A lot of schools do it by department, so that could be the case. I'd seen you posting and saw that you were for film so I'd assumed their department had gotten through their stuff but others had not. Yeah, this is essentially what she told me. I hadn't seen anyone posting about there and had only seen a few signatures mentioning Illinois State so I just wanted to give an update for any people who are mostly lurkers (like myself).

Called Illinois State today to ask if I could submit an updated exhibition list and the graduate secretary told me they're on spring break and likely won't start the review process until everyone returns next week. It sounded like this was the case for all of the concentrations within this area, as I had not given her my concentration info yet.

!!! Kent State in Ohio has rolling admissions and the deadline for their printmaking application for consideration for assistantship has been extended! There's a full assistantship open here! I made a post about it a few days ago but if you want more info you can message me!

Hello beautiful future MFA students, I too am awaiting news from my schools and this forum has been a nice thing to ghost through for a good idea of what has been going on in some of the schools I have heard, unfortunately, nothing from. I am posting because I'm currently finishing my undergrad at Kent State and I have been informed that right now they have received no suitable candidates for their printmaking grad spot. They have a full assistantship open and want to give it to someone! The community here is awesome and due to the recent retirement of an awesome, but stuck in the past professor who was the head of the department major changes are taking place. Starting potentially in the fall of 2014 (though likely after winter break) you would have access to a completely new printmaking facility and shortly after a whole new arts facility as well. Kent State has a strong first fridays visiting artist program and really awesome opportunities in the summer with their Blossom Arts program in almost every concentration, where they bring in artists from around the world to teach for two weeks. Additionally Kent State has a nice set of galleries, is 20 minutes from Akron and the Akron Art Museum and is about an hour away from Cleveland which houses an amazing and ever growing art community. Two presses in Cleveland (Zygote Press and Black Balloon Editions) were founded by Kent alumni and while BBE is only a few months old Zygote has multiple opportunities for Kent State students every year. I feel like an advertisement now :[ But I just thought some of my fellow printmakers might like the knowledge that a spot in a nice place with an assistantship is OPEN and they have extended their deadline!!
