@Andy Nguyen , found the link: it is 77 of of 700.

I think it includes part-timers.

You just got ninja'ed 4 minutes ago. Look up
The number is for FT only. PT number is much less (100 or so).

@siilypig
That's not entirely true. NYU MSFM does not have a rolling admission process so your chance does not depend on when you applied. As long as you have completed it before deadline, it's fair game.
They only started evaluation in Jan/Feb so if you get dinged, your profile is to blame.

Hehe. Yep.
Are rejections being sent at the same time or they will send all admits first?
I applied at the deadline and actually had some missing files, so I may be one of the last to be evaluated.

Did they send you emails saying that you have missing files? The document checking system is so confusing and I didn't know whether I missed any documents. I only completed the application online and also the recommendation letters are sent online.

Yeah, I got the email saying I m missing files. Don't worry, they would have emailed you if anything was missing. Good luck.

Sure. Good luck to all of us!

Andy,
Thanks for sharing the information.

I'm a little bit confused. So you are saying the later they evaluated your profile, the later they would send you admission? I sent my application in Jan and got an notification asking me to email some missing files. But I have got no decision from NYU today. Does that mean my application got declined?

 

[Paul Mithouard]

optimistic or pessimistic siilypig? ;p

Here is how it works.
The applications are received and handled by NYU Graduate School of Art and Science (GSAS), not by the MSFM program. When your file is missing something, the GSAS admission people will communicate with you. If in doubt, get some confirmation from Admission people that your file is complete. I know people who didn't check and got their file in limbo.

When a file is complete, it will be forwarded to the program to evaluate. The program started evaluation in Jan so by today, it's basically done with the bulk of the applications.
I do not know how many admit emails they have sent today but I'm not surprised if more people will get them next week.

If you look at the Tracker, majority of Rejects are in late April. Things are a bit faster this year so most people should hear from them via email by then. If you are a PT applicant, you will have a long wait.

 

[iniesta]

if they are done with the bulk of the evaluation, why dont they just send all the admits at once?

 

[Michaelbevan]

Just Curious.. Do they conduct interviews for the admission? I have applied in feb and haven't heard back from them. Also, there is no place/site where we can check the status which seems a little weird here.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

There is no interview for NYU MSFM. Which system they use for application submission? Is it Embark or some homegrown by GSAS?

 

[AlexandreH]

Embark for submission and homegrown to check for what has be received.

 

[Paul Mithouard]

it is called SMTS. Stands for "Supporting materials tracking system". You can check whether your test scores & transcripts have been received.

 

[Michaelbevan]

Oh Okay. They use Embark system for application submission.

 

[AlexandreH]

No news today? I guess no emails were sent today.

 

[iniesta]

because all the admits were out yesterday \sarcasm

 

[Paul Mithouard]

because all the admits were out yesterday \sarcasm

It is time for rejections now

 

[AlexandreH]

I received this today. I guess I will have to wait more.

"Your application is complete and was sent to the Admissions Committee."
