Looks like I am the only printmaker. I applied to the following places:
-Wisconsin: Rejected 2/10/10
-Michigan: Rejected 1/27/10
-Tennessee
-Mississippi
-Florida
-Florida State
-Miami
I too am applying straight out of undergrad from Indiana University. I have not received a BFA as well. However, my portfolio is strong and feel that I articulated my self well in explaining why graduate school is the proper decision for me now. I thought that my undergrad being Visual Arts Education has helped me to stay in "the art loop" as well as gather experiences many people don't experience as students. Teaching people of multiple intellects, ethnicity, religious beliefs, moral fibers, physical abilities has helped me broaden my understanding of the world around me and to in turn create meaningful art. I've also studied printmaking abroad in Venice, Italy and was privileged enough to experience the Biennale.
I'm assuming that I have two big strikes against me not being a BFA and applying straight out of undergrad. I'm curious of everyone's opinions. I visited all of the school's I applied to as well. I hear that his whole process is a whole lot of talent+luck=admission. Given my circumstance, do you think it is realistic that I will get into a MFA program? I want this bad
Thank you all for reading my post; it means a lot to me!
