in the next 4 months, I will take GRE, shooting at 700 (v) and 5.5 (Wr), retake TOFEL, do all the paperwork for application, and write my MA thesis! Oh god I plan to study Japanese too... How can I possibly do all of these things in such a short period of time?! Anyone has a similar situation with me? We should form a team~

Thanks!

I learned that many has got the information from BU. Does BU inform the AD/Offer by email and send the REJ by Post Service?

+1 I got an AD of MA program from University of Oregon, but not satisfied with it. Since I am only a BA. Maybe I would apply for more MAs next time.

Thanks a lot. I do have contacted with professors before deadlines. Considering all your suggestions, I decide to give up my calling-plan and be patient. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I got this news from my PhD friends in Chicago. He asked the professor and got this news. I haven't got any formal rejections yet.

Frankly, I am also very worried that such a call may annoy them. Now I've got an AD of UOregon, MA program. I am afraid that I do not know much about this institution, the USNEWS rank of it, 100+ disappointed my family (since now I am studying in the top1 university in my country). Back to the point? Isn't any one who have try a unscheduled call?

Thanks a lot! I am sorry that maybe I have not make clear my strategy. I plan to call the professors in the institutions which have not given me any news about the result. I plan to make a self-introduction to them and try to win more consideration. Actually some of my friends majored in science have successfully conducted this strategy and got good news. But I do not know whether such a crazy behavior would also work in art history, a humanity field. I don't want to spoil anything, but I really want to do something and win me a chance!

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
