Whoop I got into Fordham. I sent my application in October. It was completed in first week of January!

I submitted my application on 11/17. It was completed on 1/17 and I was accepted on Feb 7. This is for NYU btw. I received a scholarship with the acceptance letter.

I'll be headed to New York and I'm from California!

Did you receive an email notification or did it show up on your online vip page? I sent you a PM by the way.

Hi everyone. Can anyone give me some pros/cons of both of these schools (excluding program)? I won't have the opportunity to visit both campuses and would love any insight to help me with my decision making! Thanks!

I've heard through a couple people who lived in Boston that BC doesn't have a graduate school feel to it. Would you agree? I'm trying to decide whether BC is a better choice or NYU. :/

Does anyone know much about Boston College? Campus? Location? Pros? Cons? I'm trying to narrow down my choices. Thanks!

What do you mean by "people"? Could you elaborate more on that?

They are giving me 7k which isn't a whole lot in my opinion.

Got into NYU Whoooo

I submitted my app 11/06 and it was completed 11/20. They are giving me three weeks from when I receive the acceptance letter in the mail to confirm my spot. I'm a bit disappointed they don't give me a lot of time since I'm still waiting for other schools to respond. Good luck!

Whoo got into Boston College. Hurraaaaahhh. They sent me an email today!

Ughhh I still haven't heard from them. I caved in and sent an email, but I still haven't received a response. It'd be nice to hear from them soon so I can make a decision as to where I want to go. Do you know if Fordham or NYU require you to take a Statistics Prereq. course?

Congrats! Did you receive an email?

Most schools take about 4-6 weeks generally to review your application and get back to you. Of course, the earlier you apply, the chances of you hearing back from them are sooner. It also depends if the schools you are applying to are on a rolling basis. If the school is on a rolling basis they will review it once your application is complete. But, if it is not, they generally wait til the deadline has passed..as far as I am aware of. I'm not sure about whether they send rejection letters or acceptance letters first...it all depends on the schools that you are applying to. Same goes with mail and electronic form---some schools will state that they will send their decision via email or mail (example: boston college). So what it really comes down to is which schools youre applying to because every school has their own way of dealing with the application process. Best of luck!

Ahhhh congratulations! I hope I get an email soon too. This wait is killing me.

Ahh okay. Now I'm going to start checking my email. This wait is KILLER. I'm assuming I'll find out this week too since you submitted later than me. Hoping good luck for the both of us!

Thanks! I'll definitely give them a call. Do you know if they will notify you by email or you have to wait for the postal mail? It's been such a long wait that it's killing me! I'll let you know what I hear from them.

Nope I've yet to hear back from too. It's pretty frustrating since they are on a rolling basis. My application was officially complete on 12/13...so if I'm not counting Christmas break .. I should hear back from them sometime next week to first week of Feb (since they said it takes about 4-6 weeks)

Ahhh okay I'm assuming since I applied so close to the deadline that it'll take longer than 10 days. But if they get back to me that early I would be so stoked. Congrats!

I submitted my application December 5th. Hope this helps! WUSTL is giving me til May 1st to respond so I have plenty of time as I wait for the other schools to get back to me. They also gave me a $20,000 scholarship....which is pretttttty enticing. Haha.

Hey mstea...when did you apply and how long did it take for them to accept you?

WUSTL just posted their first rounds of acceptance letters (1/8). I didn't even get an email but checked through the online application. So if you applied, make sure to check online because they don't send anything via mail or email. I got in!!

Oh I forgot to add...how did NYU notify you? by mail? letter? through their online application status ?

Oh wow. NYU got back to you extremely fast. Thanks so much this is extremely helpful! I guess I'll just have to wait to see who accepts me and who offers me more money!
