Question about NYU Stern

Hello, it's been 3 weeks since I interviewed at Stern (they mentioned a decision could take up to 3 weeks) and I haven't heard back yet. The deadlines for the other schools I've been admitted are coming up. Should I email Stern to ask them about the decision? What would you recommend that I do? Thanks!!

Question about Columbia

I was waitlisted in R2 on 3/20/24, confirmed my interest via form but haven’t received any updates since nor have I been put in touch with a waitlist officer which I have seen mentioned in a few other comments.
Do I have to reach out to be put in touch with one or do I just need to sit tight? Did anyone who was a waitlist R2 get a waitlist officer? Thanks!

Question about Columbia

If we are waitlisted (R1) for the traditional 2-year program, could we ask admissions to be considered for the J-term at this stage? Would that increase our chances?

I was waitlisted in December after applying R1. Was invited to remain in the waitlist in March. I have received a call from my waitlist officer since then to ask me typical Qs (why Columbia, why MBA etc), seemed like they just wanted to know if I was still interested.

Notes:

I've been awarded a scholarship and a monthly allowance from the central bank in my home country. Now, I'm torn between LA, with its easy accessibility and great weather, and Pittsburgh. I'm still awaiting interview results after being waitlisted at UCLA. I would also love to learn about internship opportunities and the advantages of each school.
