On and Off Campus Events for Accepted Students

Starting in late March and extending into April, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions hosts a variety of events on and away from the NYU campus for freshmen who will be offered admission.  As invitations to these events arrive in mailboxes across the country over the next few weeks we want you to keep a few things in mind.

First, our admissions process continues through the end of March.  While we are in the process of finalizing decisions, we must also begin mailing program invitations so that families can make necessary travel arrangements.  However, at this time we are still actively reviewing applicants and making admissions decisions.  As such, not receiving an invitation is in no way an indication of an admissions decision.  All applicants will receive official admissions decisions notification on or around April 1st.

Further, each of our schools and colleges offer different events; some sponsor a single event, while others host several. Because of space limitations on campus, and our desire to do everything we can to ensure that all visitors have a quality experience and ample opportunity to have all of their last-minute questions answered completely, we purposely spread out attendance by staggering our events, and by staggering the mailing dates of our invitations. Quite simply, all of our soon-to-be-admitted students will be invited to an admissions event, but not everyone will receive the same invitation or receive them at the same time.

We certainly understand that this is an anxious time for students as they await our official decision.  However, we discourage students from trying to read too much into what not receiving an invitation may or may not indicate.  Please try to be patient.
