  1. Yay! Congrats! I see that you came down to the same decision as me... How did you decide RISD over SAIC? I ended up choosing RISD over SAIC as well a week or so ago, but I wanted to see your take on it. My reasons were that RISD is much smaller, I prefer the artwork at RISD, and I got more money from RISD. I'm over the moon about starting this fall there. (for sculpture for me) Also- I have a friend of a friend that is in your same group (RISD painting) and is coming in the same year as you. Oh, and you should see if you can haggle your financial package at all and get some extra mullah!
  2. Congrats on being accepted to RISD! Do you plan on attending or not? (I'm going! I've been accepted into RISD sculpture.) I thought this thread could be used to discuss things like: - the curriculum - the school - the city of Providence - housing (what are the good places to live in Rhode Island?) - roommate situations - funding (tips to help people) - anything else RISD related People could use this thread to exchange contact info and meet their future classmates. or, if you're still on the fence or have decided not to attend, you could say why here. I'm gonna guess funding lol Hopefully I'm not posting this too late... It seems like gradcafe has slowed down a bit since it's nearing the end of this grad school decisions journey.
  3. Hi peoples! If you are going to call a school and ask if there is any more funding available and talk about your other offers, who do you call? Admissions office? Financial aid office? I feel like I call places and I'm put in touch with a secretary who has no real power to give me more money. I could talk to the head of the department, but I feel like I've already talked to them about how funding is important to me... This may be a dumb question lol I don't know.
  4. Yea, Yale!!! If RISD offered you a full ride, then maybe RISD, but RISD doesn't normally do stuff like that... So... Yale!! (But maybe wait and see what RISD says and try to play them off each other.)
  5. I think, based on what you're saying: Boston is the one for you because you seem more interested in the place, faculty work , student work, and it's cheaper. I thinkkkk Boston is also known as a better art school?? Could you visit Syracuse? If a school really likes you, then sometimes they offer to pay for you to come down (that's been my experience). Good luck hopefully someone else on here knows more about Syracuse than me
  6. Any other RISD sculpture people waiting to get an email about their financial aid information (to find out about awards and stuff) ? It said in the email from Taylor Baldwin we were supposed to get an email from financial aid yesterday about it, but I haven't heard anything yet.... Anyone hear anything about that??
  7. I live in Pittsburgh now!! It's the best! The art scene is really open (except in downtown pittsburgh). CMU is a really big deal in Pittsburgh, if you go there it kinda inspires awe in Pittsburgh and you'll be able to show everywhere. Maybe come visit! Also, Cost of living here is cheap compared to other places. CMU has a lot of opportunities to send their students abroad too over the summer if you don't like it. They really encourage you to do residencies and such over the summer. Do you have any questions about Pittsburgh I could answer? (Don't mean to throw pittsburgh down your throat haha!)
  8. I don't think you should assume rejection to Carnegie Mellon yet!! My interviewer told me we won't hear back till the last week of March. Carnegie Mellon goes on spring break around now so it takes them a while. Wait to see what your top choice says! Don't give up on them yet!!! Maybe call them?
  9. Good to know for future reference! I think I will call and email from now on! Thanks!
  10. Was this about me?? Aw. Thanks gurl!!! But yea, I got funding from the fiber department but I called SAIC sculpture and they already have given out their merit scholarships. If you didn't get a letter saying that you got a merit scholarship or an email, then I would guess that you didn't get one. But, you could call and ask like I did. It's awkward but whatever. The lady was really nice about it when I asked.
  11. I think you should call. Calling them sucks and it would be easier to email, but yea, I think it is just the more respectful thing to do. Make sure to thank them and tell them how much you appreciate their offer.... Just my opinion tho!
  12. (Funding information pending till early next week)
