[MFA Sculpture Applications for 2014]

To all those waiting on VCU for sculpture, I just emailed them and they said they would have made their preliminary decisions by the first week of March! Not so far away

 

Preliminary? Did it sound as though they would be conducting interviews during the first week of March?

Just got an interview for SAIC's Masters of Design in Designed Objects program (MDDO)

[MFA 2014 All Art ADMISSIONS freak-out forum!!!!!!!!]

They (VCU) are letting me change it. But it's probly not a big deal for them. If it is obviously out of order they probly assume there was a tech problem

There was a thread a little bit back about VCU applicants whose portofolio had been reordered in wierd ways through the supplemental site.
I contacted them and they are letting me change it back.

 

I would do the same if you are worried about it.

Mine is completely out of order too. Bummer, I guess?

My portfolio is also out of order. Its not so different from what I had constructed, but still not quite right. Strange. Not sure why that would happen.

Hi Coreythegiraffe,

 

Could you share what your SAIC sculpture interview was like last year?  Did you Skype or visit in person?  What was the review like?  Was it just faculty or were there current students present? Any particular questions beyond the obvious about artwork?

and this is silly but i had to ask… did you wear nice 'interview' clothes or casual clothes?

 

Anything you can share would be really helpful. Thanks!

I went to the SAIC sculpture interview in person last year, I had never been to Chicago, so that was fun. 

For SAIC its an event. They started with an introduction in one big room with all the sculpture applicants who had been granted interviews. Again it was about 40-50 applicants to interview for about 12 or so spots. 

You sit one on one with two of the sculpture professors. They ask you to go through the portfolio you submitted, which I did. Towards the end I showed them some current work I was making. They asked me to clarify particular parts of my statement, which I did. They didn't so much ask why grad school or why SAIC. The really just want to know about the work. They didn't asked curveball questions.  ALWAYS have good questions for them. At the end, they will ask, "Do you have any questions for us", and you should have 2 or 3 questions to ask. My interview went well, I asked good questions and I think thats why I was accepted. 

It wasn't particularly unique in any way, just don't be nervous, and just talk.

I was accepted to SAIC Sculpture last year, didn't go though, $42,000 a year is too much.

All I know is that they interviewed about 40 ppl for 12 or so spots.
