Hi, I am new here. My subfield is Chinese art history.
This year I have applied for 6 programs and now 2 of them made me depressed. It seems that the situation is really hard. Chicago and Maryland, who have just rejected me, told me that there is a great increase of the applicants, and the competition is really fiece.
Now I plan to do something brave, to call the professors and make self-sales. I mean, to introduce myself to them and ask for more consideration. I really need your help about how the interview usually goes in art history. What questions they might ask?
Many thanks
