All of this was helpful from Draft! The person at bottom followed up to say: "check your emails!!! they’ll probably notify into next week, i think. just bc you havent gotten a call doesnt mean you haven’t gotten in!"

I have no idea either, and am probably feeling premature doom and gloom! I'm a fiction applicant. Solidarity indeed if no news comes soon..

Do we think all the full-funding spots for NYU have gone out already? It seems like there was a spate of them on Draft yesterday...

I see one reported Columbia M.A. admittance on the results board and one reported wait-list, but both are said to be coming directly from POIs. Has anyone else heard anything official from the program? I emailed the graduate office at large a few weeks ago to ask when decisions would come, and all they could say was that applications were "still under review" and notifications would come by "late spring." For all the obvious reasons ($$$$$), I'm not wholly set on the program, but I would like to know if it's an option before making an M.A. program decision. Anyone have any input?
