It's not the same situation but my school address is an unusual one, and the zip code is often unrecognized. It has been difficult when ordering things, or applying for things that require an address. The lengthy explanations, the impracticality of having to make a simple process turn into an extended conversation- I suggest you seriously contemplate whether it will be worth it, and do you want all of your future work to be strangely credited, as well? I respect your conviction and your name. I just wonder if you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't take the time and expense now, to compromise - even if only for official documents and correspondence. Best of luck!

Hi Caitlin, I applied by the January deadline, too, which was regular decision, not early decision, and I haven't heard anything, either. I think the early decision applicants are mostly who have received a response or a "too close to call" letter. You're not alone in anticipation. Hang in there... They said "March 24" so anything can still happen.

Congratulations dp2065!!!! I will be starting in June, as well. It's all so exciting. This gradcafe forum has been extremely helpful... And continues to be- I appreciate you mentioning the Dispatches Blog, because I haven't looked at it in awhile and I'm still figuring a lot out- like working etc. You must be especially looking forward to beginning, after deferring-congrats again!

Thank you izzyb92! I applied first week of January.

I was accepted to NYU today! Uncertain about financial aid...

Not at all; January

Congratulations! When did you apply?

Yes. January. Yes.

Hi jalapeno_bagel, Did the email begin with this: "We have received your financial aid application for the 2015-16 year. If you are a continuing student or are admitted to the UW, and are eligible for aid, your application will go through a review process. We may ask you to provide information before or after we offer you aid. Please respond promptly to every request. Once we have awarded you aid, we will send you an award notice via email."? If so, I received it, too! Puzzling.

Not sure about rent because it's been years since I lived there but the best martinis in the whole wide world are at Duvic's on Kalurah St.

Thank you for the info! It is so thoughtful of you to share what you were told in your phone call. I applied the same time you did and I've been wondering when we might receive the decision. Good luck and thanks again!

I will be greatly in debt, but I likely will accept. There are loan forgiveness opportunities I plan to pursue that will help. I realized I would be in debt when I chose to apply. It is worth it to me, because of the caliber of Smith and the unique program. I also think the block plan will make it more practical to work during the two years. I am excited and willing to be in debt. I see the cost as finite and the positives as infinite. (I realize many people reading this will see it differently and I enjoy hearing other perspectives as much as the next person, however: I am offering this as my perspective, not as an invitation for debate.)

Congratulations and thanks for the info! Did you apply by early decision deadline or regular decision deadline?

I was accepted to Smith today! I haven't heard from UW yet and I didn't apply to Hunter.

I received my acceptance letter today!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am really excited for you! I wish you the best!

I wasn't interviewed; I hope that isn't a standard procedure for all admitted students. Do you know if that is the case? The letter should be arriving any day now... Good luck!

I was asking anyone who had been accepted; I wasn't specific - my mistake. Thanks for your response.

May I ask: When did you apply to NYU? (And congratulations!)

Thank you rosesw and monochrome. I appreciate you two taking time to answer my question.

Hi, I realize this is an old thread... Is anyone on this forum these days- waiting for early acceptance decision for June 2015?

hickub2 (and any NYU applicants/students) Did you receive emails before you were accepted that were along the lines of "Welcome to Silver... I am pleased you have applied. I encourage you to continue to explore what Silver offers... Visit our vibrant community..." (From the Dean) I am wondering if this is sent to everyone who applies.

Congratulations, rosesw! When did you apply? I received an email last night and the subject line was "Welcome to the Silver School..." - I was so excited. But it turned out to be an email encouraging me to continue exploring all that the program has to offer, and highlighting all the strengths of NYU Silver. It was puzzling, given that I've already applied. Anyway, I am very happy for you!!!!

I applied by Jan. 5 deadline, as well. Good luck to everyone. The waiting is more frustrating than I anticipated.
