Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. Just a few moments after I wrote that post, I received an acceptance phone call! So happy about NYU--the faculty are wonderful, the fellowship package is extremely generous, it's part of a consortium that allows for studying at Columbia, NYU, CUNY, Princeton, etc., and it's in Manhattan. Hoping that each of you gets a call from your dream school soon.
