Thank you so much for your useful information!

Wagner admitted me earlier, and until yesterday, I was still convinced that I was going to NYU since I had not got any better admittances yet. While then this morning, I found that I got admitted to Cornell CIPA. It then become a difficult choice, because I love them both. Wagner is better in program ranking and better located. But Cornell is better known than NYU, at least in my country. Please give me some advice or your opinion. Thank you in advance!

Just got waitlisted from my TOP program today, and it discourages applicants from further requesting any interview opportunity or submitting materials ( they say they don't rank the waitlist and the spot may not open up until summer........ ) Being unable to do anything but waiting can't be any more stressful!!! To unfetter myself from this agony, I think I may just accept the only admittance I have got. It costs hugely though...

I personally think this experience is not limited to graduate students. I have been through a similar situation as well, though I have not been to a grad school. It may be the solitude and pressure make you feel this way. I don't know exactly what kind of problem you are facing, but I can somehow understand you. It is just because you are growing. People grows to be of clearer mind about themselves and surroundings, to be more independent and tougher, so they just have to abandon some fantasies. Welcome to the adult's world. You are just transforming to prepare youself for more responsibilities to take in the future. It's not easy, so be strong. Good luck with you!
