I'm turning 30 this year with no academic/work experience in the arts (B.Sc and MA in totally unrelated fields).
So far, I have been admitted to the BFA program at SAIC and interviews scheduled with 3 other schools for MFA programs.
If I choose to go to SAIC, I will be able to earn a BFA in 2.5 years since they have acknowledged about 60 credits from my previous school. Funding results will be out in a few weeks.
It's still early to tell since I haven't received other offers, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are on pursuing a MFA without a traditional arts background. Would it be better for me (at this age) to start out from a BFA?
My purpose is to learn and develop as an artist, and not so much in the prestige associated with degrees.
I am so glad you asked about this flawed. I have also gotten into SAIC for BFA, although I applied to be in the MFA painting and drawing program. They said I would be called a prior degree student, which I assume is the same case as yours?
I am indeed confused about what decisions to make now. I am only turning 23, and don't know if I would earn a lot by taking another 2.5 years in a BFA program. I am sure taking time to make art is perfect, but would I choose to make art in a school environment for another 4.5 years? I am not sure.

How many people do Hunter take each year for MFA? My professor from college said it is quite a good program, does anyone have more insight of what the school has to offer?

Just got rejected by Cornell!

meggyc - did you get an email about it or phone call? and when? good luck!
OMG I have the same question. Was it from a specific person, or just general email? ...

I called SAIC to ask and I guess the Low Res program doesn't require interviews, they are sometimes given informally though. It is the painting program that asks for interviews, and we should receive an invitation to interview by mid Feb.
Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear something from SAIC?
LOL I am.

Just received an interview invite for SAIC's printmedia via phone call for feb. 28th!
Congrats!

I've been avoiding posting this question, but the suspense is killing me!
I don't know how many times a day I can keep checking my email, and my postman probably thinks I'm close to stalking him.
Has anybody heard anything from Alfred, Cornell or U Washington?
There's so few data points in the main results search, and I can't find any other real resources for a decent timeline of interviews/acceptances/rejections.
I also applied to Cornell for painting, and emailed Carl Ostendarp about interview status. Basically he told me that they are still in the process of listing people they want to interview, so no rush. And based on last year's forum, it seem like they won't let you know until April

Carterjohnson! Mine is at 4:25 as well, lol but for painting
Did they require you to print out images as well? Would people print on professional paper?
I am kind of nervous!
