Okay, I just heard: I've been offically accepted into NYU, with full funding through the Maccracken fellowship (that page is slightly out-of-date, as I'm getting a bit more, but it's the closest I could find).
Why is no one home so I can squee at them?!
And yes, I'm sure you're all getting tired of the constant updates about this, but... dude!

Date: 2006-03-01 03:01 am (UTC)Have you accepted them yet, or are you waiting for other offers and playing hard to get?
no subject
Date: 2006-03-01 03:09 am (UTC)I'm still waiting to hear, I suppose; I haven't yet heard anything from UPenn, and though I know I got into Wisconsin, their funding is done on a separate schedule, and so I don't know anything about how I've done with that, though NYU wins about a million bonus points by simple virtue of being in, you know, New York and not a tiny city in Wisconsin.
At the moment I'm just in shock! I can't imagine making such a big decision; I keep thinking that six months ago I was sitting on a rock in Nevada and telling someone, "Yeah, I'm not really sure what I want to do. I guess I'll need to look up grad schools as soon as I get back to civilization" and now this!

Date: 2006-03-01 06:05 am (UTC)So, is NYU your first choice? Think you'll accept?
no subject
Date: 2006-03-01 07:00 am (UTC)I have no idea! I feel too overwhelmed to make any choice yet. But the more I think about it, the more appealing it sounds; I mean, if I intend to work in academia, I won't have much control over where I live for most of my life- I'll have to go to whatever university hires me. So the chance to live in New York for five or six years, regardless of anything else, is incredibly tempting.

no subject
Date: 2006-03-01 10:30 pm (UTC)No, I was just added as a maintainer myself a few hours ago, and I have no idea why. I'm not sure who the original maintainer is (or was).

no subject
Date: 2006-03-02 01:45 am (UTC)And I guess I don't mind, because it hardly looks like a high-maintenance community, but I can't help but think that if they'd just made a post about it, they'd have had some volunteers who wanted the community.
