Not sure quite -how- connected the admissions process is between the English and Comp. Lit. departments is at Columbia but my guess is that they release their decisions around the same time (their English program for sure usually notifies around this week historically). I also applied to Princeton and am a little skeptical of the acceptance on the board but regardless, it looks like the rejections typically come around this week as well. I didn't apply to NYU so I can't speak to when they release their picks but I hope that this helps console you a bit! Hopefully we both hear good news from these programs this week
