    I just got a Skype interview request from UCI over e-mail!

    I heard last year they required an in-person interview for everyone, and wondering of they changed their policy this year. I didn't get an option to choose in-person, so wondering if anyone has received anything different. 

    Congratulations!! No news in my inbox. Checked out your website -- awesome work. Saw you were at Pioneer Works -- my studio was just a few blocks away on Dikeman/Van Brunt (Supersmith) & spent a couple of years making furniture above the key lime pie shop by the the pier in Red Hook. :) Congrats again, hoping for myself, no news is not bad news.

  2. I just had my 1st interview. It went really well! It was for NYC affordable housing lottery! Quick bit about me: I've lived in Brooklyn for the past 7 years and am married w/ 2 young daughters. We'be been living in the same 1br 4th floor walkup for the past 6... 

    I've been applying for these sorts of things for years & was finally selected for an interview (not gaurunteed).

    If we are chosen for this rent controlled 2br apt in our neighborhood (greenpoint/wburg) -- that is $700 less a month then what we pay now.... I don't know how this might effect the grad school decision, if accepted.

    Thank you forum, for letting me vent this new variable/"freak out".

    All good problems.

  3. @pdh12 you're applying literary, no?

    @turkeyslug yeah Iowa! Tho, not painting -- ceramics. Im quite familiar with the department tho -- John Dilg is/has been making really amazing work (and others on faculty). Additionally, the Grant Wood Fellowship brings in a rolling cast of really great artists/teachers (they teach one class/contribute to grad workshops etc + are afforded a studio). This year Tameka Norris is there -- her work is fantastic.

    Know of any MFA Sculpture programs that I can still apply to folks? It is late in the game but I unfortunately had a few setback. I still want to get some applications in for this cycle though. I will go anywhere yet, like the rest of the applicants, prefer fundings. Any and all help and suggestions would be GREAT!!! Thank you in advance!

    U of Iowa accepts until 2/1 I believe.

    Hey Ya'll- is anybody applying with a ceramics portfolio? What programs are you applying to? It can be a pretty different situation for us ceramics people- just wondering what you guys think about how the approach differs. Good luck to all! 

    Im just applying to Hunter (clay and casting) and Columbia Sculpture this year. Maybe NYU?

    I applied ceramics to UCLA & Iowa.

    UC-Riverside - not media specific, Northwestern - not specific & UC-Irvine - Sculpture.

    My approach was much the same for all 5 apps. Majority of images were my most recent ceramic/sculptural & then ended with some furniture, social practice, performance stuff... same artist statement for ea.
