I think I'm starting to drive my family and friends a little crazy with my "When will I know? Why haven't I been contacted yet?" obsession. As a second-timer, you'd think that waiting it out just gets easier, but it seems to be about the same. I am just too curious; I'm dying to know where I'll get in and where I won't, and...

Around the Block Again
Today I received what I assume is my first (unofficial) rejection. Emory's welcome weekend is in just a few short days (Feb. 2-4) and I wasn't invited. I think this means that I didn't get into the program. That's surprising because my POI and I were an excellent fit and when we spoke in October we got along really well. My POI also told m...
Apart from the waiting game, having all my applications submitted and all their materials accounted for feels very freeing. 
Anyone there with me?

I'm officially in the waiting game for all schools. I've done well to keep in touch with my POIs and I imagine I'll still keep in touch in the coming months as I await decisions. I am hoping for acceptances to be sent out from my top 5 schools around mid-February (and that I am one of the chosen), but based on survey data available on the Grad...
... to officially sit back and play the waiting game.I have 3 applications left to submit. One is due the 15th, and I'll be submitting it today. I would have submitted it this past weekend but I had either food poisoning or a stomach virus, so I was pretty much out of commission. The second one is due on the 31st, but I'll submit that this week s...
So, I typed up a nice blog about the recent 4 applications I've done, and it disappeared!Basically, each one of the applications I've submitted this week are having issues with technical difficulties so I have to wait on tech support or with admissions confusion, so I'm waiting for the admissions staff to get back to me.I hope everyone had...
I started a new job last Wednesday, so between preparing to leave my old job and starting my new job, I have done nothing with applications in about 10 days. I'm not comfortable with that, but I haven't had time. Further adding to my distraction despair is that two of my letter writers are great with timing and have uploaded nearly all of my lette...
I don't think I did an adequate job of introducing myself in my first entry, other than to say that this is my second application season and I'm applying to about 11 programs. I have my B.A. in Art History from UCLA. I was fortunate enough to have numerous research opportunities there. I can read, translate, and speak Italian, French, and Spanish, and I'm...
Hi everyone! This is my second application season. I'm applying to PhD programs in Art History. Last year I made a few mistakes. I limited the amount of schools I applied to (5 - all Ivies - yeah right), didn't take a prep course for the GRE, got in contact with POIs WAY too late (January), and submitted an informative but totally bland SOP. This sea...
