<p>My daughter has been accepted to another MT program that needs to be notified before April 1st. Does anyone know who I can contact at NYU to find out if she has been or is still in contention to be accepted?</p>
<p>Mom…take a look down this page re: NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice. It might help answer your question. </p>

<p>I know Hoosiermom was trying to help and had the right idea but the link she provided is in error. </p>
<p>You should not be contacting NYU who will not give you any indication over the phone if your D is being considered. Rather, you should be dealing with the school that has accepted her and is saying they need her to commit by April 1. </p>
<p>You do NOT need to commit to the college your D is accepted to yet!! Please know this. They may be strongly encouraging your D to enroll so that they can get a handle of who is coming and if they didn’t yield enough, then to make offers to their wait list kids. However, the National Reply Date for ALL COLLEGES is May 1. In fact, it is annoying to me that any college makes it seem to the student that they need to reply any sooner than that. It is against the “rules” to imply or state that the student needs to respond before May 1 to an offer of admission.</p>
<p>The National Association for College Admissions Counseling states m the Students’ Rights and Responsibilities, the following:</p>

<p>If it were me and if X College was pressuring my D to respond now to their offer by April 1 (did they simply encourage or insist?), I would ask them (in writing) to have until May 1 to put down the deposit and I would reference the policy according to the NACAC. I will assume that X College is not truly demanding that your D responds and puts down a deposit now, and is in fact, simply strongly recommending or pressuring her to do so. If they are not stating that she MUST commit now, then that is how they must be getting out of compliance by not saying it is “required.” If they are stating that she MUST commit by April 1, they are not in compliance. (I am guessing this could be either Point Park or Marymount Manhattan as I have had this issue come up with others before at those particular schools). Ask them what effect it has to wait to put down a deposit by May 1 which is the National Reply Date according to the NACAC. I suppose you could give the deposit if it is refundable before May 1 (check on that) but it is wrong and they may not require you to do this. Other schools do NOT make you commit before May 1 or else you would have to put a deposit down at more than one school, laying out a ton of money, let alone that is not ethical for a student to hold a spot at more than one school. But of course, students don’t hear from all of their schools until around April 1 and so who wants to commit to enroll before hearing from all their options? You could follow the NACAC procedures and ask for the extension to commit to enroll, along with the deposit (which IS the commitment, basically, to enroll) until May 1. This is the procedure colleges are to follow and most do. There is no reason to hold your money until May 1. May 1 is the date you must commit to enroll and give deposits. They can’t require you to do so sooner. Ask for this in writing. Point to the NACAC and ask for the extension and ask what the difference is if you send a deposit by the National Reply date which is your right to do, and what the purpose is to send it now and if you can have this extension, would it makes any difference. It should not. Again, you won’t run into this with too many schools. I never have with two daughters and 16 schools between them or with my clients except in rare occasions (ie., Point Park University, Marymount).</p>
<p>The only personal experience I had with my own daughter was upon being admitted to Penn State’s BFA in early March, she was called during March asking for a commitment if she wanted her scholarship (which by the way was the smallest of all of her scholarships) and we had not heard from many of the schools and said so and said we could not reply until we heard from all the schools. </p>
<p>Please know your rights.</p>
<p>I remember this happening last year with kids accepted to Western Michigan University. One parent told me that WMU told her son that he had to let them know if he wanted his spot by April 1.</p>
<p>Our Pace email “requests” notification by March 30, but subsequent correspondence with the school has clarified that this is only a request…one we will attempt but would never commit to comply with. </p>
<p>Not only will we probably not hear from every school by then, we’re hoping to need and have time to simply digest our options.</p>
<p>I, too, was a bit taken aback at the request. Although I must admit it is clearly stated as such, someone who didn’t know what’s up might think they HAD to respond by then. I understand the waitlist scenario, but students who are on it understand it will take time for the whole story to play out.</p>
<p>Perischack…exactly…schools like Pace, Point Park, and Marymount who are putting the pressure on for families to commit prior to May 1, are carefully wording such letters and calls as “request” or “strongly encourage” so as to not violate the rules because no student MUST commit prior to the National Reply Date of May 1. Please know your rights. Many colleges do not send out notification of admission until April 1 (most of my children’s colleges sent out on April 1 in fact) and then students have one full month to make their decision as to where to matriculate.</p>
<p>A friend just got accepted to NYU Tisch regular decision today through a letter. They must be starting to notify us! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I know someone who was accepted today as well! AHHH I’M SO NERVOUS!!!</p>
<p>I got accepted today to Tisch!!! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>My son received a letter today also. He is accepted to NYU-Tisch. The letter is an invitation to an Admitted Students day. The actual acceptance letter and studio placement to follow! It’s amazing how such anxiety and anticipation can transform into such joy! Good luck to everybody!</p>
<p>2 ‘join us’ letters hit west coast Fri and Monday (today). Male said any studio, female said Cap 21, only when they auditioned. Keep checking the mail box - it is not over til it’s over.</p>
<p>well, we didn’t get one in San Diego yet… and I don’t know what to say. My D got into Cal Arts, Emerson, CCM… I was very hopeful about NYU…</p>
<p>has anyone in the south heard yet…?: im in florida and waiting.</p>
<p>When would you say the last day these things will hit mailboxes is?</p>
<p>i talked to admissions today and he said they do them in waves and in the next couple of weeks so i’d say the last possible maybe 2 weeks… hard to say 
anyone in the south yet?</p>
<p>@ krisjan91</p>
<p>Accepted to NYU from South FL!!! :)…(Not a Tisch applicant though)</p>
<p>Are these waves by location or just random?</p>
<p>krisjan - I could kiss you! Thanks for doing that… you have just lifted a weight off my chest!</p>
<p>hhaha! well im hoping tisch sends something my way this week! congrats to LW trojan</p>
<p>chrissyblu, please keep in mind that these are not the official offers of admission. These are the invitations to the admitted student event on April 4. The majority of kids who Tisch will accept into its drama program will NOT receive one of these invitations to the Saturday in the Square event. Official offers of admission to ALL admitted students will go out to be received ~ April 1st. There really isn’t any reason to have a weight on your chest! 
Hang in there!</p>
