Ditto, although I didn't get/never heard of the dog reference.</p>

82

<p>just an FYI, I was purusing other college threads on this sight, and by far, NYU had the most people wondering and worrying about not getting anything in a timely fashion...and its not just the volume of applicants either</p>

<p>early is fine, but you shouldn't be late for people you aren't accepting, it is just rude</p>

<p>the dog is her kid.</p>

84

<p>I know, i just didn't get/never heard of anyone calling their kid a dog. sound kind of demeaning.</p>

85

<p>It's just a phrase, I guess one that has gone out of fashion.</p>

<p>Ellockonyu, Citygirlsmom and Calmom,</p>

<p>First, I'll note my experience: S's first choice was NYU/Tisch but his rejection letter arrived on Monday, with the postmark Thurs. March 29. WHile it did take a century to travel from NYC to upstate NY, the university met its obligation to notify before April 1. </p>

<p>I recognized Citygirlsmom's post could have provided some aid-and-comfort to those disappointed by rejections, and she absolutely has the right to express herself without being hassled by Ellockonyu.</p>

<p>For Ellockonyu, I hope you learn along your journey how to be sensitive to<br>
others who don't sit as pretty as you do at this moment. Before you type a reply to me, understand that I don't care what you say about me.</p>

<p>I just really, really want you to think about what I'm saying. Before you run someone off a board, and defend a school you feel proud of, realize that not everybody on this particular thread feels as GREAT about NYU as you do today, for rational or irrational reasons.</p>

<p>Calmom is just her excellent, straight-talking voice, always appreciated as a reality check. </p>

<p>Our son is disappointed but not in mourning, since he's gained acceptance to another film school that he finds tremendously exciting, pending news on their financials. He got into another college that treated him with great kindness and let him choose a different major when the film school was full. Citygirlsmom, another way to view that is: if he hadn't had all this "wait time" for what ultimately turned out to be a rejection from NYU, he wouldn't have had the good news from elsewhere and the chance to build up enthusiasm over it, which actually cushioned him on Monday when the NYU letter arrived. So, rather than rude, these things have a way of working themselves out in various circumstances. </p>

<p>There's never a good way or time to hear bad news. Best idea is to just console others for their feelings, and let it go at that. The heart has its own reasons. </p>

<p>Every single person who applied to NYU wanted to get in. They did not, and there's a mourning period. Some may regroup this year at other places, where education is just as worthy and in most cases, sticker costs are less and finaid more generous. Others may employ a multi-year strategy to reposition themselves to the place they hoped an NYU acceptance would have allowed them to be RIGHT NOW. If you are there "right now", Ellockonyu, then just count your blessings and let it be while others talk.</p>

<p>rejected on 4/3, but live goes on. Good luck everyone else. And ye, the school met all its obligations so the only person I can blame for the outcome is myself.</p>

88

<p>Hey, BShadow88, I wouldn't even "blame" yourself. A lot of these outcomes are no-fault. </p>

<p>When I get rejected from a paper application for a competitive job, I just imagine mine all lined up with l0 of equal merit, and some coffee-addled person with their eyes crossed saying, "They're all so good, how will I ever choose from among them."</p>

<p>I actually think there are many days like that in the offices of schools that receive "over 34,000 applications for a freshman class of 4,000" as NYU wrote.</p>

<p>How could it be otherwise?</p>

<p>So keep on keepin' on, because if you lost this battle you just might win a different war. (would love a new version of that expression without the war imagery)</p>

89

<p>i got my acceptance letter today. </p>

<p>aid is decent as well.</p>

90

<p>Called NYU and asked when I'll recieve the email. The guy said it'll be sent today!</p>

<p>Hey paying3 you can pay my college costs too if you like. Sounds like you would make a great funeral director---what with all your advise about mouring LOL. I must tell you that mouring and/or whining about a rejection is simply pathetic. Enough Said</p>
