Congratulations on making the waitlist at Cornell. Surely that has to be a very short list, and it ain't over until April. Which school would you prefer to get into?

Good question. I imagine it is the first, but remains ambigious. Probably it wouldn't hurt to ask outright.

Yup, I'll be there. How would I recognize you? Will you be the one with the rose pinned to your lapel?

Thank you. No, they emailed on Friday. I'm stunned and have been unable to wipe the stupid grin off my face all weekend. They haven't sent official details yet and for all I know might not be done with selection. Best of luck to you.

Just got admitted to Cornell Comp Lit. Anybody else?

Half the people who got in in the last two years did not make the recruitment week interview list. Don't lose hope.

Is anyone else out there still waiting for any word from NYU either way? I contacted the department and was told that they could reveal nothing since "the application process is ongoing," which seemed a bit odd to me: surely they ought to know by now.
