I applied to my 1st choice 3 times. First time I was rejected, the second time I was waitlisted, and the third time I made it. A lot of programs appreciate someone who reapplies, as long as they show they've taken that time to work on improving their work and portfolio. If you apply with the same stuff as before, then you can probably expect the same result.

ACCEPTED (via email)! - SVA Illustration as Visual Essay. (It's my third year applying, and last year I was wait-listed.) Pretty insanely giddy right now.

Illustration as Visual Essay. As we get close to the 15th, I find myself once again approaching my mailbox every day with baited breath. The suspense is killing me! And yes, if it's addressed to him, they will direct it properly (or they should).

You can send it to the Admissions office, to the attention of the Director of Admissions (it's on the wait list letter, if you received a paper letter?) be sure to include your applicant #. Adam Rogers, Director of Admissions Office of Graduate Admissions 209 E 23rd St New York, NY 10010. I sent one, Not sure if it helped- the only result so far was that they sent me an email that got my heart pumping, because it had the subject line "urgent message from the Office of Graduate Admissions", but turned out to be a word-for-word copy of my wait list letter. (Received on April 1st, so though I am intellectually sure it was a coincidence, a little part of me felt pranked.) I've decided the best I can do is sit tight.

I live in the US and got my letter about 2 weeks ago- waitlisted (for illustration). So the anticipation continues... Good luck though!
