That's starting already? Yikes.

Also, congratulations! Does anyone want to claim it?

Hi, that was me -- just got a phone call from the department chair.

I was rejected from Brown today so this was nice compensation!

Best of luck to all of you!!

Congrats, sadsac! Would you happen to have any details on number of admits, expected date to hear back, etc.?

Hi cquin, thanks! I don't know anything about admissions numbers or dates but I was invited to an open house in March. I asked if this was going to be an interview process and was told no -- so I gather they aren't doing interviews this year, only offering admissions.

best of luck!

Congratulations on your acceptance!

Did they ask you to mail an official copy of your transcript prior to your acceptance? I thought they ask "finalists" to do so.

I was also accepted, and was the one to post the stats/info on the results board. Method was phone call.

15/500+ accepted; $23,622/yr for 5 years with no teaching duties; $1,000 one-time stipend for help relocating and setup; ~$5,000/yr(or semester?) for optional teaching (two 1-hour sections a semester, I think?) starting in year 3.

Also, visit weekend is close, on March 3rd/4th.

E-mails and official letters to come

15 out of 500+?!

Welp. I'm out. lol

(At this point, I think all I can do is laugh at rejections.)

Wow jprufrock, you're on a roll! Congrats to you and the other acceptees.

Wow jprufrock, you're on a roll! Congrats to you and the other acceptees.

Thank you. I'm really just reeling from all of this...

[cquin]

Congratulations jprufrock! I may kidnap you and ask you to reveal your secrets...

[pinkoats]

So, are we thinking that NYU is done calling, or might there be more admissions coming??

[Raputa]

Oh man--I haven't heard anything fro NYU yet....probably a bad sign! Congratulations to everyone who got in so far!

[lolopixie]

Congrats to both of you!

Based on the fact that the visiting weekend is fairly soon, I'd say the rest of us are out of luck.

Wow--congrats. That sounds like a really good package. I like how you have the option to teach for extra money.

Yeah, it does seem that way. Congrats to the lucky and talented few!

[hopefulwoolfian]

Sigh. So much for my first choice. I knew it was a long shot, but it hurts anyway.

[darjeelingtea16]

Looks like someone else got a call yesterday though. Maybe still a bit of hope? Maybe?

[lenz]

I'm waitlisted and invited to Open House next weekend.

No word on how many waitlisted but the email said it was "short".

[TheOtherJake]

News continues to trickle in! Exciting, exciting!

[readingredhead]

Ugh, NYU is the last program I'm waiting to hear back from -- 1 rejection and 4 (!) waitlists at present, so it would be nice to finish it off with an acceptance, but this makes it sound unlikely...although it seems strange that they haven't said anything at all.

They sent out acceptances and waitlists, and considering the open house is next week, I'm pretty sure it's implicit rejections at this point.

[readingredhead]

Now I'm just confused -- I just got off the phone with a lady at the NYU English department who said that no notifications about PhD applications had been sent out yet, and that I should hear back sometime next week? Even though of course people have heard back and been invited to the visiting day? Weird.
