Guest lefilsdhomme Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 As November approaches, I feel the time is right for one of these here. Who is applying? Where? To study what? To work with whom? How's your German? crossedfingerscrossedeyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaway Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm currently skipping German to catch up on my Groys (and, ok, ended up procrastinating on GradCafe anyway) and you've successfully guilt tripped me D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lefilsdhomme Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Coordinating images pages for six different versions of the same writing sample is driving me up the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat1 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Coordinating images pages for six different versions of the same writing sample is driving me up the wall. I feel you. Figuring out how to shrink the image pages for my multiple writing samples so that they would upload nearly sent me to an institution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel better, the sense of relief lasted about 24 hours and now I'm in Super Anxiety Waiting Mode for the next three (four?) months. I almost wish I'd dragged the apps out longer.

I almost wish I'd dragged the apps out longer. I feel like I'm dragging these out. I'll read my documents one hour and think they're complete, then sit and make sentence structure or semantic changes for another two hours... I'm just ready to start receiving my flood of acceptance letters in February . In an aside rant, UCLA why is your SOP approximately 400 words!? That's outrageous.

I'm just ready to start receiving my flood of acceptance letters in February . In an aside rant, UCLA why is your SOP approximately 400 words!? That's outrageous. I wish there was some kind of option to go into a medically induced coma until I get my first acceptance. I made up fake deadlines for myself to keep from quintuple guessing everything. Once I had completed a draft of an SoP or writing sample and gotten approval from two faculty mentors, I allowed myself three days to finalize it and be done. then no more tweaking or re-reading. I also used fake application deadlines so I didn't have to keep track of nine individual dates. I think it helped...at least a little. And 400 words?!???!!??? My smallest was 500 and I almost decided against applying there because of it. I agree: outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lefilsdhomme Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Is anyone in the inter-sphere applying to Stanford's art history program? I successfully submitted my application a few days ago, but when I log into my account to view their "check list" it says that my application status is incomplete and now no one in administration will pick up the phone... blarg.

Have all your writers submitted your LORs? The application will read "Incomplete" until EVERYTHING is done, not just the stuff on your end. And that includes them entering any transcripts or official GRE scores (even if you've sent them and they've been sitting there for weeks, they have to be matched to your submitted app). I'm not applying to Stanford, so I don't know what is required, but I already had the same freak out on another program's DGS, and as my writers submit their letters, everything is showing up as "Complete."

I have a feeling that they may not have processed my GRE score report yet. That would explain things, because otherwise everything is complete (all LORs were miraculously on time and everything possible was attached in the online app). Thanks for the opinion it eases my mine a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auvers-sur-oise Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Where are you logging in? When I try to get back to application, which I submitted on Friday, it says: Access Denied You may submit only one application for admission to graduate study per academic year.

auvers-sur-oise Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I took a screenshot of the whole thing and then promptly forgot about it because TGIF etc. I just tracked it down - thank you! I'm incomplete, too. No official GRE scores, but they're in - just need to be matched to my app. Safety in incomplete numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lefilsdhomme Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Hey y'all, I finally finished these applications that I've been working on for six months! Now we play the waiting game... Edit: I guess it was a little rude not to wish the rest of you all good luck. Good luck!

runaway Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bumping this thread because I am already going crazy playing the waiting game. How is everyone doing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Also crazy. I'm trying to schedule every minute of my day so that I don't have time to think about how crazy. I created a syllabus for the language workbooks I'm trying to get through, with assignments and deadlines. If we can just make it through the next three and a half weeks, we'll hear something...right?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Since the art history forums are so quiet, shall we assume that the five or so of us are the only applicants and that we'll have our pick of programs?!?!!! runaway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
