Congrats on CCS!! ?
CU is my AM, so I’m suuuuuperrr anxious to hear from them, lol. I would be over the moon if I had the opportunity to go back! But if I go to SAIC I’ll have a studio, which is a huge incentive for me because I wouldn’t have that elsewhere. One of my undergrad degrees is in studio art— It seems like most applicants come from art history backgrounds, though?? Dunno. Still haven’t heard anything from Bard— It’s the not knowing either way that’s tough! ?

Congrats!!!!! Were you interviewed? 
 
This is great that they are telling people ~ let's hope everyone hears soon :^) 

I just got accepted. It was sent at noon. Still haven't processed it but I'm very excited!

Thank you so much! I also heard from Bard last Friday same process as w @Calvin4w and @Dottie!!
CCS is my dream program so I saved my spot asap. I’m currently waiting on my financial aid though.
CU sucks for taking this long but Its really nice you got an offer at SAIC already. 
 
Fingers crossed for you on whatever may come!!! ???

Yes I feel you! To be more transparent: I'm already based in NYC, so the more conventional MA Art History program at Hunter appeals to me most right now, in terms of cost/life change to quality ratio, but that deadline is also rapidly approaching on April 1. Of the other three acceptances I received, seriously considering UChicago's oft-derided MAPH program based on funding I received (31k) and faculty (prob best fit of all programs I applied to), but weighing the obvious drawbacks and additional living expenses of moving short-term. Fortunately, my building has already agreed to sublet my apartment for a year, so at least I could hold onto some Manhattan real estate at pandemic pricing for the MAPH year, hahaha.. Regardless, please update us if you get some response from Columbia before the rest of us, it's been agonizing wondering if the lack of response means probable rejection/waitlist or the GSAS dean has just been slow to send emails...I feel that I'm a great candidate for that program, but it could just go either way in a competitive year. I'll keep you all posted as well. 

Still waiting......... *sigh* ?

Yeah, I think I’m going to call/email if I don’t hear anything by mid-week. I just received a special scholarship from another program — essentially a full-ride, which is a really big deal for me at this particular time in my life — but it’s contingent on an answer sooner than I thought, so I can’t wait much longer to hear from other programs.

Still waiting......... *sigh* ?

Heard from Bard yesterday, same process as w @Calvin4w
 
And I'm also deciding between Goldsmiths and Bard! Have you been to Goldsmiths' campus? I've never been to either campus ! 

Haha thank you, I’m not ready to go back to those winters having spent the past year in California after 4 years of undergrad in Chicago. 
 
I received an automated email saying there was an update on my application portal, I also received an email later during the day from the administrative assistant notifying me

MA in Modern & Contemporary Art History and an MA in Arts Administration

I haven't heard anything about MODA interviews. Regarding admission decisions, I don't think anyone will hear anything until emails are sent March 15th. I could be wrong, but historically CU has stuck pretty hard to that March 15th -17th notification date for the MA program. Also, I don't think art history PhD admission stuff is a good gauge for the MA program timeline, but again, I could be wrong.
Has anyone else heard from MODA??
(And good luck to you, too! ? ? )
