just so i'm not giving any misinformation i asked about options for the interview b/c in the letter i got it said that interviews were mandatory for everyone except for people in foreign countries and those at a ''great distance from new haven'' which i thought was a little open she mentioned skype as an option for those in ''great financial need'' but b/c i know a lot of people are working really hard to be there in person i haven't pursued that yet

@ calliope: i got an email feb. 6 that i was a "finalist" for the mfa painting at tyler, i'm still not sure about their admissions process though.... does anyone know if columbia does interviews ?? its kind of weird no one has heard from them yet!

is anyone doing a skype interview for yale ??? they mentioned it as an option for me, b/c i'm from california. but then they kind of downplayed it saying it was time for me to ''ante up'' like putting money down for a plane trip is some extra sign of commitment ... i kind of see their point, but $700 for a flight + housing thats a lot to ask i think was anyone else shocked they don't offer any housing/aid for interviews ?? ok rant over!
