Also just saw on the results search that someone got a phone call with an acceptance from them yesterday. So maybe we will hear more soon.

That's the one I had! Do you like using flash cards? I'm a flash card junkie, so I made flash cards for the word lists and studied them before I went to bed and when I woke up; I like to think it helped!

I emailed the head of the division back in January and he said that I would not be getting an offer of admission from them; the story was the usual - lots of applicants blah blah great pool blah. He said official rejections had not been signed yet, but I assume that means they were decided then.

Oh I'm so happy to see this! I will be visiting a school I've already been admitted to as well and had this exact same question. I figured I'd be fine going with casual but presentable, so that's what I'll do.

I really liked the way the Princeton Review book prepared me for the verbal section. Maybe try that if you haven't? I don't know. I didn't do wonderfully on it (158) but I got by.

Maybe it depends on who you contact? I contacted the head of the C&P program for NYU.

Both NYU and Princeton have had their interview weekends, I believe. I did see one flat out rejection get posted on the results for Princeton Cognitive. I haven't heard anything at all from Princeton, but I got tired of waiting for NYU and emailed and was rejected nicely - no official rejection from them yet, though.

I was admitted to a program in early January without an interview; actually, it was (practically) the first I had heard from the program - they emailed me asking me for my official transcripts in December but that was it. However, I have seen interviews happening for multiple programs I applied to and I don't know what it means that I haven't heard from them! Gah. So flustered about those programs, mostly because I hate not knowing things.

I got an offer from University of Illinois U-C (top choice, will probably be attending), interview then rejected from Ohio State (lack of fit). I finally got tired of waiting around for NYU and sent them an email and got this reply: "you won't be admitted to the C&P program for next year. We got lots of great applications, but can only accept a dozen or so (out of 240!) and so tough decisions have to be made. Good luck with your other applications. I haven't officially signed rejections yet, so an official notification could take a while." I got that on January 17, so I'm thinking the decisions were made then. Hopefully you haven't-heards aren't in my boat, and perhaps are second-tier interests? I am pretty sure all interview notifications were sent a while ago, though.

"You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically - to say 'no' to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside." - Stephen Covey
