Does anyone else's decision status for UCLA still say, "To date, no decision has been made on your application"?

LOL, last year was the 7th by snailmail... and they say on their website requests are made up until mid February.

No, not all schools conduct interviews. And then there's a range from phone, skype, and in person when they do.

Yellow Magnet, nope. Not yet. I was thinking the same thing. SAIC is going wild. Hopefully soon. Have you heard anything?

Oh awesome, hopefully you like CMU even better in person

Thanks for the update Rother! End of the week is gnarly, I think last year was the 19th for interviews. Hopefully you get your letter sorted out.

FAR, from what I found it looks like UCLA contacts early march and USC I think does some kind of interview... but I'm not sure when people get notified for that.

Hi ismewilde, your list is pretty interesting. I agree about art center... same deal with calarts and otis. I had thoughts about CMU. I spent a summer in Pittsburgh before and have an aunt there. Downtown is weird and corporate, but they have amazing parks, plus the warhol and the mattress factory are great. And yea, March can't come soon enough.

Thanks marzipanned, herki and colow! All of that info was great. The symposium was cool! Parts were really geared towards undergrad but was nice to hear Hirsch Perlman and Jennifer Pastor speak, they were part of why I applied to UCLA and UCI.

Herki: That would be great! Your signature is very thorough. Do you remember who was on your jury? What were some of the hard hitting questions that they asked? How many sculptors were invited to interview? Thanks, I really appreciate it. Kafralal: That's cool you wanna stay on the west. Probably will be hearing from UCSD pretty soon since they had an early deadline. I was really close to applying to USC but after researching and discovering I would fit in better at Irvine... I had to edit them out. Plus if I don't get into UCLA it will be fun to apply to USC instead next year. Long live the rivalry.

Thanks! That's cool. How'd you like SAIC? Did you talk to many of the grad students? I only know a couple of people who were in the MFA photo program and they didn't really enjoy it. But I know someone who did their BFA in fiber & material studies and loved it. I went to the winter MFA open studios at UCLA and had a great talk with a 2nd year in the program... was the first person I have talked to who had nothing but good things to say about their grad school experience. All of the professors are great, their individual studios are awesome, and they get to TA as much as they want. Hi Kafralal, where did you apply?

Thanks pulpandink, so does that mean you will potentially have to do 2 separate interviews for SAIC?

Meese, I was thinking the same thing. But according to their website we have until the middle of February to be notified for an interview. Maybe (Hopefully) the printmaking department is just ahead of schedule.

Hey marzipanned, welcome to the sculpture thread! You have motivated me to make a signature lol. I submitted applications to SAIC, UCI, UCLA, and Columbia. Good Luck with your Glasgow interview and hopefully the rest of your schools follow suit. The printmakers have me on edge since they are reporting interview requests from SAIC on the freak out forum. Randomly...I had a job interview today and they asked me about my art portfolio and where I see myself in 5 years... Felt kind of how I have been imagining MFA interviews going.

Guess I am super late for this thread. Where are all the sculptors at? Petersons must be kind of accurate... apparently with SAIC sculpture, we have very different odds than the painters... 150 applicants compared to the painters 524 is wild. Where did you end up applying agro?
