Any idea of job placement after completing the MA and median 1st year salary ? I wanna apply for their PhD, but I believe the application is going to be extremely competitive. I'm guessing... chances for getting a job after graduation might be better than being admitted to their PhD... wondering what others think anyone heading there this fall ?

Well, you don't have to be objective... Nobody can. IMO, whichever you pick, as long as you work hard, take good care of yourself, you can't lose. Anyway, best of luck !

MA in Near Eastern Studies with a business option @ Hagop Kevorkian Center I was an Arabic major in college and was admitted by both kevorkian center and Georgetown MAAS, both without funding. It's been killing me, choosing between NYU and GT. But somehow I feel NYC suits me better... I'm not sure about my decision even now, when I'm about to mail my candidate reply form to NYU. And I'm trying my best to ignore those "choosing your grad school determines the rest of your life" talk. It scares me, and I think maybe it's better to leave it all to fate I would love to get in touch with those who are about to be my fellow classmates. hohoemide@163.com E-mail me, if you're as uncertain as I am. We can share our fears about the future

Was it via e-mail or post? Columbia I mean. Why haven't I heard anything... They won't even respond to my e-mail I got my rejection e-mail from UPenn yesterday. Looks like I'm gonna end up in either NYU or GT.

Many thanks !

Someone posted an acceptance in February. I just asked the coordinator, she said: " Our department had a large number of applications and it took some time to read all of them. Decisions will be mailed to applicants at the end of this week, so you should hear shortly." Does this mean they are not going to send e-mails? Only via postal service? Anyone here who also applied to this program?

anyone heard anything? The waiting's killing me... If I'm not good enough then reject me now ! God I wish they will notify everyone ASAP so that we could all avoid jeopardizing our enrollment at other schools
