I met a Stanford prospective student who said she received a call for an interview last week. Interviews are taking place next week.

Random tip I got was learn about the professors and what artwork they are doing so you can talk about it comfortably in the interview and discuss how your work will contribute to or be influenced by theirs. If it's a small program I would learn about all their professors (and maybe even students). If it's a large program I would pick 3-4 professors. Good luck all!

I'm wearing jeans, boots, nice sweater, some make-up... pretty much what I wear all the time. I plan on looking nice but not business casual. When I visited the schools they were all wearing jeans. I agree with the folks above. Wear what feels comfortable and what defines you as an artist (i.e. what would you wear to the opening reception of your solo show?)

I agree. I plan on asking the professor who contacted me about the interview at UCSB, what I should bring and how I should best prepare. So far, I plan on bringing documentation of finished work and work-in-progress from what I've accomplished since my application and perhaps a list of questions I have regarding curriculum, funding, what alumni have been up to, etc.

Thank you! Good luck to you as well. You seem to be exploring some wonderful opportunities!

Congrats! And good luck to everyone! This is going to be a good year.

Hey! A friend and I heard from UCSB last weekend. We got offered an interview. Have you heard anything? I talked to Carol Talley. She says they are interviewing 12 and accepting 8. There may be a wait list but the final number will be 8. Also, I was curious why you think they're a good fit for you? Finally, have you met with them previously, i.e. before you applied? They seem to like having prospective students visit prior to applications. Best of luck!
