Did any of you get into a great school, your top choice to find out they didn't give you much? This is my problem at the minute. I don't know whether to run with the debt and follow my dreams -or- forget about an MFA...have a harder time finding a job.

I agree, it's so disappointing. To make a huge achievement and to be selected as one of the few to be in this awesome program...then have money get in the way is frustrating. It's even more confusing not knowing what is in the future and knowing how we all will pay off our debts. I already was accepted into an MFA program last year and had to decline because of money and I feel now that it's my last chance to go. I had no idea a lot of state schools had such great funding. I feel like a fool. I was told to apply at the big name private schools because the more expensive the school, apparently the more money they had to offer. Obviously that's not the case.

**when telling people how much money it will be** Can't you defer? **last year when I got into Central Saint Martins in London** You need all that money upfront for a visa? Is there a way to override it? Can't you just live in London?

Possibly. I applied because I felt they advertised they provided a lot more funding... $18,000-36,000. But maybe only a couple get those big amounts? Did you get in elsewhere? Ps- don't you love how they invited us with less then a weeks notice to this admitted MFA graduate event on Sunday?

Just got mine...same! That's like undergrad funding. I think we should call.

I haven't gotten mine yet. Oh gosh...I'm nervous now I didn't get enough funding..did they give you any merit?

Hello, I worked at Cranbrook as an intern. I was surrounded by many graduate students as its a small community. Yes, they teach the camps in the summer that is all art based courses. They also do some educational tours for the kids that attend Cranbrook. As for Cranbrook students teaching undergrads..no. However, my whole undergraduate program had a lot of young Cranbrook grads teaching as assistants after their program was done

I feel so much better now that I was denied from here. I do a lot of conceptual non straightforward work. I admired Abe Morell and their alt process courses...but seeing these insider opinions really helps.

MassART- denied/ no interview RISD- wait listed CCA- accepted

I'm on the MFA RISD wait list for their photography program. I was so excited to even get an interview! It is a bummer to wait though. I have been accepted to another school CCA so I can't accept my offer until I find out more for RISD which will be end of April. I just want to start planning for this fall! The summer is fastly approaching and this is a big move.

I was wait listed for RISD for their MFA program. I'm incredibly proud I even got to this point because they had about 200+ applications for my program and only interviewed about 15 and take 7. Fingers crossed. Otherwise just going to the school that accepted me

I was on my 10 min break at work on a rather stressful day. Did a squeal!
