I recently declined my offer from CUNY, so perhaps you will hear something soon. I do know from the Open House day I attended that both accepted and waitlisted students were invited and attended. Based on my own experience (recognizing prospective students from multiple Open House events in the area) I would expect some movement on the waitlist soon. Best of luck to you both!
I was contacted two weeks ago by the Director of Graduate Studies to let me know that I was waitlisted. There has not been any official notification or update to my application portal, though. Not sure if acceptances went out that same week.
Modern/Contemporary. I'm not sure how they do their waitlist, in terms of interviewing applicants, so I'd remain hopeful. I was told of a faculty/admissions meeting to discuss applicants at the beginning of next week, but I have no idea of specifics. I was also told by a POI that just under 30 applicants from 200 were interviewed so far.
