I'm apply to the Grad Center for PhD. I'm at Hunter College doing my MA now, and I have to say I've mostly had a great experience. The only downfall for Hunter, though I'm not sure if it's like this for the grad center, is the administrative disorganization of the art dept. What's your concentration?

Hey, I want to talk more about the CUNY program! I plan to apply this Fall for the PhD. ristastic, did you end up continuing to the doctoral program there? I know if I was in your place I almost certainly wouldn't continue to haunt a graduate admissions forum, but on the offchance that you are kinder than me, any thoughts to share? I hear good things about this program, too, but I am not yet convinced of its rigorousness or the quality of the students. How competitive are admissions? Anyone have any perspective?

Hey there, I got accepted at the grad center, but did not end up going there. If you want to PM me, I can tell you a little bit more about why not, mainly because of funding issues. Overall though, the program is a great one academically, I have a few friends there who are definitely high-caliber students. Admissions is not quite as rigorous as some of the other top programs, but that also has a lot to do with funding, in that most of their students aren't.
