It was cancelled, unfortunately. Skype interviews are being conducted today.

Hey, I'm curious how you found out.. did you email?

Thank you !! @venusofwillendork

Thanks so much!

Thanks for letting me know! Completely unrelated question, but does anyone know what “you have been recommended to the graduate school for admission to our program” mean? Does that mean I’m in or not yet?

Just saw that. Congrats to whoever you are! Still waiting on Cornell ..

Has anyone heard from Cornell or Brown?

Hey @renforall, I am. Feel free to PM me ?

Hi all, Thought I might start a new thread on this so we can broadly discuss our preferred research methodologies and approaches and why we often gravitate to X methodology for Y research. Do you gravitate towards traditional art historical methods or those used outside of our field?

Omg don’t apologize for your accomplishments. Way to go!

Congrats to the Northwestern admit! Who is your poi/ what is your area of interest?

congratulations to the Berkeley admit(s)! @renforall same !! My poi only reached out after reviewing my app... but radio silence since.. ?

Hey that was me. Got an invitation from the DGS for recruitment weekend (March 12-14) which includes interviews with faculty and dinner with current students. The deadline to accept is Feb 12 so my hunch is that they will send a second round of invitations if not enough people accept. I am not 100% sure though, this is just a guess. @coolperson54321 congrats on Yale!! @renforall same here was really hoping to get Yale .. ah well it’s not meant to be I guess!

Thanks for sharing! Best of luck!

Anyone want to claim the Yale interview? Poi?

On a roll ? @renforall

You’re right. Spoke to some current students and they had their interviews end of Jan and offers around first 2 weeks of Feb. (last year and the year before).

Congrats @renforall!!

Yes, after the scripted question the poi who interviewed me went off script and asked questions about my writing sample, my SoP, and my opinions on certain debates in my field. I work on modern and contemporary art in the global south broadly. I take it as a good sign if your poi asked questions beyond script/ specifically about your research interests! I think we will be notified of decisions in two weeks. Also, great point about openness! I think with the openness you need to strike a balance between knowing a lot about your specific line of research while being open to change it and build on it (obviously goes without saying but sometimes you may forget to actually stress this in an interview). Anyways, fingers crossed for the both of us!

Thanks for adding these! Were they based on your Northwestern interview? I got asked the same questions! I agree with stressing preparation. I also got asked how my thoughts have changed from when I submitted my applications especially with certain ideas in the SoP or the writing sample. Self-reflexivity is key here so make sure you elaborate on how some of your ideas changed or how you may think different about certain terms/ concepts/ methods now after having some time to reflect.

Thanks so much for this list @venusofwillendork ! Looks like the Berkeley interviews might be sent out in bulk as well? There are 3 posted on the results page.

Still pretty early in the process. I think February will be more active

They’re all skype or phone call. You won’t have less of a chance to interview by being abroad.

This is correct. Emory, like Northwestern and WashU, are in bulk as well.

I’m not 100% sure but that was the impression I got when talking to my poi. Maybe they are changing things this year?
