I received an email and a letter from them on the 15th. They may still be working on figuring out the wait-list, I really don't know. Good luck!

snooze - where did you get into so far?

It sure looks that way! I am really excited about it.

Sure - I don't mind sharing. There are a few differences in my application. First of all I applied to far fewer schools the first round. Second, I spent the past year learning another language and taking extra classes at a local University. Third, last round I was pretty cocky and sent in as a writing sample a paper that I wrote for a literature class, thinking that it was the best example of my writing and touched upon the topics I am interested in researching in Art History -- not considering that it didn't allow the committee to see how I actually wrote about visual material. This time I sent in a new essay, more related to what I want to do. Of course, I revised all my materials this round, but grades, GRE scores, most of my letters of rec. were all the same, as was my intended research topic. Hope this helps someone out there who just got rejected. Try again!

Hi, I've applied for an AH PhD and have been accepted so far at the University of Chicago (heard Feb 1st) and Northwestern (Feb. 15th). Very excited but still waiting to hear from Princeton, Harvard and Cornell - has anyone heard anything from them? If answers have gone out and I haven't yet heard, I can take that as a no and start figuring out what moving to Chicago means for my life... Would appreciate any info! Thanks and good luck to all!

BTW - to all those rejected ones out there -- last year I got in nowhere and tried again and have a wait-list and two acceptances + $$. So, don't give up! ;-)
