I suppose one could pay the deposit and then still wait and see and lose the deposit if you really want to consider all options? I don't anticipate hearing from some schools, though, as late as March/April, so I really think it's just considering what you think your chances are. I think I'll hear back from maybe a handful by mid-December.

@knh39- would you mind if I asked you what your credentials were like? I feel like I've been put in the ',maybe' pile and ill have to wait longer to hear my decision. i applied early. I have a 3.0 from undergrad but my transcript isnt a great site. for instance i failed many classes (honestly, due to illness and depression as a result- which i tried to explain in my transcript). since then i have 46 credits after college with a 3.96 gpa, including 4.0's in all of my pre reqs. It's really sad to me that my undergrad, which was 11-6 years ago, could possibly haunt me and stay with me. oh well wishful thinking! thanks for listening

Well, if it makes you feel any better, lahhere, I had some not too great grades my freshman year. I was in a major I hated, was so incredibly home sick, and probably was just not mature enough to take on everything that I did. I also went to college with my boyfriend and was hospitalized for a week right before finals, which didn't help. My GPA was just below a 3. Since then, I've consistently gotten much better grades (undergrad was 3.6, my preqs are about the same, 3.5 right now, but I anticipate As in the two classes I have in progress). I am sure they will take into consideration the fact that you have shown so much improvement over time.

i was accepted today as well!!! congrats to everyone who was accepted today!

@lahere-- I totally understand where you are coming from, my undergrad gpa was a 3.0, as i wasn't really looking to excel in college, I was just looking to pass- which i was afraid would come back and haunt me as i was applying to grad schools. But I think as long as your prereqs are good, your personal statement and letters of rec are good, you should be fine. Those are definitely what I think got me in. I was sooooo nervous too. I explained how I didn't have my priorities straight during my undergrad but how I have matured etc...HAVE FAITH!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! It's good that you haven't gotten a rejection yet, it means you are still in there! Good luck! :)

Hopefulapplicant - congrats!! Perhaps I'll see you in January in the pre-req classes! What ones do you have to take? I will be taking Chem and Microbio and then probably A&P in the summer.

Also, congrats to everyone else as well!!

Hey Lahere- I think they definitely look at more than just GPA. My undergrad GPA was a 2.9 ( I had a 1.0 my first semester, YIKES). MY grad school GPA (I have a Master's in Public Health) was a 3.7 and I also have two really awesome internships under my belt doing community health outreach work in NYC. I also have several years experience working in doctors offices. Good Luck!

Hi RhodyRed - Congrats to you as well! I have to take Chem, Micro and Dev. Psych. Look forward to meeting you!

Is anyone looking for a roommate by any chance? I'm 25, female, have a really sweet dog, am pretty low-key at home and am easy to live with :).

Can the admin of the facebook group make it open? I tried joining it but it won't let me.

Is there anyone who got rejected from nyu & is going to reapply for next term ? Or did anyone get accepted after reapplying for the second time.
