Just received a notification from Columbia that I've been waitlisted (!! actually extremely excited about this news) and received an (official) rejection email from BU after a lovely email from Kate on Friday. Fingers crossed!! And, congrats @shortymcshortz Hope we get to be in the same cohort.
Hope everyone is staying physically and mentally healthy this week, and for the coming weeks... We'll get through this and heck, I think we'll make even better art because of it.
Love to y'all. Wild times. Wild, wild times.

Sorry about Columbia. Radio silence from NYU.

We are heading into the week when I should hear from the school from whom I really want to hear. This would stress me out by itself, but with the onslaught of news about this pandemic and other life things....whoo boy. Just trying to breathe and keep on with what I can control.

Hey! Update from me: I’m also on the BU waitlist!!
Really needed the good news given this semi-apocalyptic week...

Me too. I tried using them to create a student account, expecting nothing, but got in, lol. So whether I'm officially accepted or rejected (or maybe waitlisted? kinda the vibe I'm getting but perhaps just optimistic), I've accessed the portal. Idk if this means anything. @PlayWitch
Also a little surprised by silence from Columbia, after a positively affirming interview and even follow-up email from Morgan. So I'm anticipating/hoping for waitlist.
(Does anyone have experience with their waitlist systems??)
And this is where it gets tough... Commit to one of my other (more financially supportive) options, or hold out for these top choices, where scholarship money is likely non-existent? Blah. On top of the worldwide uncertainty, this indecision is exhausting!
Stay healthy, all (physically AND mentally). Heads up and hands clean!

Hello!
I posted here what feels like a decade ago and I've lurked ever since.
I applied to Yale, NYU, UCSD, Columbia, UT Austin and made a hail-mary -last-minute application to Ohio.
I've been declined from Yale, USCD and UT Austin.
I interviewed at NYU and Columbia.
I'm still waiting on Ohio.
I found out on Friday that I'M IN AT NYU!!! Which is crazy.
I felt like I had a great interview with Columbia, but crickets...
Now I'm looking at the financial reality of NYU. While they offered me a decent scholarship, since it's NYC, I'd still need to take out loans to make up the rest and for cost of living. Which is not ideal.
Can anyone speak to the reputation of the program? Is it truly up there with Yale or Juilliard? Or it is a a bit of a degree mill?
Best wishes to everyone applying and still in limbo!
Hang in there!

Does NYU assign a Net ID and University ID to all applicants? I feel like these things are new on my portal, but maybe I'm just living on hope.

Hey everyone! Don't forget to update the results page with Rejections, Acceptances, Interviews and Waitlist information! Remember how useful that information was/ would have been for you!

Hey everyone,
Long time lurker here, dipping my toe in for the first time to write. Wanted to first say what a salve this forum has been against the anxiety of this whole process. I haven't really joined the conversation before because I applied primarily to UK universities and only NYU and Yale in the States.
Just found out I've been accepted into NYU. I'm beyond elated. Just breathing a huge sigh of relief. Got an email with a notification to check the portal.
I've been given some financial aid but the whole thing is so confusing to figure out that I'd appreciate if anyone who could give me some help on that.

Congrats to everyone who received good news this week! I took a break from this forum because this process was starting to get to me, but after a very kind rejection email from Hunter telling me I'd been a semi-finalist and a hopeful-sounding waitlist email from BU, I'm at least feeling more confident.

I wonder if this coronavirus chaos will draw out this decision process.

I was waitlisted at Northwestern and rejected from Brown University today. This process has been unbelievably hard and trying especially for my anxiety and the little patience—I already have. I am happy to have this forum and see the positivity on here. It’s really helped me know there are others out there who are going through this with you.

Hey y'all! Got into Northwestern yesterday from a call from David T. Got half funding so definitely can't afford it, but it was very reassuring.
If anyone is on DRAFT, Jess made a great post about fighting for funding. Don't let the thrill of getting accepted stop you from fighting for what you deserve.
