History of Art - MA/PhD 2011??

I got an unofficial e-mail from the Graduate Program Director.
-
Many of them send out acceptances well before rejections.
-
Thanks. That is certainly a concern!
-
I know there were a couple other acceptances posted on the results page. I am curious if anyone else here has decided on attending the Art & Religion program at GTU?

I'm in it for the money...umm...wait.... As an undergrad is painting I actually had very little interest in Art History. I only got really interested my last semester. For My MFA, I went to a school that had a joint masters program in art history. As I went through my studies I got more deeply interested in art history to the point that I wanted to get a PhD. But, I'd been in school for a long time and with a terminal degree in hand I started teaching. I ended up first at a small liberal arts college and now at a regional state university. At both institutions I have taught both studio and art history. I have found that many of the questions I ask dovetail with art history pursuits and that I enjoy the art history classes. But, with only a masters I will never get a tenure track art history job. If that is what I want to do I need the PhD. But, for me the biggest issue is that it will help me intellectually with the questions I am asking.

I finally heard from Temple. They admitted me but no funding. So, it looks like I will be heading to Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley to work on their Art & Religion program. I think it is a good fit for me. Though I have to admit that it is disappointing not to have more admits in pure Art History programs. The frustrating part is that I've asked a couple of schools what would have made my application stronger or if there were weaknesses and the answer was that it is very strong application and there were no weaknesses. Temple even implied that it is likely that I would have gotten funding if I had visited the school. Frustrating...but as i said I do think GTU is a good fit for me...now just to iron out all the financial difficulties of moving a family to the East Bay.

I didn't see your second message. It arrived at 2:21pm today but was sent at 11:41am on the 13th.
-
I hope you get something soon! This is just so late in the game that it is pretty nerve racking. April 15 is coming up quickly.
-
After ages of not hearing from Temple I got an e-mail this afternoon asking for more information and asking if I can visit the campus. But, when I went to reply I noticed that the e-mail was sent on March 13. It was lost in cyberspace for 15 days. How frustrating!
-
Congrats!

It looks like they may never have received my transcripts. It would have been nice if they told me that when I contacted them about another issue a month ago. Very frustrating.
-
That didn't help. It says, " Incomplete Items Outstanding" but they told me previously that they had my application. So no help whatsoever.
-
When you say TU portal are you talking about through banner? My application doesn't even show up there now. ETA: Oops. I see the portal now...how did I miss that!?! No information there that I can see.

The last of the Bryn Mawr decisions will be sent out on Monday. I am assuming they are all rejections at this point but I don't know for sure.
-
grrr...still no word from Temple, therefore I'm assuming a rejection, but they are on break this week so that means more waiting. I finally broke down and e-mailed them only to receive an automated message saying they were gone for the week...at least its Friday.
