Well, it's been quite a crazy ride. I was just accepted off of the waitlist at NYU and have accepted their offer so this crazy process is finally over for me. Good luck to those who are still waiting for offers, and for those who don't receive one this year: Never. Give. Up. Life's a bitch and victory is only attained by prevailing over numerous defeats. Good luck and goodbye.

For some reason I was under the impression that it is 16:00 eastern time on the 15th. Can anyone confirm or correct me on that?
-
I'm almost definitely going to decline my offer there today or tomorrow. Good luck!

NYU WL?

I asked earlier and though I didn't get a finite answer, it didn't seem to me like there was any heterogeneity in the invites they sent out to the WLed. As far as I know, everyone was invited to attend virtually.
-
From GC, as well as here and talking to friends it looks like everyone got it.

Not my field of interest so I wouldn't know. It was just awkward to be there. Oh, but for context, by "applied micro" this includes econometrics, development, IO, I think health was there... maybe more... they lumped a bunch of stuff together.
-
The applied micro group. It was awkward as hell.
-
I was there. The applied micro group seemed pretty bad, not enough professors and visible tensions between the different professors during their presentation. One of my friends who was also there already told me he is going to decline their offer.

Yes, I was unaware of this, but apparently you can reverse your offer after 15/4 if you get a better offer afterwards. Happens all the time because of these crazy waitlists!
-
Visiting day is on 31/3, but I've heard from a lot of people that offers off of the waitlist usually come on or around 15/4, so my posterior is pretty tight around that date.
-
Me personally, I would answer "yes" if I estimated 80% confidence or above. Edit: I think it probably would not hurt your chances to answer maybe. Another university reached out to me asking what is the likelihood that I would accept. I made it clear that I have similar offers and am waitlisted at dominating universities, thus my acceptance of their offer is not guaranteed. I received an offer from them a couple of days later.
-
Well currently my only offer is from Brown. Idk how to compare. I'm also on the waitlist for NYU, but personally, I'd rather live in Philly than in NYC.
-
Strong opinions, lol. Can I ask why?
-
Thanks. Is a waitlist also out of the question for you?
