<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>So I'm an international student from Moscow, Russia. I've lived and studied 2 years in Rome ,Italy, before transferring to NYU last fall. I'm an Art History major and a French Studies minor. I speak 4 languages fluently (Russian, Eng, French and Italian).
I've cofounded two clubs in Rome, including an Art History club. Right now at NYU I'm planning to create an art-related club as well and currently running for a president of a Fine Arts Society club. Have a great experience interning with different art organizations and museums. My GPA right now is 3.6 (though consider that I transferred so I started my GPA all over again last semester). I hope to raise it up to 3.8.
I will be applying for grad study of art history upcoming fall. I'd love to focus on Modern and Contemporary and specialize in Russian Art. So, as there is no particular ranking of top graduate art history programs, I'll be applying to IFA at NYU, Columbia, Princeton, UCLA, The Courtauld Institute of Art in London and Oxford. Do you guys have any other suggestions about good modern art grad programs?</p>
<p>I'll be taking a GRE test this summer, so cannot reflect on my scores yet. So what do you think are my chances of getting in any of these institutions? And how should I improve those chances?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
