I don't think it's a big deal... I didn't waive mine either and it doesn't seem to have impacted my acceptances. Fret not!

I heard from SAIC's Visual Communications Design department by email about a week and a half ago but have yet to receive my official acceptance packet in the mail. That should be coming soon, apparently, so keep an eye on your mailbox... either way, you should probably get something in the very near future. I applied to different design programs than you at MICA (social design), SVA (design for social innovation) and Parsons (transdisciplinary design) and heard back from all of them via phone or email last week, but I know that most schools' admissions process can vary by department so it probably couldn't hurt for you to give them a call and ask what's up. Hope that helps!

I'm a longtime lurker so I figure it's about time I set up an account and actually contribute to the discussion, particularly since I have some Pratt MFA Communication Design info. I heard from Jeff Bellantoni (the department chair) today and he said that the official letters of acceptance should go out tomorrow (I think they're sending them via snail mail). I received an early admission email as well, but to those who didn't you shouldn't necessarily freak out... I only had one interview, as opposed to jljr07's two, and I got my email last week so it doesn't sound like the admissions process is exactly the same for everyone. Fingers crossed for everyone who's waiting to hear back!
