On the one hand, I obviously want to know... but on the other, whatever happens is still going to happen either way and I don't want to be rude... Unsure, but erring on the side of caution (for now). Expand I've done it and everyone (POIs and graduate coordinators) were extremely nice and understanding of my anxiety/need to know. So I don't think anyone thinks it's rude to ask. It was also very useful to me, I received a rejection way earlier than I would have otherwise, and also an acceptance a couple days earlier than what was posted in the portal.
epm8642 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Glad to know that Penn results have all been finalized. I can stop thinking about it and finally commit to another school! N0rd 1

janvaneyck Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Does anyone know how waitlists really work? If you're on the waitlist, would a school tell you, or would they wait to see if a spot opens up for you and the offer admission? Very confused, very anxious to hear back

enby_qrs Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 Just got off the phone with a POI from Tufts University who told me I've been accepted with a substantial amount of funding! What are everyone's thoughts on Tuft's MA program?

What are everyone's thoughts on Tuft's MA program? Expand Ir's a great program in my opinion! I am not sure if I got into the program yet, but I will be pretty conflicted if I do. I got into Hunter and my research lines up closely with my POI there, but the same goes for my POI at Tufts. NYC would be great for museum work (and finding an internship that doesn't pay $0) and the tuition is very affordable compared to other MA programs, except Tufts can give great funding. I also am wondering what people think about Tufts compared to other Art History MA programs, particularly Hunter and Williams. Edited March 5, 2019 by Photomontage

What are everyone's thoughts on Tuft's MA program? Expand My undergrad advisor thinks really highly of Tufts and I've read elsewhere that it's a very well-respected program. If I get in, I probably won't be attending because I recently found out my POI is leaving after this year, so there won't be anyone on staff to teach/advise students in my area of interest. If she were staying, it would be my first choice.
Iris Che Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Also applied to Tufts and Hunter, no email yet (and the portal has not been updated) Anyone know if the acceptance will all be sent out this week? Edited March 6, 2019 by Iris Che

Expand Not sure when the acceptances will be sent out, but you should expect a phone call from Tufts
Harper Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Has anyone heard from Williams aside from the 3 acceptances in mid-Feb? I'm not very hopeful about being accepted at this point but I'm wondering if they've sent waitlist notifications yet. jealous.tomato 1

Generous with funding, top notch faculty, and because there's no PhD program they allocate a lot of attention and resources to MA students. I really like it here. enby_qrs 1

serendipity17 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Seems like a good time to remind everyone that if you've made your decisions (congrats!!!) then please reach out to those schools that you have been accepted to and will not be attending to let them know many of us are on waitlists and really appreciate it janvaneyck, Harper and Kamelima 2 1
