I have a friend at Cal who told me Berkeley's prospective students visit was this last weekend. Not sure what this means re: waitlists, etc.

Thanks for responding, and you make a good point. In fact, my POI in the program made it a point to tell me that they fund all students the same as to not create tensions, etc. Oh well. It's certainly worth the daunting moving expenses!

Has anyone here ever been offered/asked for/demanded funding for relocation costs? I'd like to ask, but they've already been quite generous...

Yes, my POI at Yale told me there were 280 in art history alone this year. But, wait! I hadn't heard Harvard sent out acceptances...is this true? I saw one person was short-listed on Feb. 17th or so, but isn't that all anyone has heard?

Congratulations to the freshly anointed Princetonians!!

Hi jmb04, If you're still interested, Yale apparently received approx. 280 applications and they're admitting between 11-14. Official acceptances mailed at the end of last week. This is all I know.

Hey guys. The "holy shitter" was me. I feel like it can't be real, which is why I haven't posted details. It must be a joke... My hopes are still high for every art historian here! I know how terrible the waiting- the unknowing is- so here are some details: Email this morning from DGS to set up a time to talk on the phone, official acceptance letter has not yet arrived. Unlike one of the other Yale admits, I haven't heard from the professor I applied to work with. And of course no word on funding. I have an MA. Mainly I'm a modernist, but concentrate on Russian/Soviet art, theology, and critical theory. This is my first AH notification- was rejected by a cultural studies program two weeks ago. Good luck to all!

Oh yeah, and congratulations or whatever. (jk, of course)

Lol! "Shattered dreams!" I like your style jmb.

Sigh. 3 Northwestern admits today and my inbox remains empty. Not looking good...

Yes, please, jmb04! I can be in LA in 6hrs. I got my MA last year, so if things continue the way they've been going I'll have to hold down a "real" job until I can apply again.

So, who is the Northwestern admit?! Is it the person who was "shortlisted" a couple weeks ago (thomasjnh)? Whoever it is: Congratulations!! Is it too early to start drinking today?
