I called again today. The WL is not closed but they could not tell me anything. I talked to a counselor not a student. She said that although there had been some movement for a few schools over the past few weeks, she could not give any indication if there would be more. I also asked specifically about Tisch Drama and she could not give any info.

A message from the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions regarding the status of the waitlist
May 21, 2019
Thank you, as always, for your patience with our waitlist process. You will receive a direct notification from our office if your waitlist status changes however, we wanted to provide this update about our waitlist activity so far.
To date, we have admitted just over 350 students off of the waitlist to begin at NYU in the fall. In addition to fall admission, we have admitted an additional cohort of students to begin in the spring semester in Liberal Studies, and at NYU’s Steinhardt and Tandon schools. We anticipate that these groups represent the majority of the waitlist offers that we will make this year, but we will continue to monitor available space over the coming weeks.
Regardless of your waitlist status or school/program of interest, we ask that you do not send any additional credentials, letters of recommendation, to our office. In our waitlist review process, we primarily consider the original application you presented, and additional materials will not increase your likelihood of admission.
We know that the uncertainty that comes with waitlist status can be stressful, so we will do our best to keep you updated on your status whenever possible. You can expect another update on the status of our waitlist in June.
I didn’t get your message @kmacrna Did they send you an email or was that posted on your portal
Last years applicants were pretty much all accepted by the 25th of May, after that there was no space. If we dont make it in the coming days, it should be over for us ?
It was posted on the undergraduate admissions site above where you log into your admissions portal. Wasn’t sent to me specifically.
350 admissions off of waitlist and only few at Tisch the largest school?
What is going on?
Someone said that most fall admissions will come in June and now 350 admissions have already been given, I am confused and worried ??
Tisch is one of the smaller schools at NYU @almamommy.
Whatever but very very few students have been accepted off of the waitlist at Tisch to date or the ones who got in are not telling others???
Last year Tisch didn’t issue many WL offers either. 350 spots is a pretty small number for a school that made 12,000 offers and has a freshman class of 6500. Last year NYU took 150 off the WL in May but they initally accepted many more in April. It’s possible there were no Tisch WL spots open this year… but I would wait until that news is released before giving up.
We will wait too
But I was hoping around 45-65 acceptances at Tisch at least ( reading blogs of previous years)
kmacrna. I still don’t see that email from NYU. Can you be more specific of where it is.
Thanks
Not an email on NYU admissions page
@wondering2233 removal of checklist from your portal usually means a decision has been made.
@SJ2727 like good or bad decision…?
@kmacrna no way of knowing, just a decision. The checklists all disappeared a day or two before the ED and RD decision dates.
When I called this afternoon the student ambassador said they are still working hard and more acceptances will come but she didn’t know how many
She didn’t say anything about Tisch
I guess the next two weeks are crucial
For people waiting for Tisch Drama WL - my daughter and her friend are also waiting to hear from NYU, but are nonetheless moving on with their committed Acting programs until they get a more definitive answer from NYU.
Worth mentioning - another friend found out last week that she was accepted into Drama as a transfer applicant. She has just finished or is finishing her freshman year of college. So, keep in mind that Tisch is also looking at transfer student applications.
Best of luck to everyone!
Good luck to them
Does anyone has an idea about the other departments in Tisch?
Any news
