<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>
