Hi All...
Good luck as the waiting continues! I'm from NJ, a small farm town, so commuting into the city would not be an option...I'd have to find housing.
But, for those coming from out of the metropolitan area, good luck to you! I wish you the best and a crack at NYC which is fabulous for innumerable reasons.
I grew up in the area, so it's not as big of a deal, I contemplated applying to schools on the west coast, just for a change....but ended up processing applications locally.
Here's to waiting, and good news for all! For those from out of state/east coast area, PM if you have any questions, I've worked in the city and some of the fam lives there! NYC is easy to navigate and less intimidating after awhile than other big cities..
