I applied for MFA in Graphic Design/Visual Communications. Didn't see many ppl applying to this field of study here. I come from a non art/design background. Graduated form business school and worked briefly in advertising/marketing but still couldn't adjust myself to the world where $$$ matters more than anything (though we often pretend otherwise).
Interviews
Yale (3/29) <= having hard time registering the idea of being in the final for several days. no email sent. I logged on my page and it's there. I applied for 3yr program but they bumped me up to 2yr without my consent and knowing.
Calarts (3/4) <= received email notification on 2/13, Chinese New Year's Eve.
I don't think I'll be able to make it to Calarts in time for the event. It's New Year's holidays now and visa office won't open until next monday. Plus, where should I live between the interviews? They're alomost a month apart! For now, I think I'll do a skype interview with Calarts and fly in for an in-person interview for Yale. It sounds crazy, flying in from Asia for just an interview, I know. The admissions office lady says they totally understand if I can't be there, and that they do skype interview with international applicants every year and it works very well. I wanna go because it's Yale. I never dreamed of the possibility of being associated with the name my entire life! What do you guys think? Stay or fly?

Has anyone heard from graphic design/visual communications department of these schools yet? English isn't my first language, I may sound kinda awkward in it, pardon me.
