I contacted the Department's Admin Assistant on March 13 and they said decisions were made and the "system should be notifying you within the next few days." So......I'm hoping any day now we will all get an answer. killerbunny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeSweetRome Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Anyone have any advice regarding the NYU-IFA Masters program? Is it worth it? I was excited to be deferred to it from a PhD application, as it's my only acceptance, but the Internet really does not have kind things to say about it...

killerbunny Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 @sol.sheri, @Allegorica, and still no word from Tulane.

texasod Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Any Early Modernists out there who’ve decided where they’re going? I’m on the waitlist for several schools and trying to get a sense of where a spot might open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curatortobe Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Is anyone else still waiting to hear from Williams? I'm pretty pessimistic this late in the game but would still like to get a sense of where they might be in their process. Is there a specific date that accepted students (@TJGreenbergFried @rosehip) have to notify the program by before more rejections/waitlists will go out? @unanachronism you mentioned you were accepted to Williams pretty late - had that happened by now? I know I could email them about my status but too superstitious at the moment... Thanks!! cmbelli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I could email them about my status but too superstitious at the moment... Thanks!! I was on the waitlist at Williams and got in literally on April 15th (I attend there now). The accepted students days happened last week but I've heard that there might be another round of admits? There were like, 13 or 14 people who came, and the cohorts are generally 12ish. I can't say if its good or bad that you haven't heard anything but you might hear something late in the game. It seems like maybe they aren't vocally waitlisting people this year (what happened to me, was in early March I was waitlisted, I went to the accepted students days, and the whole time Marc was in communication with me about my status). I feel your superstition but if you email Marc Gotlieb he might give you some indication of your status. curatortobe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the department again, because I was worried I wouldn't hear back before needing to drop a deposit on one of the other schools. I finally received a decision email from the Director regarding their decision (sadly, didn't get in). If you don't hear within the day and are in a similar position with needing to accept or put deposits down elsewhere, I recommend contacting them. GOOD LUCK!!!

I contacted two people in the department this month but have received no word. Could you say whom you emailed? Yes, I'm hoping to reply to an offer this week for which I received an extension. I'm happy that you found closure! NEVERMIND. I just received a rejection by email. That wraps up this cycle! Woof.

m-artman Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Does anyone have any news on Delaware? It seems one person was sent a rejection and that there were a few admits in February, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has heard anything. I contacted the department, and I was notified that I am on the waitlist. So, if you were accepted and aren't going, please let them (and me!) know. unanachronism and roving99 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them yesterday and was told that while they have sent out acceptances, all other notifications will go out after April 15th. I find this a tad unethical, as most schools require you to accept financial packages by that date. I just accepted an offer at another school, but was curious to hear back since it was the only program to which I applied that failed to send any form of notification.

Leaning more towards Tufts because of more funding and what seems to be closer faculty-student relationships, since Hunter's cohort is much larger. Will PM you.
