Has anyone heard from NYU?

JoeySsance, how did you like Princeton? I've been accepted there (for German, not French). I'm from NYC and the thought of moving to Princeton, NJ is a little scary. (Though truth be told, I'll probably be spending most of my time in the library no matter where I end up going!)

Congrats!! I got a big fat "no", so I'm pretty let down. I had a particular interest in Princeton's program, I have to say. But I had a few freak out moments last week that prepared me for this, so I'm going to take solace in my one acceptance and hope at least one other program works out. Good luck peeps
Oh, I'm so sorry! I was hoping we would all get in. You seem so well-prepared. Who knows what ad coms are looking for. (I only have an undergrad degree, but my interests are completely different than yours.)
Anyway, does anyone know if Princeton does a visiting weekend or anything like that? Or would it be weird to email the DGS and ask if I could visit the department?

Last week I was waitlisted at Brown, and just now I got an email from Princeton. I've been accepted! I'm in shock, complete shock, as I wasn't expecting this at all.

So basically, this means we will know by the 24th if we've been accepted or not. Ahhhhhhhh! Soooooo nerve-wracking.

Is there a way to check and see if Harvard has received all your supporting materials? NYU has a link where you can log in and see, but I'm not sure if Harvard does. Now I'm worried! I guess I could call the admissions office, though I'm sure they're still crazed over there.

Thanks, Joey. That helps. The German department at Princeton is amazing, really world-class, and that's what matters most! They're doing an open house weekend next month, which I'm really excited about.
Though it seems shockingly expensive to live in Princeton on the (admittedly very generous) stipend. Graduate housing on campus is as much as I pay in rent in NYC! Granted, I have a housemate here, but still!
