NYU is the one school i am still waiting to hear from. ?

Is this secret waiting list real? I still have not heard from a number of schools and I have assumed that I was not accepted and they just havent sent out my rejection.

What if you accept at one school but then later have a change of heart and decide to accept at another school? Any repercussions beside the former school hating me?

Has anyone heard from Rutgers or Brandeis yet?

Thank you

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but where is there a good place to go to find reliable info on grad school rankings and placements? I’ve spoken to faculty and students but I want more, I am a greedy man. ? thanks everyone

Great perspective thanks. It really makes a difference when you can work within a large network of students and faculty.

LI to NYC is a commute but it is not difficult. 1 hour plus on the train. I grew up in NYC, not LI but I do have friends who commute to work in Manhattan and my wife plans on commuting. It is not a problem. who are you working with a Stony Brook? PM me if you like.

The NYC consortium is one of the major reasons why I am moving back to NY for grad school. My POIs are also very high on the program. Can anyone share any experiences with it? Positive or negative? Or just general thoughts on it? I’m really looking forward to taking advantage of it.

I’m with you guys on #2...that is how i feel about schools that have sent out notices to some but not to me.

Denied...UC Berkeley. But i was a long shot there and wasn’t expecting anything.

Patience. Before you know it February will be over and we will all know what the immediate future holds.

I’ve heard back from one school and it was an acceptance, so i am happy about that. My POI worked hard for me. I would love to check the others off just to move on. At this point, if I was a top choice I would have heard something so i am not feelng confident. I don’t take it personal because I can really see how it works s a question of fit and politics.

Same here...Columbia is a long shot for me though so I am not expecting anything.

I hear you man, the wait is ridiculous. Even after receiving one acceptance, waiting for the others is agonizing. Patience is the hardest part. I need to move across country by august and I would like to start planning as early as possible. PS. If anyone has any suggestions on cheap moving options...I’m all ears.
