JellybeansGalore Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 How is everyone doing this fine day? I am distracting myself from the anxiety with crafts. Yesterday I built a snowman, and today I am building a tripod for a daguerreotype camera. Crafts! MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arboreal05 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've been reading YA novels to try to keep myself busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydancer Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hey guys, finally coming out of lurker territory to join in the anxiety-waiting game - fingers crossed for everyone here! Anyone else having major application list FOMO? I keep getting these flashes of terror that my life is ruined because I didn't apply to this one school that might not have been a good fit anyways :D. YA novels are fantastic distractions, the more ludicrous the better! Arboreal, I just started the Throne of Glass series, which for some reason expects us to believe that the captain of the royal guard for a tyrant is a romantic 22 year old who's never killed anyone? What are you reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tarsila89 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've heard some people got interview requests for UC Berkeley last week... Do you guys think it's over for the ones who didn't get a interview? Or maybe not? I didn't even know UCB did interviews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they are few and far between (at least on the results boards), so it's hard to tell. It appears they are more informal interviews, but it's always a good sign to get one...

I understand what you mean. Pretty much for that reason, I've applied to nine programs--a majority of which aren't a good match for me at all. I've had the worst luck finding POIs whose research interests align reasonably enough with mine. I'm not feeling very confident, but we'll see how it goes.

la_bouche22 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi all, Did any of you apply to UCSC? Any update on the status? I'm a tad worried as admitted students in past years received their notifications around mid-jan. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results board is a little all over the place for them, so it's a tad harder to tell exactly when they are sending things out. But, it's usually around this time.

I believe the UCB interviews were more formal than they have been in years past, but I'm not entirely sure if they are a requirement for admission the way Northwestern/Stanford/IFA interviews seem to be.

feelthebern16 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Today I received a package in the mail. It said "university" so I freaked out. Looked closer and it was some random MA program solicitation. Ugh. 21k for 15 months in Rome if anyone's interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pan~dulce Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hello! First-time-poster, here to join in on the waiting game. I've already heard from two schools (an acceptance from St. Louis and a rejection from California), but has anyone heard from Minnesota? Hope y'all aren't drowning in anxiety/anticipation like I am.

MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hey guys! Just posting a "YOU CAN DO IT" note, since I know we're all going crazy right now. This isn't my first round of apps, so I definitely know how difficult it can be. I'm having a really hard time staying off the results board or checking my app sites. I'm seriously hoping I get in somewhere this year. Just remember this process can be unpredictable (for better or for worse!), and it ain't over till the CURVY LADY SINGS. :-) Now go eat some chocolate, have a glass of wine, and scream into your pillow!

Charlsa Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've already decided that if I don't get into grad school for art history, I might apply for library sciences. Still, it's going to be quite a blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should post those results in the results page - be honest, it's for posterity! Then the next round of applicants can drown in anxiety right around this time when they see it's possible to receive results this early.
