Also, I got an email from NYU saying that my "application remains under review" and then the usual holistic approach, careful consideration spiel. Is this a waitlist? Or just a pointless email to get my heart racing?
That makes me super hesitant to ever reach out to Spivey. Advising you to go to a school with intention to transfer is really horrible advice. I 2nd applying to UCI, they are splitter friendly. What about Fordham?
