Short Term and Long Term Goals:

Folks, I am really struggling with the word count. Are all of you strictly following the word count or using it to be in the range. I am over by almost 150 at this point for this essay

Hi Bozo!

What was said in the info session is that usually adcom doesnt count but my take is that if your essay is within 10% limit, its ok.

Yeah I guess 10% margin is a good number to go with. Thanks!

I am opting for washington sq. weeknights. Sorry no input on that.

Actually what I've been told is a bit different. According to my conversation with adcom, the essay is an opportunity for applicants to express themselves and articulate their goals, but at the same time essays are an excercise in being able to follow directions. If they say 150 words then they want no more than 150 words. One example they gave is the 12-pt font requirement. They don't want to see 11.75-pt font or 11.5-pt font, because they asked for 12-pt font. Why would you do otherwise?

While some latitude on the (very low) word limit would be great, personally I'd do everything I can to stay within the guidelines provided. Just my two cents...

So I sent in my application on April 29th and just received my password to the application status webpage (it's May 6th). This is about 5 - 10 days earlier than I expected. Did anyone else get their password yet?

Tenore,

I also just got my password to the application status email. If it only were an admission...what a great day it would have been.

I held to the same guideline. I think +/- 10% is pretty standard for app essays. Go too much over and you’ll seem overly verbose, or worse –defiant.

A lot of people say visiting a campus totally changes their feeling of preference. Maybe you should visit both to get more insight?

As for me -I’m applying to Washington Square. It’s an easy subway ride for me. Westchester is not really an option.

I agree!!

We'll still probably have to wait 1 - 2 months or more to get a result... but we can begin compulsive checking much, much sooner

I submitted on April 8 but haven't received my password yet

Hello everyone
I applied on March 15 and nothing yet....

Talking to adcom they mentioned that status check links/passwords won't be provided until after the deadline (May 15th)...

Anyone else submit their apps?

Looks like the folks at adcome are wrong... the passwords are being sent out already!

Applied last week. Received my login yesterday.

hey everyone. just got the pw
