@sampsuncongrats, that’s amazing!!! A post April 15th dream come true! Best of luck in the program, if you decide to attend.

Above was in reference to NYU American studies rejecting me but referring my app to a masters, meant to quote the above post.

I was admitted to the interdisciplinary studies masters with partial funding and will be declining the offer.

Hi all! I will be enrolling in the Performance Studies PhD program at Northwestern this fall. Any other NU folks out there?

Twitter. Search NYU American Studies.

I saw folks posting about being accepted to NYU American Studies over a month go, so I think we can be pretty certain we’ve been rejected if we haven’t heard anything.

I got rejected as well, but that’s okay because I already accepted an offer at my top choice, Northwestern. Best of luck to everyone else!

@PSward13thank you!!! Best of luck with NYU and any other schools you may be considering! I may not know who you are but I know that every single person who interviewed with Northwestern seemed brilliant and like they have great futures ahead of them!

Damn, they’re pushing up awful close against that April 15th deadline!

I think this depends largely on whether you’re set on getting your PhD at NYU. I’ve heard that NYU tends to strongly favor their masters students when admitting to their very selective PhD program. I’m starting my PhD at Northwestern this fall and I only have a B.A. from a large, not so prestigious public research university. Ultimately, I didn’t even consider NYU because of the price tag on the M.A. If you have the financial resources to justify going to NYU, I’d say go for it, but I’d never suggest someone take out $100,000 ($60,000 tuition plus cost of living in NYC) in loans for an M.A.

I’ve been holding off on posting my news in case all results hadn’t gone out for the program, but I think I should be good now. I got into Northwestern Performance Studies! I really can’t believe it. I didn’t think anything was going to happen for me this year, because I’m straight out of undergrad (took a gap year) and I went to a not very competitive state school. I also got rejected from literally every single other program I applied to. All this to say that it only takes one! If you haven’t heard back from all your schools yet, don’t lose hope.

I got an offer at my top choice institution, so I will not be attending UC San Diego, but if I hear anything I will absolutely let you guys know! I know how awful the wait is, and I hope you all get some peace soon!

Anyone else just ready for this hell to be over? I'm still waiting on Northwestern's final decision and literally anything from UC San Diego ethnic studies but I just want my freedom to think or talk about anything else back I can't even read, I am so anxious.

Anyone heard back from UC San Diego Ethnic Studies or have thoughts on the matter? I saw the comments on the results page and just wanted to get a thread going in case anyone has further thoughts!

I'm starting to wonder if NYU American Studies is one of those programs that doesn't bother to send out rejections. I always find that really inconsiderate and inhumane, considering the amount of time and effort we put into applications.
