juliette22 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Hey everybody! I hope you are all enjoying the Holidays free of applications! I applied to Modern/contemporary American Art History PhD programs and it was... intense! I only have one question for you, if anybody has an idea: when to expect a decision from those schools? Columbia said not before the end of March! Is that real? it sounds so far away! Also I know that might delay my application but one of my professor is being super slow at sending out my recommendation letter. So if you have any advice on how to make him do it a little faster that would be awesome! He is great and I definitely don't want to be rude, he is just super busy, but I hope it is not going to do any harm to my application. Good luck to you all!

condivi Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 You can expect to hear by late march/early april if you get in. If you're rejected, you might not hear anything till may. As for your professor, you should send him a gentle reminder email. It's his job to get recommendations in on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I spoke to my POI at UPenn and he said to expect to hear something no later than the end of February. My POI at Delaware said they meet in January because they have no class that month, so they send out notice at the beginning of February. So I think for every program it's different. I'm using the results search as a guideline, hoping everyone is on a similar schedule this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossedfingerscrossedeyes Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The results search gives a good impression of when programs historically tend to release their results. http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliette22 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks guys! I did look up last years' results. So I guess anywhere between February and April, well that's going to to be a long wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
