They actually just emailed emailed me my letter (and it came in the mail on the same day too coincidentally). If you send a nice email, I'm sure they'll oblige. Thank you so much! Just emailed them.

There was an acceptance on the Feb. 23rd, and then another one on March 8th. Usually substantially more acceptances than that are posted on the boards, so I suspect more news is coming.

Same here. I pretty much have made my decision and I'm already excited to start but I feel like I need to wait for my last two programs before committing.

Yeah, I feel this way also--like, there is always some small chance that X school will give me a better offer in a better location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCrickets Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Second year applicants: How did you go about asking your professors/whoever to write letters for you again? Were you able to use the same one from the previous year through Interfolio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you able to use the same one from the previous year through Interfolio? I had one re:used rec (from pre applying to my current masters). Just ask. Also, maybe have them re-upload them to interfolio? (If they wrote them fast they might take another look... ). Also, some of the programs only accept rec letters via their online systems, so they're likely going to have to upload a few themselves. If you feel shame about not getting in: don't. These programs are harder to get into than Harvard Law. Give it another shot. Work on your application. Apply to more schools. It will work out. Also, what's up with NYU? Why haven't I been rejected yet (or heard anything yet)? Bah. Also, hurry up Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my ignorance as I don't really know how waitlists work, but if someone turns down a funded offer does the program then take that same offer and give it to a waitlister? I know NYU has only a handful of those fellowships/work options but you never know, right? Edited March 11, 2016 by chamsee22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know NYU has only a handful of those fellowships/work options but you never know, right? They don't order the waitlist. However, I sent an email and they said I probably should take one of my other offers because getting full funding was "highly unlikely." Makes sense given that they only have a few fully funded spots--in fact, some of the teaching positions seem to be half tuition and a small stipend. Which isn't great considering how expensive tuition is. I'm just going to take my name off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you curious about what kind of applicant gets one of those precious few fully funded offers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they must not give out very many of those as none of them are posted on the results page. What's worse: they don't have any teaching assistantships. They only pay 5k per class (like you're an adjunct) and don't cover tuition. Seems like the program is mostly geared toward making a profit at the expense of students.

JeremyCrickets Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 A program I applied to but haven't heard back from yet just sent me an email confirming the date and time of my Fall 2016 registration appointment. As in when I can start registering for classes. Should I take this as a good sign? The program hasn't notified anyone yet, so I'm going to go ahead and believe that everyone got the same email. Still crossing my fingers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this would've been brought up by now if everyone got the email. I guess it's still possible that they sent it out as a mistake?

The family I did have in TX just relocated bc of a job transfer so the news isn't as devastating as it would've been otherwise. Are you vegan?!
