Received a 30% waiver on tuition

Submitted application 8/28/23. Interview invitation sent out 10/2/23.

late acceptance but my first choice program!

I had an interview in March, which involved writing a 300 word essay afterward and sending it back within 24 hours. I heard nothing for weeks, so I followed up twice and was told they were sending offers to full-time students that week and would send to part-time students after that. I had to make decisions on my other offers (Brooklyn College and Hunter College) by mid-April, so hearing back in May is way too late. I assume I was on some waitlist but they didn't tell me? It took them 6 weeks to give me a decision after my interview with two follow ups in between. It feels a bit rude to have so little communication from them when I had to jump through so many hoops (and pay a significant application fee).

Notified they try and keep their numbers of students under 50 and only bring in around 10 per admission cycle.

Interviewed 05/02/2023 and received an offer this morning!

So shocked that I got into this program! I know I have good grades but this program is so competitive, and I didn't get into all of the schools I applied to. For future applicants: the day before I received an acceptance email, I went onto ACORN and noticed that there was a little "invited" in orange text next to my degree registration status. The next day, I checked the SGS portal (the one you use to check your application status) and it had an update. A few hours later I got the email notifying me that there was a change. Sharing these minor details to try to demystify this process! I know how desperate I was for any nuggets of information. I accepted the offer on April 1st -- so excited to start this program in the fall!

Interviewed March 8th

This was for the MEd course-based program
