kaykay12 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just jumped on chat, but no one over there understood my art feelings! We should set up art history pow wow times. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaway Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Same! It was weird seeing so many unfamiliar faces. If anyone has an idea for where we could host an art-history focused chat, let's do it! ETA: Thanks to whomever posted about Princeton. March 15?! That's like a jillion years away! I guess, hypothetically, good news would come sooner... Edited January 17, 2013 by runaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat1 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Can't we start a private chat on the regular board and just add all of us to it? I've never actually used that so I don't know if that's possible...I got on yesterday but non-art people were talking about non-art things and I was frightened. kunstgeschichtedude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaway Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 in case people are around like they were last night, I found a place for us to chat: http://zippychat.com/room/xzlsh I'll be hanging out there while I do my reading! kunstgeschichtedude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lefilsdhomme Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 ... no one over there understood my art feelings! This has been the story of so much of my life...

BuddingScholar Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is that too much paranoia? Do you think ADComs are reading these posts here? I wonder if, even here, we ought to write beautifully. I know, I know, I am going insane. asdf123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know, I am going insane. My alma mater knows of the grad cafe - but Im unsure if anyone checks it. I know some of the grad students do, though.

anonymousbequest Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Daily application update to ponder: UCSB's POIs has begun notifying successful applicants and nominating for fellowships. While this seems early, they also seem to send their acceptances really late. (I have personal connections to the program but would prefer not to say more about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lefilsdhomme Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I really doubt adcomms are checking in on us. I also have a sneaking suspicion that professors have an infinite number of better things to do than lurk in the shadows of the internet trying to match our cleaver avitars to our areas of interest. (but if they did mine would be a dead giveaway...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 From one formerly freaked out applicant to the next generation of anxious applicants, don't stress too much! January is the roughest month.

kaykay12 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So, I got a letter today from one of the masters programs I'm applying to and got SO excited. It was short lived though, all the letter said was that they need my transcript (even though I sent them 2 copies). * Sigh * At least it means things are moving along....right?!

If nothing else it means someone is looking at your app, so things are happening. kunstgeschichtedude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artlover Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello fellow Art Historians, I have a question: Do any of your applications still read "awaiting materials" by your GRE test scores? Two of my applications still have this on my application status page, however I sent my GRE scores well before the application deadline and another school I sent the scores to on the same date has confirmed that they have received my scores. I guess a further question I have is, do you think they are still matching scores to applications and still have to manually change my status from "awaiting materials" or should I have reason to panic and freak out? I wanted to wait at least a couple of weeks before I harassed the departments over this as I am sure they are swamped with the aprox 300 they receive, and before I email/call them this week I wanted to see if any others are in the same boat. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call. If you feel comfortable sharing which apps they are, other people can tell you if their apps say the same thing.

HannahPie Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Question(s) from the newbie: when y'all mention POIs, do you mean professors you're merely interested in working with (and vice versa) or professors you've specifically contacted/been in touch with? And on a scale of 1-10, how screwed am I for not getting in touch personally with professors in programs I'm applying to? Any insight would be enormously helpful! I basically just want to know now whether I'm dead in the water or I should continue my current pattern of oscillating between hope and despair.

I basically just want to know now whether I'm dead in the water or I should continue my current pattern of oscillating between hope and despair.We mean the people we hope to work with. It's an odd term, but I think it's been borrowed from other disciplines where it makes more sense. I believe there are mixed feelings here about contacting professors beforehand or not. Some do, some don't. There are plenty of success stories from both sides, so you're definitely not dead in the water. Carry on with your roller coaster of emotions.

HannahPie Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Oh oh, another question: do all/most programs ask for an interview before admittance? Or only some? None of the programs I applied to mentioned it in their process, but there's something so comforting about worrying one's self to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the results section for your programs, but most don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
