Got waitlisted at NYU. Any insight on the likelihood of getting in, or how much sending in additional materials (updated test score, additional essay/rec letter) will increase my chances? I only have one offer in hand for a T20 program that I was ready to accept, but the potential of going to a T10 is enticing...

From attending a previous “how to get off waitlist” webinar. Analyze your application against Stern’s student profile from 2020. If your issue is test score, getting an above average test score will help to get you off of waitlist.

If it’s something else like years of experience, GPA, etc. you’ll want to take different actions accordingly but for most people it’s the test scores this year.

Were you confident and specific about your goal? Try to improve your test score if that’s your weak area and maybe supplement with why NYU.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
