Congrats, so exciting!! I submitted my request to defer admission to next fall (hopefully it'll be approved)

For anyone who got into RISD, did you get any financial aid breakdown in your award letter? There's none on mine and if this basically means there's no support, I'm unfortunately going to need to decline.

WOW, CONGRATS!!!!

I'm 32. You're definitely not old. I made a switch at 30.

Received "nomination acceptance" letter from USC Roski for the MFA in Design. Anyone else applied to this program? I was a bit hesitant to apply because of the fiasco in 2015, but I just went for it. Curious to hear more about the current state of the department.

I didn't apply to ArtCenter, but I believe CCA should start rolling out decisions starting this week and onwards, according to the interviewer roughly 2 weeks ago.

I have a feeling the financial aid isn't going to be great just based on anecdotal information on the web ☹️ fingers crossed...

I also had the interview last week with CCA and I asked when we should expect to hear back, and I was told it would be about "2 weeks" from then. So I'm guessing we should be getting some answers sometime next week. Good luck!!!!

YAY!! Congrats to you too! Feeling so good right now 😄😁

Got accepted into RISD's MFA in GD!!! 🎊

I received an acceptance from CalArts for the MFA Graphic Design -- any others? Price is scary so I'll just see what comes out of the financial aid, but super excited to see success in the first round.

Hello all MSW applicants and students, I was curious about admission to UCLA's MSW program, as to their academic and professional expectations. I can't really find the stats, so I'm unsure if this school is in my target range. I'm sure there's tons of these threads, but heck I'll go for it. Here's a little about myself: got my BA in psychology from USC in Dec 2015 with an overall GPA of 3.4, major is 3.43 (last 60 units are at 3.42). I've always maintained 3.5+ until senior year where I was dealing with family issues. I've worked as an Admin Assistant for 3.5 years during school, volunteered to teach a middle school course in social sciences for one semester, participated in biobehavioral research at Keck Hospital for one semester, and another semester of gender inequality research in films. During school, I also worked part-time for 4 months at a inpatient mental health facility, then I worked full-time at a drug rehab for 6 months senior year before landing my current position as a Housing Case Manager for homeless population. I expect to keep this job for over a year before committing to grad school. I really love this line of work and I can't wait to pursue my MSW in order to enhance my career and abilities to provide services, eventually going for my LCSW. UCLA and other Cal States are my top priorities right now. I can't seem to find admissions stats for UCLA's MSW, so I was hoping to see if other folks who got in or are applying this Fall might be able to give me some pointers. It would be so appreciated and helpful. Thank you so much for reading this!
