So now that we are here, here's the pink elephant in the room. How do you guys plan on affording grad school? What are your strategies? Whatever you do think hard before taking out a loan to pay international tuition unless it is absolutely the route you want to take. I am super poor and really hoping for a really good deal economically.

@minakoruk yeah I agree with you. Just for clarity, I'm not saying to make yourself invisible but rather to curate your opinions and chose who has access to certain thoughts. For instance I am black and queer, I like to think about myself as being somewhat radical. A few weeks ago I decide to make friends only, things that would spook out someone that doesn't know me, that way my public appearance isn't as nuanced. I was critical on white male supremacy and white male privilege directly after the election seeing as how his opponent was lambasted for things that really wasn't even her fault or doesn't even affect her ability to lead. I think that can give people an unfair shot at who I am as a person, so only people that know me have access to those thoughts. People who don't know me might think that I just don't like white people when that's not true I just find that system that privileges whiteness as problematic. To avoid confusion only my friends can engage in these topics with me on places like facebook but i do have everyday things like show information, residencies, articles, daily activities listed on my Facebook etc. But to be honest my politics are embedded in my art, so there's no hiding that.

@sylviecerise @minakoruk ? ? ? Thank You guys! Thankfully there are Americans that care. @Slowly Great question. That might not be something that will come up during your admissions process but definitely when/if you interview for an F-1 visa at the U.S embassy. I interviewed for a B-1/B-2 a few months ago and the interviewer literally was asking me about an art project I worked on almost three months ago and why I did it in the U.S? He purused my website and I am guessing had some level of access to my Facebook. (I started making all of my statuses friends only henceforth). Especially considering how nebulous this current administration is in regards to immigration, I would curate your social media appearance a bit. Sucks, i know.

Continue to tell your story @kindaafraid! What you do and who you are has purpose in the world and it will make sense in the right place and right time. Even though I am not Muslim and can never understand what it is like is to be one, I'll continue to support those like you. Admission is not able to discriminate on the basis of nationality, religion, sexual orientation etc. Just when/if you get accepted be in touch with International Services at your university. They will do all that they can to help you. As for Trump, I could be not giving enough fucks about him because of my cultural privilege, but I think he's doing everything to please a certain demographic of America. Thankfully there are freedom fighters out there that will continue to resist. I have a feeling that Trump will accomplish very little and America will be a battleground for the next four years. Good Luck! Always here to chat if need be.

Don't take this the wrong way, but what does that even mean? "references architecture" During undergrad that phrase was thrown around so much that I am always suspicious when it is used. Architecture is both a broad and expansive word and field.- 2,106 replies

Hey Guys, I remember being in undergrad and sometimes feeling so distant from my peers because I was an international student. Well, here I am again on this voyage about to feel even weirder, this time as a grad student. I thought that we should have a space where we could be able to share experiences, answer questions, give advice, or just a space where you say what makes you feel ok about yourself. Good luck everyone! Disclaimer: I worked with International Services during my undergrad but this does not make me an immigration official. Although I can give my opinion on certain situations based on past experience, I recommend contacting your school directly about these questions.

@Cengstro Tameka Norris is pretty rad! A friend of mine is doing grad school in Ceramics there. @Vespertine Congratulations! My advice, don't be bullied into making a decision. I would try to wait out as much as possible to see what other options that are available and take the one that best suits you; come on, folks at Tyler know this. They've been to grad school. None the less Congratulations and good luck with the rest of your applications.- 2,106 replies

I got hits from many places i didn't apply to UC Irvine, U Wisconsin, SCAD, CCA, Temple U. I did get a hit from New Haven but it was on the day the application was due. I highly doubt that it was from a review committee. Que Sera, Sera. Oh and lots of not sets

Poodle-Doodle replied to thebestartistintheworld's topic in Visual
Well I could see why. But in my experiences, Tyler/Temple was very generous. The future teacher faculty fellowship was specifically created to balance the lack of diverse personalities/identities in academia. People of color, queer, disabled (not sure with this one) applicants are nominated for this. Full tuition waived + stipend + TA-ship doesn't get any better than that. Plus there are university fellowships which students are nominated for upon admission. These cover just tuition. Of course not everyone is going to get them, because all universities are businesses but Tyler Grad Admissions tries its best to help students. Don't mind the noise in the market.- 2,106 replies
