  1. hey all, i was wondering if anyone had any information about the practice of getting more than one MFA. i have several professors who have told me that i should at least apply and consider grad school straight out of undergrad and i agree that i feel ready for an MFA and would get a lot out of it i talked about the fact that i would really appreciate going to a well-funded MFA program if i go next year because i already have some undergrad debt but if i got into a top program (vcu is the dream) with little funding, i wouldn't want to pass up the opportunity. the response from a few people has been to go for the money now, build a stable practice, pay off my current debts etc and then apply to top programs later. this seems like weird advice to me for some reason but also does make sense if it's as good as it sounds, the opportunity to have the MFA experience twice... i mean, are MFA programs reluctant to accept people who already hold MFAs? or is it otherwise detrimental in anyone's opinion? i don't want to make a rash decision, only apply to funded schools and regret it ... and i can really not afford to just apply to all types of schools right now and decide later unfortunately :/
  2. hi all, as i build my list of schools to apply to i'm looking for a good amount of safety schools (e.g. lesser-known state schools, etc) that give out full funding/TAships/fellowships etc. i'm applying for sculpture as well as interdisciplinary programs. my focus is in large-scale installations so ideally places with good facilities for such endeavors. i found the thread from 2012 re: "schools w/ excellent funding" but many of those are highly selective-- several will be on my list but i'm also looking for some options that aren't as selective. it seems like there are so many schools that might fit the bill. i'm planning on looking into: u florida florida state u georgia u maryland iup michigan state u u ohio also i feel like there are a lot of midwestern state universities i just haven't thought to look into? if anyone has info about these or knows of any other such schools i would really appreciate input! thank you!
