American Studies NYU

[Yolanda54]

Hey everyone,

I've seen only one post on here on a reply from NYU and this person is wait-listed. I'm curious if anyone has heard back yet? Do they typically call or email you for an interview before you receive a letter saying you've been accepted?

Thank you,

Yolanda

PS I just got wait-listed for UC Santa Barbara :? and rejected from Northwestern .

I have been wondering the same thing. I also applied to NYU, but have heard nothing. I have been accepted by Michigan State and SUNY Buffalo. Still waiting on NYU, Brown, GWU, BU, Yale, Rutgers, etc.

Melancholy,

Wow, not bad! Are all of those American Studies PhD degrees? I applied to UNM's (Albuquerque) American Studies masters program, University of East London's Cultural Studies masters program, and the rest Sociology PhD programs.

Best of luck to you

Yolanda

Yes, for PhD's. I am very excited, but nervous to hear from the others, especially since I am seeing all the notices that others have received, but have not yet heard anything for American Studies except for the NYU wait list posting you mentioned.

Thank you for your kind words and good luck to you too!

No problem. Our good grad cafe people need it I just got my third response from University of Colorado, Boulder. This is my second rejection but I am still hopeful. If you don't mind me asking, what is your ethnicity. I don't know if I'm reading you right, but it seems like you may have an accent.

Again, I hope it's going well for you so far.

I am a native born American of ambiguous origins, but I have been told that I have a regional accent. Strange that it should translate through typing though. Interesting . Sorry to hear about your rejection, but I am sure that your other applications will turn out more positively. I am waiting myself. Still have not heard anything. It definitely helps to know that there are others experiencing the same thing.

Good luck to you!
