I found out today while I was at work in the library I work at. I was helping train a new person so I wasn't compulsively checking my email like I usually do. I found out I got in about 30 minutes before my lunch break. I ran around our reading room, telling all the librarians that I had gotten into grad school. When I finally got to go to lunch, I shared the news with my relatives. I've been floating all afternoon!

I don't know if anyone else is applying to University of Denver but I got invited to their Interview Day.

All of the librarians at the New-York Historical Society went to different grad school programs (both in the NYC area and out of state) including CUNY Queens. NYPL did have a lot of archivists who went to Pratt but there were archivists from other schools. But I only know about the Archives and Manuscripts division.

Some of my co-workers have done the NYU program and have wonderful things to say about it. I personally am not really planning on staying in NYC. I'm from where the Midwest meets the Northeast, went to school in Texas, and I've always found myself feeling more connected to the Midwest which is where a lot of the schools I'm applying to are. If you're interested in living in NYC, I'd say go for NYU. Pratt is definitely the best LIS program in NYC though. A lot of the faculty work for the best library institutions in the city including the New York Public Library.

I'm still getting some of my applications in but I'm applying for my MLS with a focus in archiving. I graduated in 2012 and have been working for the New York Public Library and New-York Historical Society in the mean time.

I graduated in 2012 and have been working so I'll probably quit my job in June (if I get in to grad school). I plan on traveling around the country and visiting my friends. If I get rejected, I'll just keep on working.
