POI invited me for a paid visit to campus Feb. 16-18

Accepted with five year funding package.

I am posting to let other applicants know that Northwestern has started to send out interview notifications. Good luck to everyone.

Notified by POI, with whom I've been in a bit of back and forth contact.

Invited to recruitment weekend as a finalist

To the poster below: what is your field of research (I'm in contemporary/Photography theory)? Did the admission letter provide any details regarding financial support? I received an official "provisional" admission offer from the Graduate Division, and I wonder how much time do I have to think it through.

Skype interview with my POI this week

Received an email after talking with the head of the department over winter break.

Received an email from the program chair stating that the department found my application to be "very impressive" and requesting a 15-minute Skype interview with members of the committee. This is my top program, so I am beyond thrilled (and nervous)! Good luck, everybody! Note: GPA is from MA (also in art history).

Invited for a funded campus visit; told I am on the short-list.

POI let me know unofficially, funding and official offer coming in the next couple weeks

Same as the last poster, got generic email from CAS. No word on funding yet, or when that’ll be announced. I submitted my application about 10 days ago, to give an idea of their turnaround.

Formal email from Graduate Admissions, no info about funding. Excited! Good luck everybody! :)

Email from potential advisor commenting on the strength of my application and asking about my plans for next year. Said official offers would be made within two weeks.

Contacted for a brief, 10-15 minute phone interview.
