Has anyone heard back? I know they said ~three weeks, but last year I heard back in three days and the wait is making me anxious.

same here, last year for NYCC I heard back within 12 hours, though I know I applied right before ticket sales so they were rushing to approve or deny people so that if you were denied you had time to try to buy tickets.

For c2e2 it took about a week.

bottom line is if you see my NYCC press twitter posts, yeah I am burning up the rug with my pacing

This is my first year applying. Hoping for the best and trying to be patient during the vetting (ahem) waiting period.

Fingers crossed for us all.

Sorry for the false hope.  I work in research as an ad agency.  I have clients who have panels at the con.

Even though I got it, I still prefer a VIP pass. :/

Last year, I was approved for my press badge in 12 days. It's now been 9 days so far, so I'm hoping I hear on Monday.

The Trade Pro badge fulfills my needs.  I don't really want to attend the entire convention.  I only want to go in and out at my leisure and see my clients' panels.  $40 is the right price to do that.  I still have a "meh" attitude towards NYCC compared to SDCC.

That being said, the Walking Dead event last year at Madison Square Garden that was concurrent to NYCC was amazing.

Yes for pro badges. I guess they didn't follow their 2 per institution rule because I know more than 2 people from my school got it.
