Ha, looks like they have posted some accepts and some rejects. But I also don't have a decision link yet. I wonder if that means we're waitlisted?

((Argh! I just typed up a long response and lost it because the UI on this thing keeps on confusing me!)) Thanks for your detailed responses -- they are quite informative! However, I think you're mistaken about funding for the PhD program there: NYU funds all of its PhD students in all departments with the same McCracken fellowship, which has a base of about $22k (some people get more) for five years, and a sixth year is nearly guaranteed. You're right about their MA programs being cash cows (especially Draper!!), but I think their PhD students are well-funded.

I am wondering what the general impression of NYU's program is. If you are applying there, can you describe why? Or if there is a specific reason you are not applying there, can you say why not? How effective and reputable is it? What is its ranking?
