I don't know, I'm afraid. May be they were busy with CAA or something. Or may be they told whomever they've accepted not to make it public. I had received a rebuke by "a member of faculty" privately on here... Go figure.

Don't worry about Columbia. It's a hellhole.

You can wait until the 15th of April and nobody forces you to make an earlier decision. However, if are already accepted in two schools, one of which is your first choice, there is no reason to wait. This way you will give other people a chance that have been waitlisted.

I would like to add that decisions on which candidates in what field are being accepted can have many, many reasons. One being, hypothetically speaking, that the professors in one field have been taking on many students in recent years, and others not so many, and that it might be their turn to supervise somebody. This doesn't necessary reflect any broader policy or judgment on the state of Art History. That can be usually gauged by things such as who is teaching, who is being hired, etc. The best programs will have to, and generally do, aim for balance. And that's how it should be.

Well put!

Well. I never had any bad intentions. And I'm not responsible for other people not being able NOT to ask certain questions. Also, if this kind of information ( what category of scholars has been accepted for example ) is basically freely floating within the department, I consider it "public". It's not like us graduate students have no contact to other people in the world, especially other art historians. The public sphere is a murky concept because it is murky in reality. If anyone is offended, don't come here. It's like those people complaining that facebook is encroaching on their privacy... Just don't use it?!

In this case, "modernist" refers to anything after 1900.

They usually send out an email. Should be arriving this, or possibly next week. From what I hear, there are no modernists in the incoming class. So everybody else has a good chance?!

I'm sitting at the source. Eleven is the magic number.

U of C has made its decisions. Emails probably going out this or next week. Accepted students day likely to be first week of March... Good luck!
