Hey guys, I am new here and just need some help. I graduated earlier this year with my BS in Visual Communication (with a 3.6 gpa) and am looking at grad photography programs. I tried last year (for fall 2012) applying to UGA, RIT, UNM, and RISD, but failed to get in to any. I figured I just aimed to high, and now I'm looking to apply fall of 2013 to the following schools (which either offer an MFA in Photography or MFA in Studio Art with a concentration in photography): Syracuse, UW-Madison, U of Minnesota, SCAD, LSU, Indiana U, Ohio U, and VCU.
My questions are, 1.) I do both photojournalism work (I have worked for papers since I was 15) and fine art (which I sent last time), so I am thinking of going with my photojournalism work; so will schools still look at me serious if I send my photojournalism work in? 2.) Does anyone have any advice or tips on any of the schools I listed in bold above (ie what they prefer, chances of getting in, etc).
Help is much appreciated guys
