Thank you very much for your comments. At one point I was looking into VCU but I kinda backed off once I realized that it is the number one sculpture program in the country. Intimidation I guess is why. But i realize that's a silly reason. I should look into their program again. I'm looking a lot at faculty and student work. I want a program that has a strong foundation in materials but that will push me conceptually. I'm also looking for programs that encourage or require interdisciplinary work or research. Facilities and funding are also important. I'm very interested in teaching and would like to teach my own courses while earning my degree.

Apparently I posted this in the wrong place. Lets see if this gets a response here. My work can be seen here: http://jordansmithart.com I'm applying for my MFA in sculpture at the following schools: University of Cincinnati Alfred University Michigan State University of Michigan Massachusetts College of Art & Design University of Indiana at Bloomington University of Tennessee Knoxville University of Maryland I welcome critique of my work and recommendations for different schools to apply to or information on the schools listed above. Thanks, J

Hey guys and gals. This is the first time I've posted here, i'm sure there are other posts that might answer this question but I didn't find anything posted recently. My question is, how do you personally find graduate schools to apply to and what do you look for? Do you just look at the financial opportunities or the facilities or the faculty or the location or the grad student work.. etc? Which of these and other factors do you think are most important? Do you base your opinion on what you see on the program's website? Do you call or email the school? I'm applying for MFA programs in Sculpture and have started a little list of 3-4 schools I like but I want to add more. I pour over websites for hours but still feel like I'm not always looking at all the angles and factors for each program. I also feel that you can't fully grasp what a program is all about by just looking at their website, which can often times be very frustrating. Look forward to hearing from you all.
