Hi! I actually tried to read through this book as a way to sort of "prep myself" for grad school and I just want you to know that you're not alone in having a hard time with it!! I had also taken an art history methods course as an undergrad, but nothing from that class was as dense as what is in this book. Is there a certain theory in it that is giving you a particular challenge? For me it takes a long time to wrap my head around anything dealing with semiotics. Sorry that I couldn't be more help, but be patient with yourself!

Hi there! I also applied to Case (but for AH + museum studies), so I did receive tuition remission plus a stipend. I can speak a little bit about UNC Chapel Hill as well, I did a full-on prospective student visit there before covid hit. I'm not super sure about judging its overall prestige, but I think the faculty are all pretty incredible, and you have the opportunity to take courses from Duke as well. The professor I was most interested in was Dr. Tatiana String and she was incredibly kind and even seemed really excited in the prospect of getting to work with me. However, my biggest warning about UNC is that you will probably not get a dime of funding from them as an MA student. During the visit, it was stressed many times that you must be "entrepreneurial" in funding yourself. I liked the program and the location, but at the end of the day I picked a place that was giving me full funding and a nice stipend - the University of Kansas.

For anyone needing to study for German, I just bought this book! It's been out of print so even the used copies are a little pricey, but the format seems very helpful and there were several reviewers who passed language exams with it. Hope this can help someone! https://www.amazon.com/German-Reading-Programmed-Approach-Undergraduate/dp/0133540197/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

It's Case Western in Cleveland! I'm in the process of setting up skype calls with currents students and professors to learn as much as I can! But if anyone knows Cleveland well please feel free to pm me!

Hi there! Congratulations on your acceptance! Yes, I will be at the open house in March! I'm super excited, I think they are my top choice! Feel free to PM me if you wanna discuss more!

Just received emails of acceptance from Wisconsin-Madison and Case Western! (both MA). My POIs are Nancy Marshall and Andrea Rager

Congratulations on your UNC acceptance! I was also accepted had a skype interview about a week ago with the grad committee, it went well but was intimidating for me not gonna lie. I'm interested in working with Dr. String
