Hi all,
I've been following this thread and just decided to get an account because I GOT IN, and I figured I could offer some helpful info.
Program: MA in Poli Sci for Fall 2010
Acceptance format: Hard copy letter in the mail, dated March 15th, with a hand-written note from Robert Macdonald.
FYI I applied before their priority deadline (Jan 19) for which they said if you applied before then you would get your letter mid-March.
No funding offered as far as I can tell.
Also, this link for accepted students says there are receptions on the 25th of March, so as long as you applied before Jan 19th you'll probably know by then: http://www.newschool...e.aspx?id=15954
Good luck all! I hope this was helpful!
