  1. Hi everyone, Would anyone be kind enough to look over my SOP? If you like, I'll offer feedback on yours as well. Thanks!
  2. Has he looked into any of the i-Schools? While I was researching schools, I noticed course and thesis descriptions that match your boyfriend's interests.
  3. One LOR secured, two to go...

  4. whoops, the guideline is 750-1000 words. 1500 is definitely too long. Need coffee...

  5. If you haven't read this recent thread yet, it might help: My applications also provide SOP instructions in list form, but unless they explicitly ask for it, your SOP doesn't need to be structured that way. It's just there to ensure that you include all the info they're looking for.
  6. Can you take a class or two before you apply? I'm not sure if any of my undergrad professors will remember me, and I'm switching fields anyway (BA in English, pursuing a design degree). My boss is willing to write one, and I'll also be asking the professor of an extension class I took earlier this year and an internship supervisor in a design-related field.
  7. I'm curious about this too. I took the English Lit GRE in 2007 and bombed it (530). Now I'm applying to a completely different field--interaction design/new media. GRE scores aren't even required in my case, so I'm wondering if I can just include my decent GRE scores and just leave the English Lit off. I think it's probably best to ask the department about it.
  8. I hope this response isn't too late to be useful (not that I'm guaranteeing that it'll be useful at all!). Depending on the school, it might not matter if your undergrad degree is in a different field. It sounds like our interests are pretty similar. I majored in English as well, and I'm applying to new media-related programs this year. It looks like there are people with various backgrounds in UCSC's DANM program, and they no longer have a programming requirement. I'm also applying to SF State's Industrial Arts MA, with a concentration in Visual Communication/New Media, and they will accept students with unrelated degrees conditionally. Once you complete a semester of design courses and pass a portfolio review, you're advanced to candidacy status. Since you're interested in California, have you looked into California College of Arts' Design MFA with a focus on interaction design, or SF Art Institute's Design+Technology MFA? CalArts might also have something that's a good fit for you.
