I heard via phone. I think you could check in with them. They are looking for a response from me very quickly so I assume they've done their first round of offers and are hoping to quickly get responses in order to approach people on their waiting list so don't give up hope yet. Maybe we'll be attending together! Best of luck!

Has anyone been accepted to Rutgers MFA visual and not going to attend? I'm on the waitlist there...

@evd thanks for responding! I'm also on a waitlist for Rutgers so I'm going to wait a little longer to respond. It's too bad the cost of living is high in the area surrounding purchase. If it was more affordable my choice would be easy. I am personally pretty excited about the option. I like the faculty work there and the structure of the program. They offer TAships and the opportunity to teach a self-designed class during the MFA, they have a field trip class to NYC and a great visiting artist program that the graduate students are allowed to chime in with suggestions for people to bring in. I'm really happy to be accepted.

Thanks! things_x2!

Has anyone else been offer admission to SUNY Purchase? I've already passed the deadline for a different program that is waiting on my decision and I think Purchase is the school for me but I won't be able to visit the school. Have anyone visited or went to Interview day at the campus? Any extra insight into the program or its reputation would be fantastic. I'm Canadian and I have to make decision between attending Purchase with some great funding but still not a full ride and staying in Canada where I will be paid for school. I know there's been some discussion on this forum regarding money vs reputation but I feel the decision between schools here that are fantastic programs and schools close to NYC with some debt is more complicated than that. I'm not looking for a clear answer on what to do but maybe more of any thoughts on Purchase SUNY if anyone has any. Thanks so much! I'm wishing everyone the best of luck in their applications and decision making!
