  1. I'll be at UNC Chapel Hill for the MA to PhD program! Definitely my school of choice (it was tied at the top with MIT, where I was wait-listed), although I did apply to 6 programs total.
  2. From what I've heard it's better to do an MA program that is more specific (Art History, instead of "Humanities") if you plan to continue onward to the PhD. You also have to consider that the cost is $53k and COLA in Chicago, for a one year program that isn't an Art History program. My friends who did the program left feeling very unsatisfied (they did a 2 year degree in 1 year) and like they had to fight for attention. I can only speak to their experiences though. I was rejected from the Art History PhD program at Chicago last year and accepted to the MAPH with a $25k scholarship. I consulted those who I knew had been in the program and ultimately turned it down because of what I had heard.
  3. The Chicago MAPH is a complete cash cow program. I know a few people from my undergrad university who did it, and thankfully their parents had the resources to foot the bill.
  4. I've been accepted to UNC. UNC has not announced funding and they said they won't be able to until the end of the month. So, it probably will be a while until anyone declines, FYI. No mention was made of the waitlist, but I think it would be okay to ask Dr. Verkerk about the status of your application at this point. Feel free to DM me if you want more details!
  5. They only accept 2-3 students per year into the PhD program so, like the other poster said, I wouldn't be surprised if people don't know about this site or don't post on it. I am guessing they probably already sent out acceptances.
  6. I came home to a letter saying I'm on the waitlist for Bryn Mawr! So I guess they are doing paper notifications this year for some things.
  7. long time lurker, finally made an account ~ applied for F17 to art history programs, focus on medieval Mediterranean architecture (accepted at UNC, waiting on 5 other programs) btw!
  8. From the results search it looks like Bryn Mawr sends out paper letters regardless of decision, without any prior notice! So it might take some people longer than others to hear back??
