Actually starting January 2021. Received email to check website. As I had other offers, I had contacted NYU two weeks earlier and they expedited my application.

Actually applied for January 21 start, but not available on drop down menu.

Accepted for Dual Genre concentration in Fiction and Creative Nonfiction to begin 1/21. Application submitted 8/31/20. Received phone call from director of the program.

Received an email to check application status in the portal. Very cold form letter from Dean of Grad School.

Was #4, then #3, then #2 on waitlist within a few weeks. Was told they weren't going to the list anymore due to COVID. Then got a call last week! Still surprised but it's the right time to just go.

Phase I acceptance notification. Never heard back on Phase II, so I assume I was rejected.

Head of Dept was in regular contact w/ me about my status, but ultimately rejected on 4/10.

Allegedly had some "issues" with system, so rejections came back late.

Notified April 15 (deadline) of funding decision.

No communication before April 15 deadline

After being waitlisted in April. 0a/0w/7r/0p

Accepted into Columbia off of the waitlist. Emailed by director Victor LaValle.

not getting officially rejected from Hunter until 5/8 is some real bullpuckey

Accepted off the waitlist this morning. This is so crazy, but I'm unsure if I'll be able to go until I hear about funding. Still so stoked. This was a dream.
