So far still radio silence from them 🥲 really hoping to get in but who knows what the answer will be this late in the season.

I am also waiting. I saw on the admissions page of this website that people in previous years have complained that they ghost you and don’t give an answer until the last minute even for rejections. They may just be really disorganized.

Yeah that makes no sense that UMD would do that. To the person who posted about the admitted students day, did you go or did you hear about this through others?

has anyone heard from University of Maryland, Stony Brook or Penn State?

to the person admitted to the IFA, do you think all acceptances have been sent out?

@ZF1763 thank you for sharing. I am also contemporary. I will not give up yet then!

What's your field? Do you think they will send out rejections then too? I applied but was not interviewed so I guess I will probably be rejected...sucks...

I don't know that all schools even do interviews. When I had my information sessions with potential POIs only some mentioned interviews.

Congrats to the Princeton poster on the interview! anyone else get any interview requests yet?

Good luck to you!!!!

I heard this from the IFA. I did a terminal MA program at GW and only decided to do it because of the pandemic, if that did not happen I don’t think it is worth it to do a terminal MA because of the cost and there isn’t the same training for further academic careers/other paths unless you really don’t plan on doing a PhD program.

Where are people applying? how has the feedback been from professors people have talked to? I spoke to a Professor who said they will be taking more people this year than the program did over the past few years... hoping for a successful application cycle! good luck to all!

I disagree with the previous posters. I have seen many cases in recent years of curators with just MA degrees. I have been told by professors that PhDs are becoming less and less necessary if you have a lot of "real-world" experience. For MA's I see Hunter and Tufts as the best. Personally, I am going into a Ph.D. program, not because of my desire to be a curator (which I still do want) but because it is a personal goal of mine. My fields are feminist/queer contemporary 80-90s

Hi! I decided to re-apply to 3/4 schools I applied to last year plus 4 more schools. One professor from last year told me why I didn't get in last year and what I should improve in my application for this cycle. Others I made the mistake of not reaching out to last cycle and this year I have been more proactive in reaching out to professors and having longer exchanges with them.

Hi! I worked with a great professor at George Washington University who is a pioneer in the field https://corcoran.gwu.edu/mika-natif she is not only an amazing scholar but a super nice person too.
