Damn! I didn't know Hogwarts was accepting applications for graduate students. Oh well, maybe next year

Sorry to hear that, bathtub. I was interested in their program at one time because Julianne Swartz studied and then taught there, but there are other things I want to do with the next few summers

Good luck on the interview tofutuesday!

Good luck! I was wondering what happened with you. Have a great time!

Congrats fairweather and good luck mlk... For those of you not getting better news, I know its hard to stay positive but it isn't over yet. Being wait listed isn't bad news and its quite possible that you will get in. Plenty of people need to reapply several times and many people I've talked to (or read about) felt it was more beneficial to take some time off before going to grad school. I know that doesn't help to ease the sting of rejection, but there can be a positive side to almost anything. Personally, I'd like to get any kind of news, but I'll probably take that back as soon as I get a rejection.

Yellow Magnet- Seems like you would save money and time visiting both in the same weekend, but maybe feel a bit rushed as well And Congrats everyone...

I meant a possible second phone call- not necessarily involving an interview per se ....

JoJoYang, I think that most information about programs should be researched in depth before you apply and involve a visit to the campus if at all possible. If you are not sure if about accepting an offer to attend a school then you should do all you can to attempt a visit before doing so or send an email with your questions to the graduate advisor.

That is what I was told from the grads I spoke with when I visited- an informal phone call and possibly a second one as well (if they are interested).

Regarding RISD- oakchild heard from them, but I don't think its in graphic design

Whoa! Yay! Good luck!

congrats kafralal!

yes, good luck, klp!

Ummm...most definitely. The holiday isn't American made. Of course, people don't care about it being Valentine's Day if its good news, but seem especially hurt if its bad news (on the results page)

That seems like a good idea for responses. People don't seem too happy to receive a rejection on Valentine's Day.

Welcome, bhavika.aggarwal! I don't know how much assistance others on here can offer you in making your choice or preparing for webcam interviews other than to practice with friends, make sure your background isn't cluttered, and be yourself (but professional). As for the hard copies to send- just send your best work. Probably 5-8 pieces would be sufficient in my opinion, but I'm not in Graphic Design. Presentation is probably important as well. Good luck to you!

Why are people responding to a two year old thread?

Sorry to hear that, Yellow Magnet. It seems like you have some great things going for you already though, so I'm sure that helps. I hope you don't spend too much time wondering what it was- it may be that they already have someone there doing similar work...?

I would think so- did you find out what happened to them?

I've been checking the results page for Carnegie Mellon University and I'm wondering if they are quickly going through the work and taking out all 2d applications first?

Congrats oakchild!

Good luck to you Coreythegiraffe!

Congrats czarina and catawampus!

Is this your first year applying? Even if it isn't, I don't think this process should make you rethink your life choices by itself.

oakchild, welcome to the forum! Someone here is interviewing for CCA. I believe its Yellow Magnet. You can also type in CCA in the search box above to find the post.
