Any clue what "application under review" might mean on the CCA webadvisor?? I assuming a rejection, at this point they're the last school I'm waiting on, just want this whole process to be OVER!

Way to go! I am also considering & most likely going to SFAI--how did you find about the fellowship? Good luck with MassArt, and maybe see you next year at SFAI!

It's your birthday. What got me is that your id is from the email that confirmed your application was received---not the id# from your application receipt.

Hey Y'all! How are you logging into the cca portal? I get the instructions, but where to do you find your "id number"? And is the mmddyy your birthday? Tried a few different combinations but nothings working for me.. Thanks!! NVM I figured it out, "Application under review". Feels like a bad sign.... Anyone done this who applied for Photo at CCA?

Seeingeyeduck-- Curious if you are talking about Stanford interviews for the MFA art practice program? Also, how do you know?

There's still hope! Who knows what kind of timeline they're on... And as for interviews there, at the information session they said they make the 10 finalists do a presentation about their work. Good luck to you!

Hi Shaoceptual, I had a Skype interview with them on Monday, and they wrote me Thursday saying that I was chosen for the wait-list. They have already offered acceptance to their chosen candidates. There's only 7 MFA photo spots. Did you have an interview?

Just got an official email saying I'm wait-listed for RISD photo... I am kind of surprised, I feel like I bombed my interview big time! So I'm glad that I'm wait-listed, but also frustrated since all that means is more waiting. And can I just say that Skype is the worst way to talk to people?? Seriously awful. Anyone out there apply to Stanford's Art Practice program?? And are people getting results about CCA? I'm thinking I'm officially out of luck there, but don't want to give up just yet...

I have a few friends of friends that graduated from the art program, but I don't know anyone personally. I didn't apply, but kind of regretting it at this point, it's literally in my backyard!

Alexandria--I would contact their office and check on that. If I remember correctly, their application had you submit materials in slideroom and on the application. I believe they review/accept applications on a rolling basis, so if they didn't get your app materials in time, you might not be out of luck. I was contacted for an interview for their MFA Fine Arts Grad program a few weeks ago.

Just heard from RISD--got an interview! Now the real nerves begin.. I know you guys are already talking about interview questions, I'm wondering if anyone knows a good way to tackle the question "where does your work fit within contemporary art?" Are they looking for your knowledge of contemporary art? Or are they looking for you to make an argument for why anyone should give a s**t about your work?

How do you know?? I really hope you're right...

For Sculpture, right? I applied for Photo, I've got my fingers crossed that each department is reporting separately...

Hey All, Stoked this forum exists. I've scanned the pages here, but don't see anyone reporting about CCA. Has anyone heard from them? Their website says they're interviewing on 2/23, and notifying "early February". Starting to worry that I'm not on that list... Also, saw that someone predicted Stanford choosing by the end of this week--how do you know? This is my first round applying to MFA programs, the suspense is awful!!
