moushkey Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Alright, I figured I'd kick us off - who's applying this cycle and where? I'm undecided about whether I'll work the field or do a PhD afterwards, but I have an MA in Art History, so I'm applying to places that specifically have a strong emphasis on architecture or visual culture materials, have a thesis or MRP, and are in a city with strong cultural ties. My list, in order of interest, is: 1. Joint MI + MMST at U of T 2. Film + Photo preservation and collection management at Ryerson 3. Dual MAS/MLIS at UBC 4. McGill MiST - Project MettaSutta 1
MettaSutta Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Checking in! Hope to apply within the next two weeks.

And throughout this whole process I have gone back and forth between the two -- which means that hopefully either one is a good decision. MettaSutta 1
MettaSutta Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 For those of you who applied to Rutgers, how long did it take to hear back?
HopeNoelle Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I've just been accepted to the University of Alabama!

ErinD Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Has anyone applied to/heard back from Maryland-College Park?

I also really liked that the program is synchronous-- I think it will really benefit me based on my learning styles. And I've heard that the youth services electives are really good! I'm leaning more toward academic or special libraries, but I definitely want to take a youth services course.

My application status changed yesterday from "under departmental/program review" to "under graduate school review." I'm hoping that's good, but I don't know for sure. Haven't heard anything else from them. MettaSutta 1

I know that in some iSchool departments, they contact the applicant if they recommend the applicant to the graduate school. I have know clue if the MLIS program does. That being said, I'm not sure why it would go to the graduate school unless a recommendation by the department was made? I'm definitely overthinking everything at this point!! MettaSutta 1

No, I'm in the exact same boat! I also had that thought, but I don't want to assume anything. I actually emailed them on Friday to ask whether the status change meant that a decision was forthcoming, but they didn't respond. This info from the grad school website implies that we won't hear anything until after the grad school review. MettaSutta 1
DJL Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Ugh! I'm checking my email/portal nonstop just in case anything updates (going crazy!!) Did you email the graduate school or the MLIS Program? MettaSutta 1
