Thank you I am actually hopeful I mean I feel my application was strong, I just have always bombed phone interviews and so Skype is like the worst way to interview me! I am much better in person especially in talking about art! I hope you win an acceptance too!

Hi All! I applied to UC Davis and Stanford this year to get a feeling for the application process. I got a Skype interview with UC Davis today and man I feel like I bombed it. They sent me a list of questions to be prepared to answer and I filled them all out and got ready for the interview. I have bombed every phone interview I have ever had in my life but I did my best on this one. They told me to answer 2 of any of the 8 questions I would like to answer from the list they gave me, and my ramblefest started. I spent about 5 minutes talking about my process, at which point they asked me to speak about my conceptual background on the work. I did a bit more rambling about my process and a warmhearted story of how I aquired the materials I work with and then they asked me if I had any questions about the program. I asked if I'd be able to explore ceramics further and also take a course in the environmental department to strengthen my conceptual basis. They said yes they would love me to branch out and be all interdisciplinary- and also thank you for my thoughtfulness. They said I will have an answer in 2 to three days. Wooooooow I have no idea what I said and like I have no idea how many other finalists there are! Does anyone know how many finalists they pick? I was so surprised!

I applied to Stanford and UC Davis. Had a Skype interview with Davis today. Yet to hear from Stanford! http://katmartin.org
