Dual MLIS/Public History: How Many Programs Applied?

[annieca]

Hey all!

I'm looking to apply to dual MLIS and Public History programs mostly on the East Coast (with two in Indiana thrown in) and I was wondering: how many programs did you all apply for?

I have a list of my top 10 programs but I was thinking of narrowing that down to 7 before applying. I know I won't be able to afford to go to grad school without funding so that's why so many.

Anyone have any experience to share?

Hello annieca,

I'm jealous, I'd like to do History and MLIS but I couldn't find an online program for that, and I need one. I'm in a crazy club of one probably, I only applied to one program. Reason being for me it doesn't make a huge difference if I start in 2012 or 2013 and I have found the application process really time consuming! (I have preschoolers). You're a hero if you get 10 applications in!

If you take a look at the Fall 2012 thread it looks like most people apply to about 5 programs...

...and I just applied to San Jose State as well... their process was lovely and easy!
