FL,

A person who is waitlisted at school A and admitted with a huge scholarship to school B does mean something.

It means that school A thinks that person has "something", but not enough to be accepted right away. Meanwhile, school B thinks that persons "something" is perfect for their school so they will give them a scholarship to attend.

That something can be anything. Maturity, talent, originality, etc...

Best,

Bandar

Getting wait listed at school A and accepted at school B could only mean that school B thinks your "something" if school A and school B have the same admissions standards. But none of these schools do. They're all competitive, wonderful programs, but some have fewer seats and some have more resources.

It's statistically harder to make it onto a wait list at these schools than to be accepted so be proud of yourself and know that you would be there for sure if they had one more seat. So all you need to do is hope that someone doesn't want their seat and that that said seat will soon be yours! Good luck!

Calligrl03 -

You've given me hope! I too am on the waitlist for NYU... I thought all the decisions have been made for fall 08... looks like I might have some more waiting to do.

For the incoming 1st year students:

some of the younger folks in the department have put together a wiki page about NYU. it's meant for current students, but should give some insight into what's ahead for you.
