Hey OEE, would you mind terribly if I asked you to give me your SVA friend's email? Ask them first of course--but I emailed the school to see if there was a current student there I could talk to and they haven't responded yet. It would be soooo great to be able to ask a figure painter how their experience of the school is!!
Sounds like we've all got hard decisions to make in the next couple weeks! I thought waiting for acceptances/rejections was hard!

Heard from my last school: SVA...a surprise acceptance!
Anyone know firsthand about it? I looked at the graduate fine arts faculty and none of them are figure painters. I'm starting to wonder why they accepted me--I'm a figure painter.
Whatever--it's nice to get another acceptance. My husband teases me "You're 3 out of 9 good!" It's funny how we really start thinking that way--that these rejections/acceptances mean something about our art.
Congrats and Good luck for funding to everyone!

Just wondering if anyone else is as worried about the F word. How do you all pay for school when you don't have rich grandparents/parents? I've done all the FAFSA stuff but wondering if anyone else knows where to apply for more grants/fellowships outside of FAFSA and outside the schools? Like the NYFA but for more than just NY?
Congratulations to all acceptees!
-
anyone apply for sculpture or painting?
I am. Painting. Got accepted to SFAI yesterday. How bout you afrobob?
-
the best of luck for your interview.
rejected from Parsens. 3 more schools left. I'm starting to think of other plans for this year...maybe I'll try again next year.

thanks to everyone for advice--keep it coming!
graphikchik--thanks for the "emerging artist in residence" idea. I'm pretty ignorant about this whole sphere--thanks for advice. I also wondered what your mentor had to say about SAIC--what was his complaint about it?
-
I agree with you portafoy. This whole process is so bizarre. Who knows what's going on with these guys.
I got a letter from SAIC yesterday too. It was similar to yours, Coberry27, only they want me to apply to their Post Bacc. At first I was depressed at the rejection but now I"m seriously thinking about it. I'm wondering what other people think about this option? Two months ago I wasn't even planning on applying to grad schools--sometimes I think a year more of preparing would be good...what do you guys think? Have any of you done a post bacc? Seems like a lot of money for no degree.
-
Thanks Coberry27. Depresses me a little--I was almost deluded enough to think CalArts rejected me because of my bad GPA. Sigh.
portafoy--I'm pretty sure an invitation for interview means you passed some preliminary review. As a friend who knows about these things told me: they're looking for reasons to like you when interviewing. Congratulations!
I had an interview with SFAI but I'm in painting, also they don't interview everyone. I just got my tracking ID from Columbia and checked the status of my application today and saw that they had the wrong university listed as my undergrad! I would recommend anyone applying to columbia to check their status for mistakes.

I was wondering if anyone knows how much GPA effects our applications for MFA programs? Mine's not the best.
Rejections are awful. so far my ratio is 3/1. Lame.
2nd question, Is anyone considering reapplying next year if they don't get into the school they want?
-
I'm currently waiting for a phone call--interview--from SFAI. Very Frightened.
I've been rejected from CalArts and Yale. Anyone heard from Columbia, Chicago Institute, Parsens, or SVA?
Good luck to everyone! Hi to Paul51--hope we'll be classmates.

I haven't made a final decision yet but wondered if there was anyone else considering MFA at SVA?
