Dartmouth contacted me today to postpone interview until next Friday (huge blizzard hitting is in Boston tomorrow). He did tell me they liked my work and that I may end up hearing from them before the interview because they are being pressured to make their final decisions as early as possible. So that made me feel a bit better after the rough interview with massart.

Congrats and nice to see an acceptance so early ! I've been reading the entire 2012 thread, very depressing.

I have to say, your first post comes off a bit offensive. There are many reasons to go to grad school, just to make work definitely shouldn't be the only reason. I can make all the work I want at home, what I would gain from grad school is the dialogue created by the faculty and colleagues, resources to further me education, a realistic stepping stone in a way that will allow me to pursue my arts full time (make some sort of livable cash). I don't have kinds, am not married, and no need to settle down, but those people who have lives and responsibilities, their reasons are no less credible. In fact, if you just want to make work, invest in a studio or a garage space. Academic at is more than just making it, it's discussing it, understanding it past and present, and learning the business behind it. 
 
Depends on what your definition of evolved is. I know I've only posted the work I included in my graduate portfolios. I'm sure if more people, including myself, posted all of our work from the past 5-10 years, you'd see an evolution of sorts. Your work should be constantly changing, growing and evolving. It should never reach it's peak, otherwise, where else do you go? I have no idea what you are saying by 'interesting', but to me, it comes off a bit pretentious. Maybe its due to the entire post.
 
Sorry if this came out so negative, but your post left me with a really bad taste in my mouth and has been sitting in the back of my head all day. on another note, where are you applying to? It's nice to see so many sculpture people! I keep seeing painters and it always bums me out (sorry painters, I love you guys, but I want to see more 3D work!!!). 
 
Cant wait until my final applications are done, then I can start preparing for my interviews and start rereading "Why is that Art?", "Duchamp" and "House of Leave".
 
Edit: I realize this came off harsher than I probably intend to. Not changing anything in the post, but just wanted to address the harsh tone.
