I would recommend sending a follow up email. I've had to do that a couple of times, and my POIs immediately responded to the follow up. In one case, it was a well-renowned professor from a prestigious University, and we ended up speaking on the phone for almost 40 minutes. I appreciate your response! She answered me a couple of days ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdisc_Scholar Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Are you interested in obtaining a fully funded Ph.D. in the Humanities with an emphasis on African American/Africana Studies? Are you looking for graduate training that emphasizes public scholarship, community outreach, collections-based research, and digital humanities? The African American Public Humanities Initiative (AAPHI) provides fully funded graduate fellowships for Ph.D students in History, English, and Art History in a five-year, 12month, cohort-based program. http://www.afampublichumanities.udel.edu/ - DM me for more info.

Yeahhh, none of us are hearing back for this cycle until, like, March and April. Many programs haven't even had their application deadlines pass yet.

lucrezia Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I just applied to a number of schools as well! I am focusing on Women in the Italian Renaissance. I applied to University of Michigan, University of Virginia, Northwestern, Yale, NYU, Syracuse University, Williams College, Johns Hopkins, and Penn State.

DigitalHubris Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm still in the thick of submitting applications. My proposed research is on artworks that visualize, model, and simulate the Anthropocene online and on broadly digital platforms from the 1960's onward. I'm applying to MIT, Harvard, CUNY, UNC Chapel Hill, and UC Santa Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean if you go under results (look above where people post when they have heard back), someone posted that he/she/they are having an interview with them.

serendipity17 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is it possible it wasn't a formal interview but one of those casual phone conversations with a POI? I wouldn't call it an interview/post it on the results page but I could see how someone could get that confused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHE/Nelson seems really fascinating, but there's no faculty member in the art history department I could make a compelling case for. And I'm not exactly in a position to drop a thousand dollars on application fees, so I'm trying to be strategic with where I submit my materials. Best of luck with Berkeley and your other apps!

Ouch! Out of curiosity I was looking at some of the top departments used on this list. I forgot how many retirements and deaths (sadly) there were since this list was made. I wonder how these might impact the department rankings. Brown got tiny. Mary Sheriff is no longer with us at Chapel Hill. Alpers and Clark retired from Berkeley. Fried retired at JHU. Steven Levine retired at Bryn Mawyr, just t name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think it's possible to rank Art History programs in the same way that you can rank, say business, law or medical schools. The sample sizes are too small and their are too many variables at play. Like for example... MIT is probably the "top" program if you were to go by placement and award stats alone, but it's a tiny program with an extremely limited faculty and accepts only one or two students a year. For the majority of AH applicants, applying there is probably not even an option. As someone in the field, just going off of what schools are producing fellowship winners and successful candidates on the job market I would say that it seems like the "top" programs right now are (in no particular order) IFA, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Penn, Chicago, Princeton, Berkeley and Stanford. Obviously people from other schools have success and get jobs and fellowships, but in general people from these schools seem to come out on top.

ial Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hi everyone! Does anybody know if interviews are usual during the application process for art history programs? If so, which schools are more likely to interview their top applicants? Since this information is not usually available on their websites, I thought it would be interesting to know...

However, some POIs like to have a conversation with their top applicants. ial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
