So did everyone find out through snail mail last year? Or were they trying to log on to an admitted student site? If it was all mail (and received on the 1st), then the decisions have already been made.

I'm just trying to guess the liklihood that my beautiful purple envelope is sitting in some post office, ready to be delivered tomorrow around 12 pm.

Posted the first, not received.

^ I think someone said earlier that last year's admits reported the postmark date, so they didn't actually receive their letters until a couple days later. Here's to hoping the status checkers will get us the info faster!!!

[shanemahsa]

Were rejections, deferrals, and waitlists also sent out on December 1st last year? Or only acceptances? In other words, if my status checker reads "Decision" tomorrow, should I (cautiously) rejoice?

I checked dulcatis' thread to answer my own question. Apparently no one was rejected or waitlisted during the first week of December last year. So, if the status checkers do work and you get "Decision" or something similar, you're probably in.

OMGOMGOMG

I'm not ED tho so I'm prolly not hearing tomorrow... right?

No, you could hear tomorrow.

BOOOH!

Well then in that case we'll have to obsess over the status checker.

I really want to get nervous and excited like the rest of you, but I also don't want to gear up for news tomorrow if it's not going to happen. And unfortunately I will be on a plane - to visit Duke! - so there will be a horrifying 5 hour period when I can't get online. I hope the person sitting next to me won't mind when I start to show withdrawal symptoms...

I wish I could cuddle with my Duke acceptance to ease my worries, but sadly, Duke just doesn't hold a candle to NYU for me. I love this city way too much. =/

Agree, but stoked for starrydreamz! I actually got into duke last year, but decided to reapply and hopefully end up at CLS/NYU. NYC is where I belong!

I'm yet to get on a flight that actually has this--and I almost always fly united.

It baffles me how people could leave this city. Here's hoping we both get to make the decision between the Upper West Side and the Village!

Haha I did leave, and I can barely stand it for more than a day. Still applied to NYU though lol

I might be coming out there depending on how my cycle goes (wink wink NYU), but since I've never lived there before I can't really say how I feel about NYC.

Well, one way is by virtue of not getting accepted into CLS or NYU.

Edit: Oh and I'd totally take the Upper West Side, even if NYU and CLS were to switch locations. I like the hustle and bustle, but not enough to be completely immersed in it 24/7. I'd rather be a subway ride away.

I can't stand the thought of living in nyc, and that's most likely where I will end up. I can easily see how someone would want to leave that city. The people are insufferable.

Ouch. NYers aren't perfect, but you could do a lot worse. I miss the city like whoa. It's the island of misfit toys; you can be as weird as you want there and it's celebrated.

If it would pain you so much to go to NYU Law and be *stuck* in the village, I will gladly take your seat. thanks.

[eliekedourie]

Neither of these two camps make any sense. I'm a native of Brooklyn and current resident of Brooklyn and while it's great in NY, it's also just another city. Many residents are great and many residents are shitty. The only reason I can think of someone NEEDING to live in NY is if they're gay and from a shitty small town where they lacked any sort of meaningful community. Otherwise...ease back on the throttle. It's just a place to live. That said, those who think city residents are "insufferable" sound spectacularly ignorant.

why the eff are you applying to nyc schools?

[starrydreamz3]

I just like to listen to the crazy people rant on the subways. =D

Show me another city that has commuters quite as entertaining and maybe I'll make a change.

New York City, where the women are pretty and they all have jobs.

Because I want the best education I can get, and I believe NYC schools will probably be this for me.
