Oh no ?

Anyone heard from RISD 3yr GD? Also, does anyone have an idea about the acceptance rate for the 3yr GD?

I've applied to RISD's 3yr GD and I'm so anxious!! I saw that someone got an interview request and I'm freaking out even more. Already got rejected by two amazing schools for 3yr GD

HELP!!! Im finishing my bachelors in something completely unrelated to graphic design but now i really really really want to do graphic design. I have 0 experience in it apart from a few posters/invites i designed for my college department. I really want to learn graphic design from scratch and feel that the best way i can learn is to go to school for it. I have a few options: OPTIONS: 3 year MFA in Graphic Design (schools like RISD, CalArts, CCA) Post-Bacc at MICA 2 year MS in Communication Design at Pratt 2 year Associate's Degree(AAS) in Graphic Design at Parsons (know more: http://www.newschool.edu/parsons/aas-graphic-design-programs/) 2 year AAS at Pratt where after the AAS, I can transfer to the 3rd year (Junior level) of the BFA in Comm Design) Second Bachelors in Graphic Design Is a 3 year MFA too far fetched? Is a post bacc a waste of time & money? Is an Associate's Degree worth it? Help!

Hi, I'm currently in the third and final year of my Bachelor's Degree in something totally unrelated to Graphic Design, in India. I don't want to do anything related to my Bachelors in the future and want to do something related to Graphic Design/Illustration after I graduate. I've always been into art and design since a child and I was seriously considering Graphic Design in school. I even got accepted at an Art School with a Foundation year but I chose to stay in India as I got into one of the best colleges in Liberal Arts here. Even now, I find myself doodling in class all the time, have big ideas in my head and volunteer for small college design stuff. I don't have much experience apart from art classes in school, winning a few small college level competitions and designing invites, posters etc for college events. I thoroughly enjoy design but lack any kind of formal training and don't know any technicalities related to Graphic Design. I simply use a cheap knockoff of Photoshop to design stuff, which I am really passionate about. People praise my work all the time and a number of people have told me to pursue design in the future. I feel like I have the potential but lack any proper education in Design. I absolutely don't want to study further in India as the Design scene here isn't too strong and want to learn GD from scratch. I researched a lot and found the following options, but am not sure if i'll be accepted for an MFA at my level, being only 20 years old. OPTIONS: 3 year MFA in Graphic Design (schools like RISD, CalArts, CCA) Post-Bacc at MICA 2 year MS in Communication Design at Pratt 2 year AAS in Graphic Design at Parsons 2 year AAS at Pratt where after the two year AAS, I can transfer to the 3rd year (Junior level) of the BFA in Comm Design) Second Bachelors in Graphic Design It would be amazing if I could get some advice about this as I am thinking about this all the time and really need some direction and clarity. Also, if someone could suggest a few schools in Europe, UK etc, it would be great! As of now, whatever schools I researched about in Europe/UK, they require a lot of experience to apply at the Masters Level.
