<p>New to this as a parent; does anyone know the approximate size of waitlist for NYU and if indicating you are open to any campus or other schools than first expressed on the RSVP form works against a waitlist candidate? Thanks.</p>
<p>I do not have any specific info regarding NYU but there is some general advice here, if it interests you,</p>
<p>You’re on the Waiting List. Now What?
[You’re</a> on the Waiting List. Now What? - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/05/waiting/]You’re”>You're on the Waiting List. Now What? - The New York Times)</p>
<p>"First, respond swiftly to the waiting list. Some places look at response time.</p>
<p>With that response to the waiting list (sometimes by mail and sometimes electronically) also comes an opportunity to write a follow-up letter about why said college is a great fit and why you want to be there.</p>
<p>If a coach was involved, or perhaps a faculty member at that college or a special interest alum — let them know that status, too, and ask for advice.</p>
<p>If the place is your top choice, tell them that. But don’t make false promises. “I’ll go if I get in” is fine — if you mean it! It’s called lying if you don’t."</p>
<p>Also there has been a discussion on CC earlier related to this topic, Post 6 might be of interest to you,</p>

<p>Another great thread here on CC, next steps and what to do if waitlisted.</p>
