I've withdrawn. Good luck to all of you and may the rest of your cycles be awesome!
Oh, perfect. That's what I need NU's admissions office seeing- that I induced qualified candidates to withdraw. Thanks a lot, fivestar.

Best of luck to you and your... wife? Sorry, I forgot that part. Enjoy NYU.

What are the odds there will be any decisions today?

I'm guessing if not today, then the next wouldn't be until March 26th (since next week is their spring break and they usually do decisions on Wed, Thurs, or Fri).

So late!

Not feeling great about it because of the two rounds last week. I wouldn't discount next week because of spring break though, I am sure Admissions will still be working. I am freaking out as much as you are, though! I definitely feel your pain.

I do! Like a hawk!

I'm mostly nervous because I was offered a fellowship in addition to a scholarship I already have for another school. This requires me to let them know by April 1st if I accept it so they can let another student know if I back out. But NU will likely not tell me before then? Ah!
Any advice?

Might also be worth asking the other school for an extra week to decide. If you say you're waiting to hear from your dream school, but you'll be taking the fellowship if you're not admitted at NU, they may work with you. Can't hurt to ask right?

Spring break is two weeks, brotatos. (Well, this is the last year that it is. Next year we go to a 3-wk Xmas/1-wk spring like everyone else. We aren't happy.)

I have no info on whether the admissions office takes the whole time off, but thought you might want to know.

I think admissions is working through the entire break (but I could be wrong). I have an on-campus interview next week, and I see that they have other interviews scheduled for the following week. Though I suppose that doesn't mean they'll send out decisions...

In a similar boat. Have a few other schools with scholarships, but I just don't care. NU or bust! Come get my money NU!

Honestly, I don't mind waiting though. I'm not sure if I want a decision while adcom is wishing they were on break! Lol.

No worries I asked. They're working and will release decisions during break
