All Done With Applications

You will note that I did not use the University of Wisconsin's official seal (like I did for the other five schools) in its post. This is because UW-Madison's seal is ugly as hell. If you really want to see it, click here.

So I am finally finished. Hundreds of dollars in application fees, days and days of writing personal statements, plus phone and email conversations with tons of professors - some of thought I was awesome, some of them thought I sucked, many didn't even respond to me. Despite all my effort, there is still a chance I may not get in anywhere. Every school I applied to has an accpetance rate somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20%. If I don't get in, I will have to repeat this entire process again next autumn/winter, until I get in somewhere.

I will not know anything until March, the usual time the acceptance/rejection letters are sent out. It kind of sucks knowing my fate is now out of my hands, but I've done all I can with the time I have to make sure I gave these schools the best impression of me possible. If they don't like me, it is their loss for not having the greatest art historian of the 21st century attached to their program.

But now, the great waiting begins.....
