    SSRC IDRF 2019

    Just discovered this year's thread - transcript requests should be sent sometime this week, right?
  3. my two cents - GPA matters a lot, and high GREs won't make up for a mediocre GPA. even with 800v 790m 6.0 aw, i got MA acceptances w/o funding.
  4. ah, i'm still waiting on uchicago....nothing via snail mail/email...were notifications sent out twice - once in early march and this week? according to the results page from last year, it seems like MAPH acceptances with half tuition funding were sent emails while those without funding were notified only via postal service? i'm also curious if MAPHs are at an advantage when reapplying for PhD?
  5. i havent received anything from michigan either...i didnt expect too much when i saw the posts on the results page about interviews in Feb and another post about being a shortlist. it seems like they sent out notifications via email last year sometime during the 2nd week of march? i'm starting to think no news is bad news?
  6. Hi all, I recently discovered this forum and was so surprised there isn't a History of Art MA/PhD topic for 2011 - so I figured I'd post one - where is everyone?! I'm aiming to apply to both terminal MAs and PhDs in (contemporary) east asian this year and was hoping for some insight regarding admission, apps and my chances. I graduated in 2008 - BA, major in art history and studio from an ivy league with a not-so-great cumulative GPA...3.3, major gpa around 3.6 but with an honors thesis and a pretty clear idea as to what I'd like to pursue as a specialty in grad school. I just recently took the GRE and got V700 m800 w6.0. I'm fluent in the language most relevant to my main research interest but I'd need to start from scratch for any other. The issue is...frankly I'm afraid my app isn't strong enough to gain admission to a top phd program because of my unimpressive academic record. also i realize i'd be going up against a lot of candidates with MAs under their belt... Is GPA really "make or break"? If I were to maybe take the GRE again and raise my score by at least 50 points would that make up for it at all? And also, seeing that most schools only have one, two at most professors specializing in asian art, is it that much more competitive? For terminal MAs, I'm looking into NYU, Columbia, Tufts, SOAS...but I'm sure GPA again would matter a lot for a top MA program...should I be begging my boss for my job back....................... Would much appreciate your insight!
