  1. Received official Skype interview email notification at midnight for an interview with two painting faculty and one current painting student. They are trying to fit all painting interviews for this Friday and throughout the weekend. The program is super small, looks like they might only take 2 or 3 painters a year.
  2. UT Austin Professor contacted me via facebook a few hours ago! Wanted to get my email address to send over information regarding my application.....
  3. hahah, I really appreciate it, thanks! Want know anything about funding into next week
  4. I SCREAMED when I read my acceptance letter! This is my first time applying, so shocked right now! It was a really nice letter they typed up!
  5. Skowhegan has been known to release rejections in order of application submissions. In that logic, I should've received my rejection letter today with all the other early applicants. I'm still not feeling too optimistic about my chances. @triangles321 where you notified today or yesterday?
  6. Oh gosh! Has anyone not herd, besides me?
  7. @stupidpainter It's never wise to speak to an experience in which you could never assimilate. Sometimes it's best to listen rather than impose thoughts and opinions that come from a place of ignorance. It's demoralizing being an only black student in a historical white program where the majority of your peers and instructor have a primitive understanding of the contributions of people who look like you. Therefore their ability to contribute to meaningful critique/ discussion is painstaking because it's through the European white male canon of art making. I don't trust artist in this current climate to be considerate of these issues. Your entire comment is the testament to that, due to the fact that you somehow thought your comment wasn't problematic and offensive.
  8. Some programs care, yet they don't attract diverse applicants so they get the problematic all white straight male conundrum. Schools like a Columbia, Yale, UCLA, RISD, SAIC, etc should be overflowing with diversity they definitely received the bulk if not all the top POC students. Part of my concern with entering an MFA program is being the token black student.
  9. Stanford is the only program that requires a GRE. I can't imagine their admissions process being crazy competitive compared to other top programs because of the GRE requirement. That definitely deters a lot of strong applicants, regardless I've heard the program is great and the funding is amazing.
  10. @triangles321 YEASSS!!! You better preach it, I agree, shouldn't take 6 whole months! On the website, it says Mid-April! For the past few years, they usually announced the first week of April. Bless the hearts of the artist who've gotten admitted and had to plan an exit strategy from their jobs, save additional monies and do all of this and so much more in less than 2 months. Very presumptuous and pretentious of Skowhegan but yet every year a resilient group of 60 young and hungry emerging artist arrives, despite it all... I always thought the Skowhegan admission process was so long because they collude with their "Marching Partners schools" to confirm if certain finalists are newly matriculated with a partner school.
  11. When I say full ride, I'm mean all your tuition is taken care of, separate from housing and living expenses.
  12. There are definitely fully funded students at Yale! If you got an interview and you think it's worth your time applying again, then go for it! Everyone I personly know who attends interviewed again the following year and was admitted.
  13. Where do you look for that at? Regardless, we should all hear something next week, April 4th seems to be the time frame in which applicants here back.
  14. Thought I got a Skowhegan admission email, but it was just an award dinner invite.

    Rejected also, I just wasn't able to give it my all sadly. Well, that's it for me! I super tired of applying to programs, this was my first rejection and still, I'm super young at 23 and will look into applying to grad school again when I'm pushing 30. Congrats to accepted folks!

    Well, I definitely didn't meet any of Yale's excess mandatory interview requirements, with good cause of course. Just considering how fickle their admission process is, I'm finding more and more difficult to imagine them admitting me at all! The interview was very conversational and productive, they not only asked the anticipated questions, they went on to make pretty profound questions and observations regarding the work. So I'm hoping they find it in their hearts to accept a domestic applicant without an in-person interview or physical work.

    @Tomcat I only applied to Yale also. To confirm, Yale only interviews 70 for painting and printmaking? I just feel like that's a lot. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
