Hello everyone, I am a long time lurker but I just couldn't resist anymore. I am sitting on a waitlist for both of my top choice PhD programs (I have offers to several MA's but I am DYING for one of these to come through for me). Has anyone seen any movement on any waitlists? Does anyone know around when and if any movement will begin? How many people are usually put on a waitlist, and if any how many people on the list are offered a place in the program? Is it rude to wait until I get some sort of news from the PhD programs before responding to the other MA offers? Any thoughts appreciated, I don't want to suffer in silence anymore!

Hello All, Like someone else previously mentioned, I think that the forum will only fuel my obsessiveness with my applications rather than soothe it, but oh well! Might as well obsess with other people who are obsessing! I am interested in studying Modern Art (about 1860-1940) and Architecture. I am applying to 12 programs (in order of deadlines): UVA PhD Maryland PhD George Washington MA WashU PhD NYU IFA PhD UGA MA Delaware MA Emory PhD Florida MA Hunter MA Notre Dame MA CUNY PhD I know its all over the place but I got quite a few fee waivers for being a member of the National Name Exchange so I figured why not. I'm all done with my apps, and I am seriously considering applying to more since I now feel like I have no purpose / want to improve my chances of at least one acceptance but I think this may annoy my recommenders lol. Good luck to everyone this application season!
