As of last week a professor of mine who knows people there on the admission's committee said that they are still deliberating, and he wasn't given a prospective date for when they might be done. I don't know what exactly that is supposed to tell any of us, but at least it's information...
If anyone is applying to The New School, they're going to send out decisions early next week. I emailed their director of admission with another question, and he kind of out of the blue just told me that lol. Not exactly the news I was expecting to hear!
To those saying they just want to hear anything, even a rejection, just to make the wait easier – it helps for about 15 minutes. Then you just get anxious again.

I guess I'll add to the writing sample discussion:
Mine was drawing connections between Kant's critical philosophy and Hannah Arendt's political thought.
