NYU definetely yes if you haven't received any news from them yet. They replied me when I asked on March, 4th "At this time all admit and waitlist offers have gone out."
I can confirm that NYU is still making decisions -- we should hear from them in the next couple weeks. Sorry to not be specific, but that's the info I have 😕
I inquired a couple days ago and they said that my application was still under review and that the admissions comittee was still meeting -- I guess it can only mean that they are ranking applications and sending rejections as soon as they don't make the daily cutoff. If you haven't heard bad news yet I guess it increases chance of hearing good ones each day...
Besides that, amenities and weather also count. After all, those are inputs to your research production function (not to mention mental health and overall happiness)
Anyone else wondering what's happening with UC Berkeley results this year? In the last couple years they seemed to send a mix of acceptances/rejections in an interval of 3 days, this year there has been a wave earlier on the month and some rolling acceptances...
