just got an acceptance to Pratt, a little late!!! Pratt vs Parsons? any opinions??

just got waitlisted for SVA (MFA painting), I got Into Parsons but SVA is my top choice, does anyone know how the process works?? I have to let Parsons know by April 15th, how long do you think I should wait to hear back from SVA?? I was told it is a pretty short waitlist but I don't wanna blow off Parsons on a hope that people will turn down their acceptance. Anyone have a similar situation??

Congrats on getting onto Parsons, I was accepted into Parsons last week for MFA painting, I toured their studios and met some faculty in November and they were all very nice. The studios are medium size but it seemed like it would be a good place to work. It will most likely be the school I will go to. I haven't heard much about it from students or alumni so I would be interested to hear what the alumni you emailed says about the program. Do you know how the merit based scholarships work? Did you receive any scholarship info with your acceptance letter or has anyone said anything to you?

this forum is great! it's good to see there are so many of you going through the same thing I am. here's my results so far for MFA painting Accepted: Parsons- Interviewed by phone 2/27, Accepted via email 3/9, got official letter on 3/11 Rejected: NYU- by mail 3/9 Waiting to hear: SVA- my top choice Pratt- Columbia- (not interviewed so most likely rejected) Hunter- (not interviewed so most likely rejected) Does anyone know how merit based scholarships work? would I have received that info with my acceptance packet or does that stuff come separately?
