  1. Thank you! This was really helpful. I am terrified but frankly, a Phd application it is...Even it must wait another year...I can only hope like the rest of us it won't be awful timing.
  2. Thank you for your detailed response, you have given me much to consider. No, it won't hurt your chances to apply and be rejected, so long as you take the process seriously. Many people apply across multiple years before they get into the right fit program Would it hurt my application if I start a second MA in the US? I mean..It would look strange on a CV I suppose? My fear is getting weak recommendation letters this year but I also fear pushing my Phd another year or two away and losing time. I love my MA program but truly feel I got everything I can out of it. There are applications due as late as January 15, and there may be better time flexibility this year for virtual visits than other years. Oh, I'm surprised, what programs are still open until January 15th? Very good point about there being an application boom next year! I guess it will be competitive no matter what? Thank you!
  3. Hello everyone, I am currently very conflicted about my options. I am finishing my masters in Art History and definitely want to pursue a PhD (hard choice it was). I am passionate about my research but due to personal reasons I lost touch with my faculty this year and doubt I’d receive full support from them in applying. My school is good but it is outside of the US and I don’t have recommendations from top people in the field. Should I apply this year or work another year in making connections so I have good recommendations? Would it hurt my future admission chances if I apply to top schools and get rejected? I was also suggested starting another MA (Williams college) in the US in order to raise my chances to get into a top school. What do you think is a good strategy? Thank you
