As someone who’s been more on the curatorial side of things without a concrete AH degree (my degrees are closely related), I think it just depends on the program itself, the profs taking students, and if they want someone who leans more academic with past projects already—I’ve had my fair share of rejections and I’m waiting on one more, but from my experience, it’s all related to timing (and I think a lot more programs are traditional than you think).

At the risk of jinxing myself, has anyone heard anything about UT Austin? I haven't seen a peep on the results board from MA or PhD applicants. It's seriously starting to freak me out. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if a few people have heard about interviews or who knows and I simply didn't get in.
