I haven't heard anything either uuuggghhh called last week and the person I talked to said they're sending all letters out on April 1, so a week or so after that we should hear. I guess that means they are sending them in the mail

if only! I wasn't offered an interview....but haven't been rejected either

Has anyone heard from SAIC painting this week?? I know people have been accepted and rejected already...I haven't heard anything! Called them a couple weeks ago and they said the rest of the decisions would be out this week... anyone? I'm not super optimistic since I didn't interview, but I just want to know!

Ok...so here's a scenario for you guys: If you get into a program that you think is perfect for you, that has been one of your top choices since the beginning, but you have to take out $40,000 in loans the first year and possibly the second year (but there are opportunities for further funding the 2nd year) do you go? The thing i keep thinking is I can't imagine getting into a program I like as much and that would present me with the more opportunities by waiting another year (I've been out of undergrad for 6 years). So do I go in debt for the amazing program? Also I don't have another offer to leverage for more aid...should I still try asking for more? Also, there is the debt forgiveness program where if you work in a public university or nonprofit for 10 years (which is already my plan anyway) they forgive direct federal loans Not sure...usually I have a gut feeling about decisions like this...but I just don't with this one

haven't heard from SAIC at all. no rejection no interview. ugh sooo nerve racking. i just want to know

got an email from arnold j kemp at vcu. i didn't get in but he invited me to apply for the summer studio program with a waived application fee. that would be coool...but i can't afford the $5,000 fee to attend

If you didn't like the program and the others are too expensive, maybe wait a year and reapply to schools with good funding? Thats what I would do. I don't think you should go to a school just because its free if you don't like the program.

Yeah!! Me tooo! so excited

ugh got my rejection email from rutgers today. did you hear anything?

I'm hoping rejection via e-mail and acceptance/waitlist via snail mail. seems like the acceptance by phone was an outlier?

Yeah...I got nervous and didn't ask! But looking at past years results, its seems like they mail stuff...

broke down and called Rutgers. asked when I could expect a decision for MFA painting, she said 'some have gone out and the rest are rolling out so pretty soon. that's as much as i can tell you'

anyone else get the rejection email from University of Illinois Urbana Champaign?

just got an email from U of Illinois -Urbana Champaign...didn't get in. pretty bummed.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!! congrats! are you going to do it???
