I don't recommend trying to get in to thisJan 03 2014History/Histories (art history/etc.)
I don't recommend trying to get in to this school at all. However, if, like me, you don't have a lot choice, then try to apply/transfer in for the Summer term, as the admissions are much lower at that time. I was rejected for the Winter and Spring terms, but finally did get in during the Summer.

Also, be prepared to request multiple copies of your transcripts. You will need them.
