dannyduki Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Would the Yale acceptance be able to give us any more info? Congratulations to you!!! PS. Have any medievalists heard back from NYU/Columbia/Harvard? Radio silence on my end But no rejections either? Edited February 23, 2015 by dannyduki
drrr Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I can finally claim one of the Courtauld acceptances! So excited. I mentioned earlier I only applied to one program, and I am so relieve putting all my eggs in one basket worked out. I was sorry to see all those Columbia rejections. I hope the rest of this final week of Feb is filled with Art History Acceptances on that results page Congratulations Nesbit! I got an unofficial offer from my POI today as well! Maybe we will meet each other in Courtauld then neongolden, Nesbit and c m 3
GhostsBeforeBreakfast Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Did anyone not get an MAPH acceptance or referral that was rejected from U Chicago?
ghostcowgirl Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 A little late to the conversation BUT I was accepted to University of Oregon MA program Rejected from UT-Austin (via web) Had an interview with BGC last week Still waiting to hear from Delaware and Boston University yikes.
im4nrt Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Does anyone know anything about the UChicago MAPH program? Friends who have been through the program? Is it worth it if accepted? Pretty sure I won't go if accepted because $$$ but still curious.
GhostsBeforeBreakfast Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 I know that someone who went through the program was accepted to Yale for Art History a few years ago. There are a ton of threads on it, if you search around. Here is one example:

Congrats on your acceptance to Oregon. I got rejected from UT too, and I'm still waiting to hear from WashU. I take it as a bad sign that I haven't heard anything
cha-cha Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Congrats to the CUNY admit and best of luck for the waitlisters! Does anyone mind sharing information about your concentration and/or the email you received? Was it an official email from the department? Was it implied that all notifications were out already? I'd appreciate any sort of input. Thanks!
Burr Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Well, fellow University of Chicago rejects, methinks I'll be drinking my sorrows away tonight. One for each of the brave applicants who fell to the admissions committee this year, as per the spreadsheet. Eight and counting. God rest their CVs. Also, I'm happy to see Indiana University admits on the list. I've worked closely with a few professors here. Send me a PM if you've got questions about the Department of Art History at IU. Maybe I can answer them (albeit from an undergrad's perspective), or refer you to someone else who might be able to provide better insight.
terralily Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I haven't heard anything either way from Chicago. Was it just an email or did your status on their website change? I hate how "hide the ball" this all feels. Ugh. moccacad 1

I hate how "hide the ball" this all feels. Ugh. It was an email. Check your spam folder, just in case. I took a look at the website just now. There's no indication that I was rejected. I'm really bummed out about it, just because it was my top choice, going off of my current theoretical focus. I've only applied to two schools this first round, both for personal life reasons and due to insufficient time to do my research as to where the field is going, what are my options, etc. After a month or two of searching, I found only one POI in the United States who is working on the kind of stuff I'm particularly interested in pursuing for my thesis. He's in Chicago, and he specializes in a different subfield than that in which my background is strongest. It was a long shot, but I hoped for the best. Ah well, I'll keep working on the project in my spare time. Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Still waiting to hear back from Harvard, which is a much better fit for my subfield focus.

I, too, haven't heard anything either way. Strange that UChicago is referring everyone to the MAPH program (though there is a checkbox on the application where you can elect to have your app referred there if you are rejected from the PhD program). I wonder how many MAPH referrals already have a Masters?
Atlantis Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 MAPH is what you make of it. While it is certainly expensive, it can be an extremely rewarding experience. You will never learn as much and work as hard in that one year than at any other time in grad school. Also, people have re-applied to the UChicago PhD track after they did MAPH and have been accepted. Others went on to other programs at UChicago or elsewhere. If you're able to stick around, you may also get credit for your some courses, which can be a plus. It is certainly a program to consider. c m, Swagato and Atlantis 3
angela_ Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 do you think we should assume we were rejected by yale if we haven't been contacted yet?
MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 All my fellow UChicago rejects - ouch, right? I knew it was a long shot, but it still stings! Hang in there. :-) moccacad, c m and Burr 3
angela_ Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 lots of red on the board at the moment. bad week.
GhostsBeforeBreakfast Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I'm basically down to three programs, everyone. I'm sorry for anyone in a similar boat but if you know you belong in this field, try not to get too discouraged. One day we will look back at our published dissertations and laugh at the fact we ever had a doubt in our mind. Burr and neongolden 2
drdm2000 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Delaware committee meets tomorrow, notification of acceptances via phone and email tomorrow evening. HerculePoirot and GhostsBeforeBreakfast 2
InerLC Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Delaware committee meets tomorrow, notification of acceptances via phone and email tomorrow evening. Thanks for the info!

kinderbueno90 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Is anyone else waiting to hear from BU and Maryland? So far I'm down to two programs..... and waiting for three more. Congrats to the admitted students and good luck to the rest of us!

Congrats to the admitted students and good luck to the rest of us! I am waiting to hear from Maryland too, and as far as I know, so is another person who I've been in contact with. We've both applied for a PhD, and I saw on the results page one person was already accepted for a MA. I wonder how much longer it'll take, waiting is excruciating. But at least we're not alone! I'm still waiting on 5 schools after two rejections. One of them is U Del, hopefully it's true that they're making decisions today. I can hardly take this waiting game much longer. I am 6 hours ahead of the east coast, and I have been waking up in the middle of the night wondering if I got an email... Congrats to those who have been accepted and good luck to those still waiting!
drdm2000 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 ^^ no. Acceptances go out before rejections.
dannyduki Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Just wondering, have the Columbia acceptances received word from GSAS yet?
