Yes! I got accepted to cranbrook yesterday which is exciting to feel wanted. But after my visit today I'm so going to RISD. I had a great visit n lunch with some students. I'm hoping to start looking for housing or checking out Risd housing. I'm so pumped!!! That's great I heard they're hoping for 4-5 people in our year. It's going to be a great experience! Studio spaces are quite big which is nice.

quick question --- does anyone know that if a school doesn't fill up all their spots, if there are more funds to go around to their other students... crazy question. but curious.

hey -- i will definitely let you know about my trip up there this week. I sent in my deposit, and i agree about the structure, size and the faculty i've been admiring -- excited to meet. I haven't heard from the other two yet. I hope you figure out what you want and if it's RISD, maybe I will see you there.

Sorry for delay --- I am hoping to, I'm visiting this week. And I am waiting to hear from Cranbrook and Tyler. I'm debating asking for an extension... but I really like RISD's program and structure. We will see but i'm 80% sure I am.

@rainbows are you thinking of going to RISD?

hey --- clay peeps! any one else check status at vcu --- mine no longer said ready for review...but i couldn't find my status...anyone else with same issue? Thanks!

I have never been either! I am really hoping the financial package is good too. I'm hoping to go visit RISD in a few weeks as well. Is there anyone you are looking forward to seeing in particular? To answer your question I don't know many who were accepted but NCECA is probably a great place to take to their current grad students. I also know hat they originally were looking to take btw 4-6 people. Which already seemed like a lot for a ceramics program, compared to other programs.

Hey! So I'd love to go to RISD, it's a lot of money, and they said I would hear more about funding this week through the mail! So I'm hoping for the best. As for schools, I would love RISD, i applied thinking it wouldn't happen and I'm happy it did. I got a phone call sayiing they decided on wednesday to admit more people. Which is fine by me! RISD would always be a top choice. I'm hoping to hear back from Notre Dame, Cranbrook, Syracuse, VCU, and Tyler. I am going to NCECA! I'm so pumped and it's going to be a great opportunity. I'm curious how things will go since I might see people from the schools I haven't heard back from yet. But I'm just so excited to see Walter McConnell demo and to pick up some great tools!

That's good to hear that there has not been any new yet there's still hope! haha I got some snail mail from Mass Art -- rejection to the 3D MFA program... I wasn't sure what to expect but these things happen.

Thank you! Ceramics. Pretty excited hoping to visit them soon.

So this afternoon I a LOVELY call from RISD, saying I was ACCEPTED... ecstatic. I will find out about funds next week! But first acceptance! It feels really good! Nice to hear there's still good news for others out there too!

any more news clay people? Anyone going to NCECA?

I got info from Risd that I've been wait listed but hopefully I will have my chance to go... The wait will be long but worth it!

Hey how did you find out?

Hey -- i interviewed with ceramics over the phone -- it was very short 10 minutes. They asked about what I have been doing for past few years...what art world i saw myself in... what is a successful artist / how does one become that... and I asked about taking classes abroad during winter session & about there distinct area of ceramics they had (they spokes about potter - ceramic sculpture & architecture). It just felt really rushed. I expected to talk about my work more. I'm happy to of had the chance to be a semifinalist for ceramic program and I hope to get in but I'm happy to of made it this far!
