Hi all! I've found these posts incredibly helpful to understand the admissions timeline, so I figured I'd join the group and share some info. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted or is in the interview process!! I applied to Hunter and NYU's accelerated Spring programs. My NYU application was complete on 10/2 and I was accepted on 10/8 (Thursday night). My Hunter application was completed at the end of September, but I'm still waiting to hear if I get an interview. It's so nervewracking!! I'm in the exact same boat as everyone here---I would ideally love to attend Hunter as I'm a career changer switching over after 8 years in inner city education as a teacher/AP (and I already have my M.S.Ed from Penn and an Ed.S) so the more money I can save, the better!!! NYU offered a scholarship, which was great and makes me feel better about having them as a backup, but we're still talking about a lot of money in the long term. Also, does anyone have a sense of the average student age in each program? Are accelerated students usually older/more experienced? What does this look like at Hunter v NYU? It would be great to attend a program with a diverse cohort--different levels of age/experience really do enrich the learning process....
