waitingwaitingum Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 @alh, what makes you say that Yale should be reporting any day now?
nix Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 @rjsmith1031 I haven't heard an "official" response from either NYU or UChicago. BUT both schools already notified their accepted students, so I'm just assuming that I didn't make the cut! With that said, I was wait-listed at Minnesota. Congrats on your acceptance! It is such a great program. What is your top choice? What do you study? A very reputable face-to-face source told me that NYU isn't even close to finalizing things. I wouldn't necessarily cross them off your list yet.
genesisy Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I crossed NYU off my list too...who is this reputable source?
waitingwaitingum Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 A very reputable face-to-face source told me that NYU isn't even close to finalizing things. I wouldn't necessarily cross them off your list yet. That may be true in the case of a wait list, but I'm going this week for recruitment activities...all of the accepted cohort has, in fact, been notified. I just don't want anybody to get their hopes up on false premises. But like I said, it's probably true that a wait list hasn't been finalized yet.
alh Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 @waitingwaiting: I don't have any insider info, but, based on past results, they should report sometime between now and the end of the month. Who knows when it'll happen? @nix: thanks for the info! that's definitely encouraging!
nix Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I crossed NYU off my list too...who is this reputable source? A professor at NYU. Where I also study. This is not to lead you astray with "false premises" - I'm just serving up information as more or less received. Edited February 6, 2012 by nix
waitingwaitingum Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 A professor at NYU. Where I also study. This is not to lead you astray with "false premises" - I'm just serving up information as more or less received. No problem with that at all: I'm just corroborating and creating a more complete picture for those in the dark with no contacts at all. I didn't mean to insinuate you were lying, btw, by using the phrase "false premises"; perhaps "incomplete details" would have been better. omahairish 1

Who knows when it'll happen? @nix: thanks for the info! that's definitely encouraging! Forgot to respond to this, sorry. Seriously! Who knows. NYU really subverted their typical notification timeline this year. There's really no telling. I hope you hear something soon!
supernova1 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) smh.....This is just my opinion, of course, but some of us should really work on being more considerate and humble. Good luck to everybody!! Edited February 7, 2012 by supernova1 omahairish, nenanubes and fanon_fanatic 3
TripWillis Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Did anyone in here apply to/get into SUNY, Buffalo?
egc232 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Forgot to respond to this, sorry. Seriously! Who knows. NYU really subverted their typical notification timeline this year. There's really no telling. I hope you hear something soon! Do you have any idea the size of the cohort NYU is aiming for this year? Is there anything else that you know? This was my top choice program and I'm having a hard time letting go!
waitingwaitingum Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Do you have any idea the size of the cohort NYU is aiming for this year? Is there anything else that you know? This was my top choice program and I'm having a hard time letting go! To my knowledge, the cohort size is 6 (one person deferred). Don't give up hope, though... I know nothing about the wait list. If you have any other questions, feel free to message me. Wishing you the best!
genesisy Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I guess nix was right. I just got an email from NYU. They said they're in the process of finalizing their selections and want to Skype chat with me...uh oh.
supernova1 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 That is great news genesisy. Good luck with the interview!
genesisy Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Does anyone have any advice for interviews? This will be my first. What kinds of questions will the ad com ask?
nix Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Does anyone have any advice for interviews? This will be my first. What kinds of questions will the ad com ask? Did your contact give you a time estimate? My person said 10 minutes which I assume isn't enought time to destroy me with "gotcha" questions. But definitely review your SoP if you're like me and pitched different angles of your interest areas to different programs. Look at their work again. Review your CV. SMILE (if you can). My current program x-ed a candidate after an interview because they said (among other things) that she didn't seem that interested and also seemed ... very sour. Don't be sour (you know that already!). There's a list of the most common interview questions floating around these forums somewhere. That might hold actual advice that you can actually use ...
waitingwaitingum Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Came here today to check on USC and Yale only to find this. I've responded to numerous messages the past several days regarding NYU, and I am withdrawing myself from the speculation game. Best of luck to everybody who now has interviews! I'm slightly confused, and that just goes to show that none of us can predict this crazy, crazy process. All we can do is stay positive throughout. alh and stablecamel 1 1
genesisy Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Speaking of USC and Yale...does anyone have any inklings about when we might hear back from either of them? Or how about Brown?
wintergirl Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 At this point I'm hoping we DON'T hear from USC this week. My cup of (assumed) rejections runneth over already. For what it's worth, I have Michigan's American Culture program also notifying this week last year. Anyone else apply there?
suzzzanna Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 For what it's worth, I have Michigan's American Culture program also notifying this week last year. Anyone else apply there? I did. Eager to hear back, too.
NoYork Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 For any Purdue American Study admittees - are you going to the visitation event on Feb. 23rd and 24th? I'm planning to go and am wondering if anyone else was making similar plans.
WendyDarling Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I noticed a new acceptance from USC showed up on the results board. Anyone want to claim it?
Clou12 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah, who posted about USC? Can someone claim it please? Deets, deets!
Gene Parmesan Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 For any Purdue American Study admittees - are you going to the visitation event on Feb. 23rd and 24th? I'm planning to go and am wondering if anyone else was making similar plans. I'll be there
