Guest tarsila89 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Hi everyone - I wanted to share some good news. This morning I received an admission offer from UC Davis =) It's a MA program, sort of my backup since I know it's not easy to get into the PhD directly from BA, but it was still exciting to read that "congratulations" on the beginning of the letter. That's it. I'll wait for my PhD applications, but I'd be happy at Davis too.
feelthebern16 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 @Mazinha88 that's great!!! Congratulations!!
Popmochi Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 @Mazinha88 Congratulations! Who would not want an offer in the pocket while waiting? It sounds awesome!
Popmochi Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 @yvz Are you also applying for art history phd programs with an east asian specialization? I'm mostly interested in Chinese art.
JellybeansGalore Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 @Mazinha88 Congratulations! It must be such a relief to get a congratulations letter, even if it is from a backup.
feelthebern16 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 hi all! this is re: Chapel Hill First, big congrats to the UNC chapel hill admit & interview posted this week! After viewing the results postings, I logged into my UNC app and was scrolling around to see if there was any newly posted info. I casually clicked "view application proof" and scrolled through it and noticed that none of my supplemental documents were there. No writing sample, no CV, no personal statement. It was just the actual application. Now I'm a little on edge because I have never seen this before. Can any one who applied to UNC check their app and possibly put me at ease? I feel like the overall checklist is shorter since last I checked in December. Really hoping this is a glitch. Feel free to private message me if you don't feel like posting. Thanks in advance.
yvz Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 @Popmochi I am also applying for Chinese Art PhD programs, several along the east coast

I just checked my application, and the only uploaded documents showing up under the application proof link are my transcripts. The rest is just the application form. However, on page 9 (program supplement) it says the writing sample and an additional supplemental document were uploaded on Nov 30th. feelthebern16 1

Huge sigh of relief!
baddie Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 @Mazinha88 Congratulations!! Considering the last year's results, a wave of news might be coming next week.
arboreal05 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Hi everyone! New to the forum, and anxiously awaiting any kind of word from my schools. Does anyone know if it is more common to hear informally from a school or POI first? Or do most schools just send out official news?
feelthebern16 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Ye Olde "I see acceptances/interviews/rejections posted from a school but haven't heard anything so where TF does that leave me" crisis settlng in. Grad cafe is all fun and games till this moment! Uff. WHJackson 1
MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Congrats to the Northwestern interview! Do you care to share who your POI is/what your field is? Thanks! Northwestern is one of my top choices... :-( :-( Edited January 23, 2017 by MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou
arboreal05 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 @feelthebern16 I know exactly how you feel! It's moments like these when I wish I had the self control to not check the results board 5 times a day.

MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Are you referring to the one to the tune of "Der Fuhrer's Face?" It's amazing.

arboreal05 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Well, I am technically supposed to be doing school work right now... Though, it's not doing a very good job of keeping me occupied.

No but I must find that one! My favorite so far is the one set to Biggie. Punching Nazis: an American tradition since 1941.
WHJackson Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Not that I intend to drag this conversation into memery, but you all have reminded me of this: Also, hi! This is my first post under this account. I was here about three years ago as I was applying for my MA, under the name "ChurchLover" (I'm a big fan of Frederic Church, as I am of William Henry Jackson). Long story short, I can't access that account anymore so I made this one. I'm just as anxious as all of you. I, too, look to be hearing from a school or two sometime this week, and every time I visit this forum it feels like I'm adding fuel to the anxiety-fire. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for myself and everyone else! This is a fickle, nerve-wracking process but at least we're in it together. For anyone curious, I earned my MA at Tufts last spring and I'm more than willing to answer any questions about my experience via personal message. I don't know if I'll be much help but I'll put it out there anyway haha. Good luck everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor! MaytheSchwartzBeWithYou and baddie 2
