While this is somewhat true, I think we need to remember that the field is RAPIDLY changing. More and more people are being hired for tenure track positions who did not attend the Ivies/Berkeley//Chicago/Etc. I am currently at a university that is certainly not in the top tier (as in probably not top ten) but I can name a number of our PhD students who have held CASVA, Met, and Getty fellowships. Condivi is right in saying that the competition is fierce, but the age of tenure track positions only being given to the old Harvard alumni is gone.

Hi - did anyone else who applied to the Rutgers PhD get a strange email about fellowships? Or hear anything for that matter?

Hi - I was accepted to CUNY and am finishing my MA this semester.

Hi Hi - I was the CUNY admit - I received an email from Prof. Koussser (who is not who I applied to work with FYI). Sorry to be weird, but I don't want to publicly broadcast a lot of info - feel free to DM me if you have questions!
