Saw an NYU accept on results board but I still haven't heard anything...getting anxious

I applied to Bard, Hunter, NYU, BU, UPenn and Yale (East Asian studies). Just finished the interview with Bard! Good luck to everyone!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone is considering applying to/has applied to NYU's programs? I reached out to the admissions office and was told that if I don't get accepted to their PhD program, my application will NOT be considered for the MA. And so I will need to apply for both MA and PhD to be considered for both. I am rather confused and lost: applying to both programs feels weird (and expensive) but also I want to up my chances of getting into NYU. What should I do? Is this normal? Any advice on this will be so appreciated!

Hello everyone, As I am preparing for this application season, I'm hoping to get some more advice on where and how the best to keep up with the latest scholarship. Apart from reading papers/books of POIs, going on the art bulletin, jstor etc., what resources are helpful for keeping up with new papers and/or conferences? My intended subfield would be modern chinese/japanese art if that matters. Sorry if this is naive question but would really appreciate any suggestions!

@stpirans_sapphire Hi! Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and sharing your experiences! I really appreciate all the help❤️

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some advice on whether I should apply to PhD programs this coming fall. I am currently finishing my last year of undergrad (taking a gap year) and my goal is to get a PhD in modern/contemporary Japanese art eventually. However, it seems that most top phd programs only take folks that already have an MA. So is applying for PhD programs just going to be a waste of application fees for me, and that I should only apply for MAs? I am writing a thesis on a contemporary Japanese artist, fluent in Japanese and Chinese, and have some internship experiences at museums, if these matter. Thank you in advance and best of luck to people that are waiting for admission results now!
