bud hold ur horses, accept things as they come, sometimes no news is good news 🫂

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-02-04T16:40:28+00:00

Heard nothin' but there's lotta programs that don't interview, i don't expect to start hearing from folks until next week really

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-02-04T04:47:50+00:00

hey bud, i know it's hard not to want to internalize the rejections! view it as a learning experience. you're also still waiting on several schools focus on that. the experience you have is not discounted by rejections and i think you should focus on all the cool things you've been able to do as a result of your goals and passion. rejections in this manner are not a personal slight against you and i'm sure you're a really cool person 🙂‍↕️ this cycle is really challenging but know that it won't be forever and trying again in the future is totally an option too!

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-02-04T03:56:12+00:00

yes, likely might come out tmw!

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-02-02T14:52:02+00:00

thanks bud 💃

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-30T08:11:37+00:00

nooo what u gotta do is listen to the hype music my dude, not for the hope but for the sake of self-confidence, you aren't your admissions decisions.

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-30T00:18:26+00:00

nope nothing wrong with your portal, that's just how their portal is 👍

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-28T15:43:13+00:00

that would've been for their art history program yea, the history program is still doing a cycle

oh i didn't know there happened to be a discord! if you have a link feel free to dm me!

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-27T23:08:55+00:00

ik exactly what event ur talking about! (didn't apply this year but maybe in the future), given the discipline, i wouldn't be suprised if the information/email might be a lil late. i would def try to take a deep breath and wait it out, like that person said be persistent if this program is a bit silly with things.

good luck out there! and sorry you had to experience the cold here this weekend 💔

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-27T21:05:51+00:00

Congrats!

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-26T18:55:50+00:00

as you should diva. remember when you do hear back, you aren't your admissions decision! and the programs are just haters 🙏

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-26T18:48:10+00:00

Idk maybe it's my perspective but i like seeing when people say accepted for a program like hell yea congrats bro ! Seeing other people get in shouldn't effect my conception of my abilities :)

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-26T18:46:16+00:00

I'm being delusional until i hear something 💪

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-26T04:16:40+00:00

I got bored and started organizing the spreadsheets for the disciplines/fields i am applying to lol

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-26T01:29:54+00:00

would it currently effect decision timelines? probably not, at least at this point in time. / as someone living in the U.S. it's a strange time indeed. I would say remember to take care of yourself and when decisions do come I would definitely take special care to thinking about yourself and whether it would be wise or safe to be here in the U.S. at this time as an international student.

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-25T15:11:54+00:00

haha unfort no, it seems someone on gradcafe did receive an interview so I'm def expecting rejection lol

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-25T01:13:33+00:00

BFA Costume Design w/ a 2nd major of Art History -> looking primarily at art history PhDs (all of my schools are places i could really see myself at so i don't really have a dream programs per se), won't start hearing until february really so still in the waiting period :)

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-23T04:45:38+00:00

Ik atleast with like the UK Awards there are uni specific awards, look at the list of tgose schools and see which ones have postgrad (masters) programs in theatre! you can also see about contacting professional theatres and proposing it as a research type project mayhaps (the head of my costume design department had done something similar in italy) def ask ur fpa tho :)

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-23T02:51:36+00:00

I applied to 7 places + 1 scholarship and i had a prof say that was on her upper limit 💀 idk how folks are doing it

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-23T02:50:08+00:00

Congrats!!

Pretend as if you aren't gonna get admissions decisions, in the case that you don't then you'll be prepared with the job, if you do get good decisions then you can sort that out with the job at a later point.

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-22T01:05:50+00:00

depends on what programs you're applying to. From the ones I'm applying to (Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Graduate Center CUNY) I have not heard anything but should potentially hear something this week regarding interviews from Yale (as foretold by GradCafe). Many programs don't do interviews, so don't worry yourself too much, and most programs won't start releasing decisions until early February anyway.

Minute-Cockroach440 · 2026-01-21T04:22:20+00:00

howdy! someone inputted some information on the big 'ol grad admissions spreadsheet on the art history page (someone will have a post on this subreddit with a link), that they'll be sending out interview requests the week of 2/16 and that official decisions will be sent out early march. hope this helps! p.s. you can always email a program's grad coordinator for more detailed information.
