I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but I went to a US institution and studied in the UK for a semester. The transcript from the UK came with a key showing grade equivalents typical US universities and that was fine! Best

Hello! I was in the same boat as you. I winged most of my classes abroad and my undergrad did not count it towards my overall GPA. I went to a small NESCAC school and and my study abroad was at a top UK university. I'm not sure how it would affect your application at the very top schools but I did fine considering the grades I got (just completed my MA and going to start my PhD in the fall). I think the abroad transcript is the least important part of your application as long as you took some interesting classes. Hope that helps! I wouldn't worry about it. Best

I know the main people and the field in general...I just wanted to have some other input if I missed anyone.

Thanks!

As the new application season starts up in a couple months I am dwindling down my schools and would like some advice. I have been looking at schools with scholars who have an interest in Late Antique and Byzantine art (preferably early to mid). Scholars that deal with the Medieval East would also be worth looking into. I have already asked around for scholars in various places but I bet some of you have knowledge on current people in this field since there has been a lot of turnover recently with new faculty members. Does anyone have suggestions or know of some scholars in this area that are not on the verge of retirement? Thank you!

ICMA website and the Search Results Byzantine Studies Association of North America site has a pretty good list! Other schools like IU (where I'm currently studying), Case Western, Toronto, WUSTL, etc. have pretty good programs and professors.
