Guys forget about what they say on the NYU website -- it's 99.9% marketing materials (propaganda) anyway. If you look at the way the people posted on this board, the earliest ones who received an acceptance letter are the guys with the 700+ gmat scores, then it's the 690's guys, last week we had an 680 guy who got accepted. Meanwhile, the 600 with 3.4 guy got waitlisted, and so did a 650 with a 3.0 guy. Then there's the rest of us -- the 620-670's with 3.0-3.5 group. I think it's pretty obvious how adcom is approaching this -- figure out the distribution curve for all applicants according to GMAT and gpa, accept the guys on top, reject those who don't qualify, waitlist the border line guys, and then work your way down from the top. And honestly, I don't see why they would do it any other way. My guess is that the 670 guys will get accepted this week, or the 690 guys who is missing some of their application forms / materials when they handed in their applications.
