    I was. Lilyan from Toronto. Were you?

    It's a very strong contender, but mostly I'm just shocked right now so I don't know what to think!

    @ruth: I was! Michelle from the midwest. I thought it might be you. :) It was great chatting with you that day, and I hope this is where you decide to go!

    @Rolando: Thank you!! This is indeed the school I've been anxiously waiting to hear from. Can't believe the wait is finally over.

    @Sophiab: Thank you! Seems like the excitement is catching all around this great forum.

    Congratulations to you all once again!

    Congrats on your acceptance!

    I was just thinking to myself today why people here don't seem to be very crazy about Cranbrook? I mean it's rated as one of the top art schools in the US. I didn't apply because I don't think I am ready for Cranbrook's no-course, self-directing learning/teaching method although I do enjoy a great level of freedom. Otherwise, it's an excellent school with excellent 2D program.

    Good luck to you with Cranbrook!

    Thank you, Jestem! I've been thinking the same thing, actually. I'm surprised that so few people on here want to study at Cranbrook.

    I was originally really wary of the program because it encourages such a liberal approach to art making (and I come from a really structured corporate background). After visiting and investigating the philosophy of the school, however, I feel like it's the perfect fit. I'm already really comfortable in a certain sector of design, so why not dive into the challenge of a program that pushes you to self-direct and explore new avenues.

    Here's hoping... Should know by Monday!

    Can I ask which school you're holding out for?

    Congrats on the acceptances too!

    Thanks, Ruth! I'm head over heals for the program at Cranbrook, so of course its the only school i've applied to that hasn't released decisions yet. The wait is KILLING me! so anxious..

    I saw that you're in GD too... which schools are you interested in?

    heard columbia was interviewing this week or next. so if you hadn't heard a word don't hold your breath. You figure once they made their selections to interview they could at least do the courtesy of letting the rest of know.

    Don't give up! I went through the same thought process when I heard that two of my schools were interviewing and I hadn't been contacted... Nevertheless, I was just offered an outright position at one and an alternate position at the other. Not all schools interview every potential candidate, so you may still be in the running. Good luck!

    Hey! I was also just notified that I'm an alternate for MICA, I'm a little bummed because it's my top choice. I'm thinking about calling and asking what number I am on the waitlist...

    I don't see why it would hurt to call. Shows them that you're really interested and gives you an exact idea of where things stand. Good luck to you!!

    No way!!

    congratulations!! :) I'm waiting to hear from them,

    were they both notices through the mail?

    Thanks! I'm pretty excited. It's great to finally receive responses, no matter the answer. Seems like all of the other disciplines announced decisions much faster than GD.

    Good luck to you, too! Hopefully your wait won't last much longer. Both came in the mail... I'm in the midwest, so I'm not sure how that factors into wait periods.

    obviously gd and painting/mixed media are totally different deals, but how are you leaning at this point between cca and calarts?

    Well.... If I had to choose at this very moment, I guess I would lean toward CalArts. There is a particular faculty member that I'm interested in studying with, and I feel more vested there bc I met with students and faculty in person during the interview process. The studio resources are also phenomenal across departments.

    Honestly though, I'm holding out for an answer from a school that hasn't released decisions yet, so I'm not extremely committed to either of these places. Sorry I can't be of more help!

    Oh, well they sent me an email requesting that I interviewed with them, it read:

    "The MFA Designer as Author application review committee ... are pleased to let you know that your application has been selected from over 260 submissions as a first round candidate for the class of 2012. The next step will be an interview with one of the co-chairs. ..."

    does that help?

    Hey! I interviewed for the same program. Good luck to you. Keep us posted!

    Interview: Tyler, Hunter

    Waiting: SVA, USC

    Anyone else hear from these schools? Anyone have any idea what Tyler's interview process is like? I only know I need to give a 15 minute presentation on my work to the sculpture department. yikes.

    Hi November, I interviewed at SVA last week and have met a few ppl who are interviewing there this week. I'm not sure if this is standard across all departments, but they are supposed to send out final decisions between April 1 & 3.

    Good luck as the next few weeks wind down, and especially with your upcoming Tyler interview!
