I'm no expert. I've talked about this a lot with my mentors. And I've attended and left a graduate program because my needs weren't being met. Ultimately it doesn't matter where you go to school. the work matters. The school matters in the sense that you want to be around people that match your energy and intellectual hunger. Your peers matter. The community matters. Sexy schools can give a little bump and a lot of rigorous and invested students and faculty can end up there, but there are some less sexy programs that are just as good.  For me graduate school is a means to find comrades and mentors. It is a space to work hard and take risks. It's expensive. There isn't one right answer to this. It depends on what a person wants. Go to with your gut or go with the sexiest school. You will be fine either way.

I don't think so. There aren't many schools that make people do that. 

Hey guys. I have been creeping on this forum and haven't posted yet.  Congrats to everyone who has recieved good news. I have an interview with Yale for painting and just received a call from Columbia for an interview also. Thought folks would like the Columbia update.
