I emailed NYU today as I've also not heard back, and the official word is that decisions will go out early next week.

After thirteen rejections (and 2 more IR) I just got into the only master's program I applied for and I'm pretty happy about it, because it's a 9 mo. program on Irish writing, which is my focus! Trinity College Dublin, here I come??!

Ha it definitely remains to be seen how successful I'll be in that regard...I think the pubs might get me, too!

TCD is so amazing, congrats!!! God I would sell an organ to be in that school and in that city. I don’t know how much work I’d get done surrounded by that accent though

WOO!!! Massive congrats!
 
In undergrad I was really into Beckett and really wanted to go to TCD, it’s an amazing program, congrats!

Anyone know when NYU typically starts accepting students into the MA (after PhD rejection)? 

Can Berkeley end this whole misery please? 

Me! I might email today.

I left my app open to Irish lit by mentioning some work I did on Irish identity as Other but it's not my focus.  Honestly I can't recommend enough looking at the work published by recent graduates of the program.  Pretty sure I totally lucked out applying to SMU this year because their one student who seemed to be doing what I do graduated last spring.  I read her work and we have a ton of overlapping interests.  But who knows, like you said, there may have been a ton of other applicants with similar interests.  Here's hoping something works out for you in the end this cycle!
 
I'm getting kind of irritated about not getting my rejections from UofO and UConn.  The latter already sent out waitlist notifications so I know it's a reject...but I need them to pop the last, aged, sad balloon of hope I'm dragging around by a string.  I really wish all the programs would send out all notifications on the same day, well before April.  

Ooooh, like since they impose the April 15 decision deadline, also impose a like March 1 notification deadline or something along those lines. They could also have a national application deadline. That would be really useful across the board. Everyone would be on the same schedule.

thought this may ease some of your minds: I've been admitted to NYU, CUNY, Rutgers, and Columbia thus far, and accepted Columbia's offer a few days ago. I contacted the admissions department from each of the other schools about my decision yesterday and have received responses from all, so for those waitlisted or especially waiting for responses from Rutgers, spots are opening up! And to future members of my cohort: hello!

You know, if I ever become a professor, I am going to remember this pain and discomfort just waiting for the rejection and make sure that students hear from my school ASAP. But probably because I know what that is like, I might never make it to be a professor. Big sad.
