Anyone have any advice re NYU? What do you think of the program? (I was rejected from Iowa, JHU, and Brown, and still waiting on two schools.)

So happy!

I'm on the wait list & rejected by everywhere else... was anyone accepted and thinking of not going? If this isn't the year for me then it isn't the year for me but god I'd love to get in.

To the poster asking about Columbia, I was accepted there with funding, and also Michener and UC Irvine, was waitlisted at IWW, rejected at Brown and still waiting to hear from one more.

Signed with a major lit agent yesterday, rejected from yet another program today (with no note!) These programs clearly need to reconsider their criteria. You can teach fancy prose, but you can't teach appeal. 0a/1w/6r/6p

First Acceptance. Telling my amazing undergrad professors I got in was the highpoint of my day! 1a/3r/0w/4p

With funding!!!

Got a voicemail (I was at work) indicating my acceptance, followed by an email. YAY. 7a/2w/3r/3p

Question for those who received their acceptance through the website- do we have to acknowledge/confirm receipt of the acceptance letter (email grad admissions?) in any way? I'm waiting on other responses before I put down my deposit.

Letter postmarked 3/5. Anybody accepted to the fiction program w/ an embarrassment of riches thinking about enrolling elsewhere and feel comfortable enough to post about it on this forum? : )

After my super strange failed phone call yesterday, I got an email informing me "ahead of the results" that I got in. I truly could not be more in shock right now. First acceptance. I really think the longer manuscript length helped me A Lot.

To all those that have applied to the NYU program, I just called and they said that they are still not done with their acceptances, aka we still have hope! 3a/0w/6r/4p
