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!

Hey! I finished the last of my apps last week. So, let the waiting begin! I applied to Yale, NYU, UT Austin (Meichner), UCSD and Columbia. It's my first time applying and I have no idea what to expect. But, it's nice that this forum is here for people in the same boat as me over the next few months!
