Popping in after a long time Status update 5 rejections 1 waitlist - MICA I also changed to plan C and applied/got into the Creative Circus. It's not a grad program, but an ad school. So there's that.

Well, I got 'redirected' to the post bacc program at MassART, which according to the dude is pretty good. And I signed up for the interview [on the 26th]. But my question is should I shoot for it? I guess this means I have promise

Temple Rejection via checking their portal today. Guess I'm gonna need to rethink my life choices

has anyone heard back from MICA's photographic electronic media?

Well, people are hearing back from temple. Anyone applying to the photography department hear anything yet? I'm finally at 'complete and ready for review' as the last recommender finally turned in his recommendation. Urgh, I'm going into that deathspiral where everything is riding on me getting into grad school. Not to sound dramatic *snerk* but I either need to get into a MFA program or have some form of magic happen and get me into a job that I don't despise will all my heart and soul. Corporate Retail is a rank bitch.

I'm also assuming cross SAIC off if there was no call for photography mfa's too *crosses fingers at least one of the other three likes me enough for an interview*

I'm just going to go ahead and cross SAIC off my list if the mfa photography calls went out. Ah well. Four, maybe three to go. One app didn't get everything in on time because of that stupid snow storm. Such is life

I be one! Already have one rejection, and I'm slowly suspicious that my SAIC will be a rejection too

Well, MICA is reviewing my portfolio now. So I should hear back soonish. I've entered the valley of 'despair' and 'desperation' on that coaster all in one go. I really need to start a new photography series, but I just have no time. That and winter doesn't agree with me. The outdoors is something I particularly rely on, but the places I go are becoming either dangerous to traverse or too popular. That and the cedar waxwings. Poop everywhere man. Urgh, February is gonna be fun. Not to mention that the regional manager came in today and she doesn't like me at all. We will see if I still have my job at the end of the week

That's what mine says too. It's because one professor hasn't sent in the recommendation either because of slideroom problems or being busy I have no idea. Just sent him another email. I'm about getting to the level of bribing him, or begging. I can't tell

Just got a lovely rejection letter from SCAD Savannah. This bodes well as this one was a fallback. I love how between the lines it was a slap to the face. Subtly saying one can qualify for the BFA with their portfolio is just kinda mean.

So, is SAIC all ready sending out things? Should I worry about them? Granted, that place was a pipe dream...

I like you Loric, but I feel that if we ever meet in real life, we may end up maiming each other. Back to the grad freak-out. Does anyone know when the real panic should set in?

I'm beginning to really despise slideroom...

My particular favorite comes from my mother's boss's wife: "Photography, said derisively, what use is that?" Most range from the "well that's useless" to the "you want to live off your family forever?" and the "your cousin who is your age is an actuary, why couldn't you do that?" My father is a staunch believer in all college being useless. And my inability to find work in my field as me not trying hard enough. If I try any harder, I'd be flinging body parts at people for them to notice me.
