chloedejonge Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey, I thought it would be a good idea to open a topic for the MoMA internships, because they have been mentioned a couple of times in other threads. I applied for the Summer internship, and haven't received a confirmation yet. Anyone in the same situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radredhead Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Hi, I applied for the summer internship with my first choice as Media & Performance Art. I've heard that they don't send you an email confirmation, and they contact for interviews much closer to the acceptance date - so I'm thinking late March or April at the earliest. I'm very unsure if I will even be a competitive applicant. I'm trying to start grad school in the fall and have proof of acceptance, but my undergrad is in film (class of 2011) and not art history. However, I have 5 years professional experience, with the last 2 directly working within curating, producing, coordinating, and administration for art collectives and arts education. Hope they take people outside of academia! Good luck to you! Edited February 24, 2016 by radredhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostsBeforeBreakfast Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's unbelievably early but I'm strongly considering taking a year off from graduate school to pursue the 12-month internship at MoMA. I think I have a good chance this time around, considering my recent research, work experience, and certain recommenders. At the same time, how often do people get accepted that are mid-way through their MA? I could wait until I graduate but something in my gut says that now is the right time.

chloedejonge Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 GhostsBeforeBreakfast at what point are you in your studies at the moment? I think you can get accepted mid-way through grad school but you have to come up with a really good reason for why don't you wait until graduating. radredhead, you sound like a great applicant to me, good luck! The MoMA seems like quite 'cool' and flexible with their selection, so I think you should be hopeful! The only thing is that not all departments have interns so we might get unlucky. I applied for Education and I hope they have projects going on so they'll need a hand or two during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of that! I did put in 3 choices, with no. 2 being publications and no. 3 being Exhibition Planning & Administration. Choice 3 is basically what I do for work right now, so while I think I'd be exceptionally qualified for that, I want to move into curatorial and hope there's an opportunity there!

chloedejonge Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I got a confirmation yesterday that they got my application. I applied for the Summer internship but the confirmation said that they received my application for the Spring internship - I really hope it's just a typo! I e-mailed them and as always I got an automatic e-mail about the high number of inquiries so I don't expect an answer. Anyway, the Spring internship has already started so I don't think I should be worried. Anyone else got a confirmation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetegalante Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I got a confirmation yesterday afternoon. Mine also said they received my application for the Spring internship, so I'm sure it's just a typo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloedejonge Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yes, they just e-mailed me with the correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny-j Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I also applied for the summer internship. Does anybody the weight of such a short internship in the application to a Cultural Studies/Art History PhD program? I did my undergrad in Studio Arts with an Art History minor, now slowly building my credentials to pursue a more theoretical program in the next couple years. Would a MoMA summer internship be of much help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarirachel Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 has anyone else not gotten a confirmation? I thought the application closed feb 19 (four weeks ago yesterday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloedejonge Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Does anyone know where are we likely to get a notification about interviews or rejections? Any past applicants or anything? Or is it department specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloedejonge Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 I know about the final notfication date, that's why I thought they should be organising interviews around this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radredhead Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have only received the automated confirmation. Going by what previous applicants have said, they do interviews pretty close to the notification date. Hopefully we will be contacted this week or the next if we are a finalist!

sunny-j Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 If anyone receives interview invitations, please let us know. It will help me somewhat calculate my chance of being rejected. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surichetta Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hey guys I also sent a request for the Summer internship but haven't heard back for any interview, if you know someone who has can you please let me know? Am already pretty demoralized but at least knowing it will help me accepting definitely that i have been rejected. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeM Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hello Guys! Has anyone received any e-mail from MoMA yet? According to their website, the 22nd of April is the big / decision notification day. Just wondering that maybe any further update on any of the departments could help the rest of us here who are still waiting... I've spent the last few days on F5. Am I the only one?

The initial email confirming the reception of application says the notification will be sent out "the week of April 25". According to applicants from past years, many people got rejections 10-15 days after the official notification date.... Let's just hope, or simply give up hope.

chloedejonge Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 I just got a rejection letter. I was expecting it since the confirmation e-mail said we'd be contacted by departments in a couple of weeks after the deadline if we were of interest. Anyway, I'm glad that I don't have to worry about this one anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
