I think timing is important. If you wait too long it may appear as if a prospective student is uninterested. Waiting a few weeks should be okay though. You definitely want to communicate something of substance when you do communicate. E-mailing the admissions committee with no additional information that may strengthen your candidacy is probably only marginally beneficial.

I just sent them my letter today. I'm worried that I took too long, but when I first got on the waitlist I was too busy and exhausted to put something meaningful together, so maybe it was better to wait.

From the main Stern thread, it looks like they're mostly still giving out R1 acceptances, so I doubt we'll hear anything until people in R2 start to be interviewed, and R1 admits start either enrolling or withdrawing.

You're not alone, I'm sending in my letter today or tomorrow. I don't think the timing is an issue, I don't expect any wait list movement for a little while. And as you point out, they're still sending out r1 acceptances, so it's going to take some time before people with offers make decisions.

Hello All,

It seems a few more WL came out today. For the most part, like myself, sans interview.

Definitely a little frustrating. Sorry to make the already big list even bigger.

I got added to the WL as well without an interview on Friday. Will probably send a letter tomorrow with a new recommendation.

Ya I didn't word that well. I agree that timing is important, what I meant to say that I don't think that her timing was problematic. My strategy was to send a brief email immediately emphasizing my continued interest in the program and stating that I would send a more detailed letter in three weeks, and then take the time to put something more substantial together.

I think most of us have been waitlisted without an interview and I haven't seen a NYU poster get waitlisted with an interview until now.

Congrats on getting one at least. How did your interview go? Care to conjecture why the waitlist occurred?

I think there was one other person WL'd after interview this year. There were a couple last year. Definitely the vast majority are w/o int.

I agree it's positive that you got an interview invite in the first place.

Really not sure. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting a WL after the interview. The interview itself had gone very well, or at least that's what I had thought. In hind sight, one thing that could have hurt me was my answer to the questions about what kind of jobs I will look for post-MBA. I told them that I wanted to stay in consulting but would like to explore my options during my first summer and that brand name is not as big a concern for me as the kind of opportunities I get. Not sure if those were the "correct" answers.

Looks like they give quite an emphasis on retaking the GMAT as a WLer. Guess it's time to hit the books again!

I just read my waitlist letter again today, and noticed that it says they'll be reviewing our status starting in the Spring. If the definition is the one on the calendar, that means the earliest we could hear anything is more than a month away... for some reason I expected we'd be continuously evaluated together with the R2 applicants. Time to go find last year's thread and check when movement starts to happen.

cmv, that would be a great help! I believe few people had gotten off the waitlist last year, but I'm not sure about their timelines.

Here's a ray of hope:

Apply: 11/14/09 (round 1)
Wait-list w/o interview: 1/6/10
Interview Invitation: 2/25/10
Interview (summer start): 3/25/10
Admitted: 4/2/10

it seems they picked off a few (very few) people to interview for Summer Start in late Feb/early March. Not sure how they pick people for Summer Start.

Nice find! Interesting that that person was interviewed for summer start before being admitted.

My WL letter says the same as yours, but I'm almost positive I've read an interview with the admissions director which said they review the WL on a weekly basis. I'll try to find it when I'm home.

Interesting considering that Columbia reviews applications on a weekly basis also for deferred/waitlisted candidates. Looking forward to reading that interview. Perhaps the process is a weekly basis from spring onwards?

My mistake, I was thinking of an interview I read with Cornell: https://www.accepted.com/chat/Transcript ... rnell.aspx

Spring? Ugh.

Got waitlisted today. Had applied R1 on 11/15. I was waiting for my rejection letter to come in considering it had been so long.

just wanted to let you all know that I was W/L for Stern but declined my place on the waitlist (just paid my enrollment deposit for Ross). Hopefully that opens up a spot, good luck!

Thanks, and good luck at Ross!

To feed the speculation, I submitted an update letter 2 weeks ago and it hasn't been reflected in my status page, so it doesn't appear that WLers are getting a lot of attention right now.

Thanks and good luck at Ross as well! I just interviewed on campus at Ross and the people there were great. Ross has the best business school building that I have ever seen.

And I wonder when spring begins for nyu. Do they rely on groundhogs?

I don't know if they are really busy but I submitted an update letter a month ago and it showed up on my status page after 3 business days. I would wait a few more days and if it still doesn't show up, I would send them an email following up.
