got off the waitlist at NYU yesterday and eagerly accepted my offer. congrats to all of ya!

just declined offer to CUNY. Hope it helps someone.. Still on NYU waitlist myself. Any word, anyone?

I too have recently declined my offers from u. wash and university of south carolina. Am currently on NYU's waitlist, however, and am eagerly awaiting. Anyone else also on this? Anyone considering rescinding their offer? ;D

I'd agree; the latter.

Just wondering if there still anyone else waiting for a response from NYU. It seems that their (unfunded) MA offers went out today. I still haven't heard a peep.

Ha, yes this is the sort of attitude I have as well, but I thought I'd ask either way. I've already been accepted to a few great-fit programs, but NYU just-might be a game changer. It is the single school left for me that both sent out notices to both its admits and so many of its rejects and yet I am still waiting. An MA, unfunded or not, is not a degree I need any longer. And with that said, "almost getting in" to NYU isn't the kind of validation I care for either. We will see! I appreciate the note!

hi all. does anyone know how the NYU reception went this weekend? Whether they seem might be accepting anymore people into their cohort? I still haven't received a rejection - don't know how to take that.. Cheers!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I spoke to the graduate director yesterday evening. They had a problem with my email add. on file, and it looks like i was they were going to send me a note saying that I was a "finalist" but was not ultimately accepted to the program. They have apparently already told the 16 of the 700 that applied their final decision. She mentioned nothing of a waitlist either. I hope this helps, if anything, to keep pushing on with all your other prospective schools. Good luck!

This is my logic as well. Tho I've been accepted to a few places I'm quite happy with, NYU's acceptance would be validating (and would probably be a game-changer). I just hope that CUNY is still slowly squeezing out those damn fellowships. I guess we will wait and see. Thanks for your note!

Hi all, I've been a lurker of these forums for a while - and am an applicant to NYU's Eng. program for the Fall term (and at this point an accepted candidate at CUNY). I was curious if anyone knew what (either historically, or currently) the status of NYU's pooling process currently is. A few weeks earlier (around the 1st) it seemed as if the only applicants who had heard any positive news from NYU were all international students...my logic at the time being that they would let their domestic acceptees know of their decision by the end of the month... is this incorrect? That time's certainly come. Maybe I should have spoken up earlier, but I am eager to hear back from NYU and I know that the last time I applied (2010), I got an email from them in late March notifying me of my rejection - a letter I'd rather not bite my nails over, again. Also, does anyone know how NYU's wait-listing works? It looks as if last year (judging from the results forum), people were "accepted" well after the open house/reception. In any case, thanks for all the help on this forum. It's helped answer a lot of questions I have had and made me think about things I've definitely overlooked (the topic of this thread being a prime example ).
