For a variety of reasons, I've decided to wait until the next round of admissions for fall 2016. So, there's ample time to look more closesly at some of the other programs that don't get as much PR. Did you look at Edinboro University in PA?
*I was coming from NY, as well. Finished my BFA at Eastern Michigan University (also, IMO, a hidden gem) when they offered me a full scholarship to do so. While I do miss NY, and will probably apply to Hunter, there just seems to be more opportunity outside of NYC for a sculptor.
