bhavika, SVA and RCA seem to be your top choices. It comes down to New York City or London. I looked at RCA's faculty, and it looks great. The cost is the issue, so if SVA is cheaper, then that is your choice. RCA looks fantastic though, so I'd go with that if you can afford it.

Stay in LA. You can put what you already have there to good use.

What he said. It's tough to turn down a full ride though.

Full ride. No question. What field, by the way? Graphic design?

I don't know. It's RISD. I'm sure you need an interview if you want to get in.

BLR, I checked the results page and an international applicant put up an interview. The applicant was contacted on February 15th. I'm wondering if RISD contacts in batches or that was it. At least for graphic design.

Okay, who got an interview from RISD for graphic design?

Jesus Christ, how good is your stuff, Mustafa? Can we see? If not, that's fine.

tomberry, I like that resilience.

tomberry, Did you send an e-mail?

dwise1, I applied to RISD. I'm retreating into my shell now until I know of my fate. I don't have a website set up right now, so maybe later. What I submitted overlaps with fine art, so I hope RISD will get my work better. We will see.

I got rejected from Yale, too. 3 year graphic design. Keep your head up, guys.

I'm out as well.

It seems like the power is shifting away from the established schools in the East Coast. It's been this way for at least a decade, but it's interesting to hear feedback from others. Nice to see that we have a good spread here. If only we could get more information from other schools like Cranbrook and VCU.

First week of January is an ambiguous phrase. It could be last week, this week, or the first seven days of the month. Don't panic yet.
