Interesting development: I applied to the American Studies MA program at NYU. Still no word on admission, not via email (despite an inquiry sent on Monday directly to the department head) nor by snail mail. BUT! Last night I was able to create a NetID at NYU and log in to the student website where you can view your transcripts, class schedule, etc. I was not able to do this prior to yesterday, it kept saying I had to be a "student" of NYU in order to access it. The site has my status listed as a master's candidate in AMST. Now, I don't know if this definitely means I got in, I won't believe it until I see something in writing. But it is a positive sign at least. I suggest you guys try the same thing. go to home.nyu.edu.

Do you know when Columbia's going to notify us if we got in? How long could they possibly take with it being so late in the year already.

Yep, still waiting on American Studies to get back to me and tell me I'm not accepted. I only applied to the masters program (not PhD) so I'm holding out a small glimmer of hope that I might actually get in. I emailed one of the profs in the department today. He responded by saying he does not handle admissions but will forward my inquiry on to Prof. Nikhil Singh. That's the guy to talk to. Let's see what he tells me, IF he tells me anything. Also, everyone, anyone apply to Columbia's LSMA in American Studies? I just sent in my application. The deadline isnt until April 1st! For the Fall! What gives? Is this a joke of a program? Easy to get into, at least?
