[++ SAIC or MICA? ++]

 

Thank you so much for your advice.

 

Wow! You are so amazing that you found out I'm more drawn to SAIC!!! Magical! I'm still waiting for RISD. But I think there's already no hope. I've already decided to go to SAIC as long as I get the rejection of RISD. LOL. Have you decided which school to go to?

 

Lol, well I'm glad I could. I am really stuck to be honest. But I know which school I want, Columbia, it's just so expensive. But either way at least I have a good selection though, right.

[Artist-Are you shocked by who offered an acceptance & a rejection?]

lol you're in the forum for visual arts, but WE ACCEPT  YOUUU! I am being for real though- it's cool to post here,I am just not sure  you were aware.

 

Yeah I applied to 8 schools total and looking at every one else most of them had 5 at most. My teachers said to try at least 10!!! and my one professor said 'oh I applied to a dozen and got into all of them ' << -_______- I hope he wasn't lying. lol. Then again we had one girl last year at my school that applied to a lot and got into every single one. That kind of stung for me though lol.  I don't think my work is worse than hers..Just I think she's more mature in her pursuit......which is important to schools.

 

I am glad you got in! you must be a good writer because you did very well for yourself!!!

 

 Wow, I actually didn't notice hey. Thanks for pointing that out and accepting me  .  It's actually my first time in this forum, I've been snooping around and decided to finally post something.  Lol well don't let that sting you too much, everyone goes about it differently. Well 8 schools is still a lot, I commend you for that. Congratulations on your Boston University acceptance by the way.

 

And thank you, I'm glad I did too.

Well, congrats that is amazing news. It sounds like you are more drawn to SAIC. If money is not an issue then go to it. But I'd go with the one that offers great scholarship.  I understand that location is also important, but would you lose such an opportunity to avoid money issues in the future? Wish I could have offered better help. All the best though in deciding.

I am actually still shocked. It's my first round applying for MFA in creative writing, and I heard horror stories that advised you to apply to a thousand schools just so you could at least get into one school.   I kept on thinking, 'I don't have that kind of money for submissions'. Well, I should have at least tried schools whose tuition didn't break the bank. But, in the end it still feels great.
