  1. I got an admission from a university but got waitlisted for financial aid (the admission email indicated that more information will be available sometime in March). And I also received an invitation to the prospective student welcome event, which is coming up. The problems are the events are on Friday instead of weekend so I'll have to miss a day of work, the university is in a different state so I have to fly over, and there is another prospective student welcome event on the same day, and it's local so I can travel more easily. There may be potential reimbursement but not confirmed. I am conflicted because of the aforementioned reasons, but I am also afraid that the university might think I'm not interested in them and will prioritize other students if I don't attend. If anyone has any idea or had a similar experience and share them, I would greatly appreciate.
  2. I'd second this question. Congrats to the WashU admits!
  3. Hi all! Another Fall 2020 applicant for PhD ? I also share interests in critical race theory and visual culture. Right now, I am finishing up applications for 12/15 deadline, and my confidence is slowly disappearing as I review my materials. Anyway, let's hope for the best!
  4. I've been experiencing technical issues - more specifically, failing to log in because application websites do not recognize my username. These errors seem to be resolved in a day or two without me reaching out to their help centers, but it is frustrating because I start to worry about losing all the application progress. It is not just one school but multiple, and now I wonder if it's because I move from a library to another, or a cafe to another to work on the applications. Anyway, it's not a super serious problem but a tiny rant on the night of Black Friday. Anyone else having similar issues?
  5. Anyone waiting for the MuSe 12-month internships? I assume the museum will start contacting applicants in March.
  6. In general, if you are interested in Northern Renaissance, then German would be helpful. If Southern Renaissance, then Italian. I know a lot of phd programs require 3 language, mostly French, German, and another language that is appropriate for your area of study. For MA, it's mostly 2 languages - German and French. Sometimes schools waive one with Italian or Spanish, but not all. But this is just what I've heard, and I am sure it varies from programs to programs.
  7. I got an email from not POI but a director of graduate studies in the department saying that she would like to "touch base" with me about my application. I'm so confused... I confirmed with the office that all materials are received immediately after the deadline, so it cannot be that. If it is a real interview, then what would she ask? She is not my POI, so I also cannot ask her about her research.
  8. What are you more interested in - art business or museum studies? I do not know too much about Christie's Edu, but I know a similar MA program from Sotheby's Institute, and it for sure had more strength in art business and Asian art market studies. They are "not very academic" partially because they are 12-month program ...is what I heard from someone else. I am also an applicant this year, so I cannot really give you anything else ;_; Good luck!
  9. Thank you for sharing! Actually I got an admission a few hours after I posted the question O_o What a coincidence haha
  10. Has anyone received or had an interview with Hunter College? I wonder if the interview is necessary or if the decision is made without one.
  11. I haven't received anything either. 7 programs, and 2 of them seem to have sent the first round of acceptances out. HOPEFULLY I still have some chances. I will try to relax until the next week, since schools have said that decisions will be made between mid-March to early April.
  12. I guess the first wave of acceptance has been made for Williams and Tufts MA. I am freaking ouuuuut
  13. I totally feel you. I've also applied to MA programs and check the emails and gradcafe daily... It seems that many schools with late December~January deadlines announce their MA admissions in March, so all I can do is waiting patiently *sob*
  14. I am also freaking out. Fun fact: I just submitted my last application yesterday and shouldn't be concerned because all the schools that I've applied won't send out anything until March. But I still worry about it every second, overanalyze all the emails or whatnot that I receive, and imagine the worst situation. I should calm down and distract myself...
  15. I know I am just being paranoid at this point, but POIs that I have exchanged a few emails stopped replying. OHMYGOD it's been a week since they stopped (probably because there's nothing more that they want to know/get from me) and I am just waiting in my room sweating nervously and checking my inbox every so often. Waiting game is difficult... ;_;
  16. ME! I am applying to 6 MA programs - 5 in the US, and 1 in the UK. I have two applications to go (both have deadlines around the first week of February so I'm trying to finish up by this week). SO NERVOUS! I have weak GPA but strong resume...which does not sound like a good thing (sob) Most of the programs say the announcement will be in March or April, so I will just have to wait, wait, wait. I wonder if anyone else is still filling out the applications like I do. Anyway, good luck, everyone!
  17. Hi all, I'm in the process (almost at the end!) of the application, and one professor forwarded me an email about SIU. I have not heard of their program, so I don't know what to do. If it is a decent program, I might prepare an application since their deadline is on Feb 15. It will be a last-minute application, though, which slightly concerns me... Any thoughts?
