nosering

for upenn dudes - i got an email from them that got sent to my spam saying theyve incresed their funding packages incase anyone missed it. It pretty much doubled (10,500) - but is still kinda insignificant in the grand scheme of private education

I replied to the wrong post! Painting

Painting , I pretty much know I'm going to vcu as its my first choice/dream school - but am curious about upenn since in past years it seemed people were notified earlier, although it doesn't look like anyone has said anything this year!

has anyone heard from upenn post interview?

Has you status changed on the website as well?

I'm with you in painting, guess that means we were either accepted or rejected hah! I feel our paths keep crossing too!

Probably not then!

Did it seem that they were aware of it? It was never brought up in my interview - so I figured they were aware / not a big deal. Mine is reordered in a way that a detail image is first and some of the other details are far away from the original piece - so I figured it would be obvious that the ordering had been messed up in some respect.

yep

Do you think this because of the fafsa email ? In my interview they said they would be in touch over the phone or email in a week - which will be soonish. But the email and the website are always tooting march 14.

I have experienced this is as well, and was somewhat confused for a moment. I'm assuming / hoping that wasn't the way it was seen while in review. But who knows.

Im wondering if interview notifications come through email or phone or mail as i am having a snail mail crisis. My mail lady went on vacay and lost the key to my building, they havent been delivering mail for 2 weeks now and they werent planning on telling us either. I had to call the post office to see whats up. This might be my weirdest experience with a municipal force.

(Posted before I finished writing) I'm a fan of the minimal website, I only post my current body of work, and rarely anything older than a two years. So with those opinions I would still say theres nothing wrong with hobbies! The "satisfaction" of painting probably helps to cultivate that machismo attitude towards painting throughout history into post-post-modernity. I would just keep it off the professional website and maybe unto a tumblr or fb page instead.

I know exactly what you mean, I'm a "painter" but I'm working within what I consider to be the end of painting (a la Steven parrino), therefore I limit myself from using paint materials to move away from what you mentioned about the strange self-indulgent nature of painting. My work is pretty sculptural in order to invade the space of a painting - that being said when I see painting I think a lot about its meaning, whether it needs to be painted - if it's relevant. Looking at your website I was confused by the difference between mediums , I'm a fan
