Well, almost one week has passed (tomorrow will be a week) since I got the official funding offer from the MA program that's accepted me. I thought I would hear from more programs by the end of the day on Monday this week. I didn't, so I emailed them. I've heard back from two, and still need to hear back from two. I didn't email one progra...

Around the Block Again
I've come to acknowledge that I could possibly be rejected from all of the PhD programs to which I applied. I feel like everyone is hearing back except me and I don't know why that is. I am last. I'm not anyone's first choice or even middle choice... And maybe I'm no one's choice. Whatever I am to them, I wish they would just man u...
Hi all!I thought I should post about Sunday's interview (for an MA program). It wasn't really an interview in the conventional sense. My POI called and let me know that I've been admitted and that she's meeting with the Chair to discuss funding this week. She asked if I would accept their offer of, basically, full funding minus a coupl...
Last night, I got an email from my POI saying I'd be getting "good news" in an email today. Well, I got the email, and it turns out I've been shortlisted for their program and they'd like to interview me this weekend. The sad thing is, shortlist doesn't mean acceptance. The even sadder thing is that this is one of two programs I...
Apart from the waiting game, having all my applications submitted and all their materials accounted for feels very freeing. 
Anyone there with me?
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...
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...
