I received a reject from NYU and acceptance from GW within a couple days at the beginning of the month and now I’m just twiddling my thumbs. I thought they were all gonna start coming in at once!
I believe this warrants a diversity statement. A diversity statement need not be limited to URM status, but can be used to inform admission officers about unique, and extraordinary circumstances. I think your situation falls under that standard.
Yep out of where I've heard back from so far my top choices are NYU and Berkeley, especially since I'm interested in public interest. As a native Californian Berkeley holds some extra sway though, even if it's slightly lower in the rankings :)
Congratulations, everyone! Has anyone heard from Columbia/NYU? Was wondering if anyone who was accepted would be willing to share their stats with me. Thanks!
