves seem to have a far better than normal shot.


Also, you seem to be personalizing my statements a little. I believe anyone smart enough to get waitlisted is smart enough to get into NYU. The adcom doesn’t decide on a person’s worth, they are just a gate to get past before you can attend a good b-school.

When you do get into Stern, you’re more than welcome to sit right next to me…

I actually got this e-mail from an NYU Yahoo group I joined. I plan to attend and hope to see some of you there. If you are not an invitee on the list, e-mail Lisa Stringer and she'll confirm you were admitted and she can add you. For her e-mail address, send me a message and I'll send it over to you. As I write this, there are already 86 people confirmed. Also, ArcadeKrazy, feel free to post your stats and your admission date and I'll add them to the tracker. Here is the e-mail:

Let me take the pleasure of posting the 1000th message. The most important post for the forum .

Can someone please post the db count as of today morning ? Thanks
