I did! I applied to four other schools. How about yourself?

Nah, don't be uncomfortable! Keep those always on deck. There are many gems hidden in old work. Something you thought of then, may be super brilliant for a future project. Enjoy the process and the process of execution rather than the end results. Keep spewing out the "bad/corny" ideas out till you reach a golden one.

Hey, graphic design is achievable no matter what background you come from, so don't feel as though you are behind any of the applicants. I think what really matters is how you use graphic design to communicate to the rest of the world. There are three big things to keep in mind: what you want to design, how you design it, and why you want to design it. But most importantly, stay opinionated (aka having a voice, your voice). Speaking about your work takes a lot of practice and a lot of audiences. I hope you have the chance to partake in it, because being able to verbally communicate your ideas/concepts is much more significant than just having the chops. But be proud of yourself. You showcased your work to some of the most renowned designers in the WORLD. That's a great experience to add to the books.

Apologies, don't mean to use "worse" in its "worse ways" (if that makes sense) but more so to paint an exaggerated picture for those who are wait listed. But I agree with you a 100% as you depicted what I was meaning to say. Congratulations on your acceptance, nonetheless!

There were actually 16 interviews. And four on the wait list as for now (well based off this forum). There are usually 7 slots for the 3-year, and 10 slots for the 2-year. However, not too sure what the yield is looking like this year. Also, I doubt it's based entirely off your design skills, because I come from a heavy design background, and I still wasn't selected in their first-group for their HIGHLY curated class. It all depends on the committee and what they wish each class should be like. Someone could've had a worse portfolio than you and received admission, but they wanted a class that was incredibly diverse. Who knows. We could never know what was going through the committee' minds. Anyway, congratulate yourselves for not receiving rejection letters, and instead having the opportunity to being in limbo! Good luck on everything else! @rexkingiv
