  1. For Painting. I was waitlisted at RISD and yesterday took myself off and gave up my spot. If its any use, I was next to be admitted and in correspondence with them about this. Also if you applied to Cornell I know for a fact that they are struggling to fill the spots. All their offers to first pics wernt taken and the waitlist wasnt big enough to cover their losses. They rejected me but called and asked to have me reconsider, which I declined because I accepted Hunters offer.
  2. Accepted Hunter yesterday. Took myself off the waitlist at UT Austin. Need to do the same with RISD.
  3. I know its a bit off topic, but I have to move out of my Brooklyn Apartment and have a great setup available May 1. If you are moving to NYC for the first time its a good place to get started. You can sign a lease August 1 when mine expires. Here is the craigslist posting. http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/sub/1682300909.html
  4. Phone call this morning from RISD. Waitlisted! Whoever got into yale and risd just go to yale!
  5. I interviewed last week so I am sweating the way the results will be announced. Painting interview.
  6. So RISD is mailing rejection only? Or a letter could be a yes? True for painting? The agony, the agony!
  7. for painting.... Got into hunter! Got an amazing voicemail last night from a professor. Still waiting on UT Austin, RISD. (interviewed last week at RISD)
  8. Interviewed at RISD this past week (painting). I think it went well, but you never know! The students were super happy there. Would be great to go, did anyone find out anything about funding while there? I heard its pretty minimal, 1200 a semester for TA'ing kind of minimal.

    Well thats with roommates, presumably, or your partner. You can live alone for $1000, various parts of the city, but its not easy. You wont be in a safe area or youll be far away from conveniences.

    Tough question, but the reality seems to be that you cannot have a viable art career launch right out of school if you have 100k of debt. How could you? How could you move to say, New York, and rent a $800 apartment, at least a $300 studio, eat, and buy supplies? You cant. You wont be qualified to get a job that makes much more than 30-35k in the art world anyway. If you plan on teaching as a support system, good luck, you wont find a job in an art epicenter like New York. You will end up working an arts admin job or doing manual labor like art handling and these jobs dont pay that kind of money. If you have any more refined or advanced skills your likely to get a job thats so consuming that youll have little time to make work. A good top school MAY be worth it, but its hard to say. If you are really that talented, that ambitious, you will do well in most programs. Even if you make it, get picked up, and start selling work, thats ALOT of work to sell unless your career skyrockets. It may end up compromising your artistic growth if you have some success and end up needing to make work that appeals to your collector base to pay off loans....
  11. Rejected when I emailed and asked the status. Just email if your stressed about it.
  12. Unfortunately I think that if you have not heard from Columbia by now its a rejection.
  13. In regard to Painting RISD Interview was an email, and I am on the 24th of March in the morning. I got a letter in the mail restating this yesterday. I have pretty reliable inside contact at Columbia that says they just finished two days ago from yesterday reviewing everyone. It would mean that you would hear, likely by phone, yesterday, today at the latest. I am guessing in regards to the timing of notification. I was told about the two day ago review from someone on the inside. I am also curious about the UT Austin folks out there, I am wait-listed so its AGONY. Did anyone get in? Please go to Yale instead! I have an interview with Hunter on the 20th of March, so you are likely to have heard from them by now about this. I got a phone call followed two days later by a confirmation email. hope it helps... Anyone got any news about Javits?
  14. I emailed cornell this morning, they told me politely I was denied and wont be wait-listed but that they prefer to wait to announce this mid march.
