Any phd applicants heard anything from NYU yet?

I heard from Harvey Young a couple of days ago. I was accepted into the IPTD at northwestern (pending approval of the dean. I hope you got similar good news! Finally heard back from Columbia--rejected. Was also recently rejected from Brown after interviewing with them. So even though I am still waiting to hear back from NYU, I am very happy with the options that I have: Berkeley, Minnesota, Tufts, and Northwestern. If anybody has any info they want to share about these programs id love to read it.

Hey how was the interview/prospectives weekend? I got invited by the IPTD program but I was giving a paper at a conference that weekend and couldn't make it. I interviewed on skype. They seemed really great for what little time I did get to speak with them (~1 hour). How many folks did they invite that weekend?

TAPS 2016, out of those three I really only know that I will not be accepting the offer from Berkeley. I'm waiting to hear back about a fellowship from Minnesota which I'll then weigh against the one I was offered at Tufts, assuming I do not get into Brown or Northwestern (but still sending good vibes to those apps). Minnesota is an amazing program!

My department's administrative assistant just told me about this website today, and wow… it's so cathartic to read through and see that others are in similar positions. I'm currently a master's student at Washington University in St. Louis (excellent program in TAPS for anyone looking for a solid AM program…I'd love to chat with anyone about this program). I applied to Berkeley (PS), Minnesota (Theatre Historiography), Northwestern (IPTD), Tufts (Drama), Columbia (Theatre & Drama), NYU (PS), and Brown (TAPS). I haven't heard a peep from NYU or Columbia. I've been accepted into the programs at Berkeley, Tufts, and Minnesota. I had a Skype interview with Brown earlier today (unfortunately, I feel like it was the worst interview I've ever done). I interview with Northwestern next week. Brown is my number one choice so I'm still holding out hope. Anyone else heard anything from Columbia or NYU?
