I've yet to hear anything either. My hopes are definitely down lol but not entirely lost. Just trying to remind myself that the Met hosts what are probably the most competitive museums internships out there, and it's sort of a crapshoot with so many qualified applicants. 

Yeah I feel the same in that I'm holding out hope, but I think like a lot of international applicants it's getting hard  Still, not many people seem to have heard back, and I'm sure departments act independently. Hoping for the best for both of us!

Hey! Just wondered if anyone's heard back yet. I know a couple of people on the subreddit have, but I'm yet to hear anything and am acutely aware of it getting later and later into March ☹️

Oh gosh that would definitely stress me out as well!!! That sucks. COVID has really slowed down museums/grad schools/just opportunities all around. Don't give up hope yet, you never know - the wait is the hardest part. ? Plus it helps me so much to know everyone else is stuck in the waiting limbo as well, that way we can all commiserate together! 

So true, this wait is excruciating! Fingers crossed we'll hear back soon and it will be good news. Definitely - this would be so much worse if I was alone in the wait!

I totally feel you! I think I've applied to most of the spring/summer/fall internships for the last 2/3 years (sometimes skipping a season or two) and I've only once made it to a finalist round and no further, so I'm anticipating a very solid rejection come mid April per usual. I'm still anxiously hoping though...I really hope you hear good news, it sucks that they might be considering international students less this year! What a brutal time for museums all around

Oh no, that is so frustrating! I'm really hoping things work out for you this time round. This was my first time applying (the first time I knew these internships even existed & that I was eligible!), and with Covid on top it's very likely I'll be getting the dreaded rejection email. Sad though as I applied for a long-term graduate internship which are only open to people who've graduated within the last 12 months, so I won't be able to reapply which I'm super sad about. This year has really put a spanner in the works! Hoping for a miracle and we'll hear back with good news soon ?

No update to report, but my name has also been replaced with my email address. Everything else looks the same though! 

Ahh interesting! Everything else is the same for me too. The suspense is killing me, though I'm an international applicant so probably don't stand a great chance given the circumstances. Best of luck to you!

Hopping on to see if anyone's had any updates! Had a slight change on my application portal today - my name used to show up there, which has now changed to my email address. Not particularly helpful but I just wondered if anyone else has had the same? If anyone hears back please do let us know!
