    MFA 2017 All Art ADMISSIONS freak-out forum!!!!!!!!

    Congrats to everyone getting offers and interviews! I have been stressing but it would be worse without all ya'll. 

    I got rejects from Yale, Northwestern, and UCONN.

    All Painting/Studio 

    UCLA, status still says "no decision," I've heard nothing from PennDesign or Hunter. (Or anyone else) status' all say "submitted" or something like that. So I am holding on to some hope

    i had an interview with upenn today! i feel like it actually went well (which might be a bad sign) but, they were really casual and laughing and interested! And I was nervous and babbling, and I wish I wasn't because I would have loved to talked about my work. but i don't remember what i said. And at some point I said something and i saw the one person not like what i said. I could tell by her gestures. yikes.  anyway, they said they hope to see me at the open house. and I will SO be there. but yeah....

    that was kinda scary.

    good luck everyone :)

    Congrats! The part you don't remember is probably when you were nailing it :) I was wonder how you were notified - I haven't heard from Penn yet :(

    Congratulations! I just got my rejection letter from Northwestern. 

    I will be interviewing with PennDesign as well. It's a fairly long drive for me, but I want to see the facilities so I think I will make it work. 

    I also just got rejection from Northwestern. 

    Congrats on PennDesign interview! I haven't heard from them yet...

    MFA Studio Art - Freak Out

    in Visual

    Thanks for the info. This is a great help. I had no idea there was discontent among the students regarding GSA policies. A larger student body with limited access to limited studio space is a valid gripe. But the Idea of studying in the UK is attractive enough for me to see these limits as challenges instead of deal breakers. I am admittedly enamored by the “Glasgow miracle.” J However, the bit about GSA increasing acceptance by 25% to help fund the after-the-fire rebuild tells me funding is less likely and no funding means no-go for me.

    I wonder what the rent is like in Glasgow. Do people often require flat-mates or are single occupancies affordable?

     

    Thanks again for taking the time to respond and good luck with RCA!!

    Hello everybody,

    I am here to freak out with y'all. I have lurked since last cycle am happy to share this experience in all of its gut wrenching glory. I applied to 9 programs. Points of freaking rumination are as follows:

    1. Rejected from everywhere. 2. Accepted to top choice w/no funding. 3. Accepted only to last choice with full funding. 4.Did I get the right transcripts to the right places. 5. Was my dumb essay about punk rock related in anyway to diversity. 6.If it is all a bust do I go again next cycle. 6. Am I too old to be pursuing this. 

    And another thing:

    Does anybody know about the MFA Program at Glasgow? I applied because one of my Proffs strongly recommended it but I am nervous about committing to a program I know little about (if given the opportunity) Any insight would be appreciated. 

    Good Luck Everybody!

    MFA Studio Art - Freak Out

    in Visual

    Posted

    Has anyone had a any experience with Glasgow School of Art?  One of my Professors (from Scotland) is suggesting I go to Glasgow if I can. So I am putting together a Application for the MFA/Studio Art program. I like the diversity of the work in the on-line gallery and the the idea of studying outside of the US is exciting. I am having a difficult time finding out information about the usual grad school stuff, other than what is posted by the school. Funding, positive student experience, studio space, etc. They are part of the International Schools that accept Federal Student Loans Program. I was able to send my FAFSA vis school code.
