keep me posted. I am glad that you are considering it.

Ditto.

I was just wondering if anybody has heard about being rejected or waitlisted from NYU Singapore. I know there's still time until April 15th, but I haven't heard anything on my end.

Hey Bandar and krosenbe-


I'm thinking about flying out soon myself. Any news on when the two of you are visiting Singapore? I'm pretty sure I may try to go later this week or next.

Hope all is well!

To those who have been notified about their acceptance:
First, congratulations!
Second, what type of number appeared on the caller ID? Was it a foreign number, was it blocked, etc?

I'm thinking of heading out there in like two weeks. You guys want to plan a group trip?

Bandar and Rarebit,

Just got an email from someone in student services. She suggested coming in on the week of the 28th, I am sure you will be receiving a similar email soonish. I'll look into tickets tomorrow.

Was it a generic e-mail she sent? Or in response to something you wrote?

A group trip could be great - in a way, the other students in the class are as important as the location (especially when you think about them in terms of collaborators). We should at least try to have our trips overlap so that we can get some lunch, or a drink, or even try to sit in on a class, or hang out with current students together.

I've studied abroad before, but this is perhaps the hardest decision I have had to make...

Oh, Bandar, if you get any news from AFI let us know!

Bandar,

Her email was in response to my email.

Rarebit,

Where did you live abroad?

Bandar and Rarebit,
I hope that we have a fair amount of time to make our final decisions post trip. I would love some time to soak everything in before coming back to the states and without the pressure of making a big commitment while still abroad.

take care.

I studied in both Cairo and Athens (I spent a semester in each place).

I've studied in Germany (Munich) and in Spain (Valencia).

I'll be sure to keep you guys posted regarding AFI. I should find out either today or tomorrow whether or not I was accepted.

It's ironic/fateful that my 4 min silent film proposal application to Tisch in NYC was based on an event in Korean history - so in a way it seems fitting that I may end up in Singapore.


Bandar - which was your favorite place - Germany or Spain?

I would have to say Egypt holds my heart more than Greece.

I would have to say Spain. The culture, atmosphere, etc... it was just the most amazing experience ever...

Even if I get accepted into AFI, I will still be torn between NYU...

This is going to be a VERY VERY hard decision...

Where do you go to school now Dream? What major, etc?

I feel we should get to know one another since we will possibly be future classmates!

Y'alls I studied in Russia and China. For some odd reason I have always found myself in communist or post communist countries. Also figures that I was considered for the Singapore program, as most of my writing samples were about China.

I think there is a pattern going on here...

Seems like the people who were accepted have spent some time abroad.

Anybody think it's just a coincidence?

I actually haven't left Athens, ever. Which makes me both excited and terrified of studying abroad.

I'm very excited to know that the class is going to be very diverse!

I'm a first-generation Arab-American (my parents are Jordanian). I think NYU structured it this way.
