lindsey, could you please tell me when and how nyu contacted you concerning their decision? thanks so much!

so basically this means you're waitlisted, doesn't it?

sorry to hear about your rejections from harvard and nyu, lindsey! i don't know about harvard - but as for nyu, it's really a shame, the department they have seems very interesting. when/how did you hear about it?

oh boy ... yes, brown's mass notification of failure reached me too. too bad. but wasn't a great fit anyways. lindsey, have you already visited rutgers? how was it?

has any of you guys heard back from Brown or NYU?!

so you yourself were rejected by Cornell? would you do me a favor and check your online application status?

and how did they inform your friend? via postal service? email?

can anyone answer my question please? I haven't heard anything from Cornell if you log into your cornell online application - what does it say under "status"? mine still says "in progress".

yes, for a german program thats pretty much as high as it gets (regarding basic stipends)

there is no such thing as the "best" german program. it pretty much depends on your interests. there are programs with a theoretical emphasis, programs with a literary emphasis, program foregrounding modernity, others focussing on earlier periods. also, there is the question of methodology: how do you want your work to operate? in a structuralist way? a post-structuralist way? do you want to be a marxist critic? or an analytical scholar? the answers to all these questions determine the program which is best for you. in terms of funding, however, the ivy schools rule.

hey you two, i've applied to the area studies program at cornell german but i haven't heard/received anything yet. thus i was wondering: if you log into your cornell online application - what does it say under "status"? mine still says "in progress". thanks a lot!
