  1. I deferred admission to CalArts last year, my financial aid package did not carry over, I was re-evaluated. But it worked out well as I was offered a bit more in financial assistance. Wish you the best!
  2. I was offered work study for CalArts, $2,500...enough to cover groceries for the year, I suppose.
  3. Has anyone heard back regarding financial aid? (CalArts)
  4. Hi! CalArts sent out their GD MFAa notifications on Feb. 15th last year; you'll receive an email to log into the application website to view the decision.
  5. Admitted into UIC--graphic design. I didn't expected to get this one. I thought I came off as too "odd" in the interview. Now to decided...UIC or CalArts.
  6. The trick is to tailor your portfolio to the job or in this case...the MFA program. What helped me was looking at what current students were making and deciding from there which programs aligned with my own design methodology.
  7. a couple of friends of mine were extended interview invites...about a week ago (2 year graphic design mfa)
  8. I logged into my application portal and there was a letter of acceptance waiting for me there (2 year gd mfa). It was uploaded today--still haven't received an email...but, no interview? Strange, considering I've never been to California and I wanted an the interview to scope out the campus to get a good feeling of the place and the people.
  9. has anyone heard anything from calarts or university of illinois at chicago?
  10. @theresamei exactly. Did u apply anywhere else?
  11. @theresamei i just started designing last summer. I come from a fine arts background. I believe I can grow more as an artist...adding a bit more variety in my work but especially in how I speak about it. This was my shortcoming, being so new to this field and not being able to fully elaborate on why my work is so visceral. Which sounds like an oxymoron. Who really knows. I'm happy they even gave a guppy like me a chance. :-)
  12. In my mind, I am already rejected. My chances of getting in this year are slim to none. I am already working on refining my work. It was some sort of fluke being granted an interview to this program. that being said, I did accept my wait list status and emailed them back. so I'm being realistic with the process, and I'm also waiting on risd to get back to me.
  13. Lol. That would be asinine. i did interview in-person, however, I did not ask how many other candidates were interviewing nor did I see any others while I was there. I am guessing it was something like 20-some too.
  14. I am wait listed as well. But seeing how I only started designing print media last summer...I'm really not surprised ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ even still, it's a strange limbo to be caught in.
  15. Mostly questions about my work and process, my influences, what I'm reading. it was friendly and fun.
  16. i had my interview today at risd, both 3 yr and 2 yr candidates were there. the school has been interviewing all week long.
  17. i think my interview went well. It was super casual and fun talking about design and process. I hope i get it, but then again they might like someone else more, so who knows. i really fell in love with the program/faculty/environment, it's just what i am looking for.
  18. just checked in my airbnb room.
  19. I received an invitation (around the second week of February) for an interview for the 3 year mfa in graphic design at risd. Did u apply to the 2 year program?
  20. My issue is, I'm from south Texas and I've never been around snow. There might be snow in New England the first week of March. And this is making me far more nervous than the interview itself. I don't know exactly what to wear, I'll have to go buy the proper attire. Do people wear long underwear for this sort of weather? I think I saw that on tv once. I'm truly lost.
