The email i got said if I got in ED anywhere to “click here”. Once you click the link it gives you the option to withdraw or to not withdraw. In the last paragraph it said you do not have to reiterate interest
@meggysmom @Rav115 They have never sent out this email before. This is the first year.
@kibbles On the e-mail it states that there’s “no need” to respond if you’re not withdrawing, but after clicking on the link there is a questionnaire with the options to withdraw or not withdraw… I’m assuming not responding and choosing not withdraw is the same.
@kibbles There is only one version (or that I know of). The first email you are talking of did not say to “reiterate interest”. And the “email” for clicking yes or no to be considered was the link from the first email.
@firetofire yea i accidentally clicked it but then saw an option for “I do not wish to withdraw” so I just clicked that. do you think thats fine?
@brookemitchell That’s what I did… a few people did that, I’m going to assume it’s okay; otherwise, NYU will have a huge problem on their hands haha. (Also if the e-mail wasn’t an indication of acceptance) Sending that type of e-mail to people and then denying them is extremely rude. [Decisions are already made I’m assuming].
@firetofire yeah, i’m pretty sure they’ve already made decisions (at least most of them) so I feel like it’s them verifying that they’re not accepting anyone who automatically will decline acceptance due to a previous ED/EA binding.
@rav115. The email we got stated specifically that it was " not necessary to reiterate interest" and instructed to do nothing if the student did not wish to withdraw their application. Only option was to reply if the student did wish to withdraw.
There also wasn’t any link like you mention. Odd.
I’m just hoping that getting the email and getting accepted are mutually exclusive, because if they aren’t sending that email to rejected candidates is nothing less than cruel! 
Best of luck to everyone!
@firetofire. The only problem is that if someone clicked “I have been accepted to a binding early decision” . . . Then they legally have to withdraw their NYU application. Very confusing.
They more than likely sent it to everyone, not to be cruel, but because they probably have a computer program that sends things out to all applicants. It wouldn’t really take them any extra work because pretty much everything nowadays is on the computer which is where this is all being done.
@getaclucy no bc i didnt get one
@jpgautlier well I don’t know why you wouldn’t have gotten one but just because of what I know about NYU I doubt they would have sent out an email just to admitted students as that would give too much away too long before official decisions are released.
@jpgautlier if you’re on Gmail… Check under the “Promotions” tab… That’s where I found it
DD received this email: Our admission committee is finalizing the review of your application for admission. We are checking in to determine if you have been offered admission to another college or university under an Early Decision program and have now made a binding commitment to another institution. If you have done so, please click here to let us know.
You do not need to respond to this email and you do not need to reiterate your interest in NYU. This communication is simply to determine if you have already committed to attend another college or university through a binding Early Decision program.
She did not do anything in reply.
@Loyal0learner just checked… didnt see anything. I’m not going to worry about it bc I didnt apply ED anywhere so ? I guess its not an issue!
A girl in my grades best friend is claiming the girl got into NYU last night but I think she just misinterpreted the email.
Update: It was in my spam folder! As I was the only one who had NOT received the email, my guess is that it was sent to everyone.
i emailed NYU a couple of days ago and they said decisions may come out earlier than April 1st.
