Same here! My partners is very happy that we aren't moving to LA lol. He was dreading the driving. @Gwhar1 I agree—their letter was quite nice. It felt a lot more warm than UCI's rejection haha

 

Congrats! Yes, I'm traveling in LA without a car now, killing me... BTW do you plan to go to the open studio on 4/1?

Yay!!!! Glad to hear it went well & was comfortable! 

I just got to New Haven, freaking out continuing. Practiced muttering my presentation on the train ride, probably creeped a few people out. 

 

I feel you, I was talking to myself whole day that I almost lost my voice during the interview, lol... But good luck! I'm sure you'll do a great job!

Yeah, that's super misleading! Sheesh. 

You should definitely email them so they at least know it's a major factor for you. If another admitted student turns down their offer, maybe they could redirect some of that funding.

Also great point from @dmirko. Even if you can't get in-state tuition for your first year, you should be able to qualify for it in your second year as a new full-time resident. Could help soften the blow. 

Congrats and good luck! Glad you had a good experience, some people make it sound like the interviews are super intense...

 

Thank you! Perhaps other departments are more intense, but photo's interview was a fun one.

Interviewed at Yale today, the interview was casual and everyone was nice. It was a great experience no matter what the final result going to be. Finally, time to get drunk!

[Yale MFA Photography Interview]

Going to have the interview for Yale photo next week too, just flew to U.S, super nervous. I heard they threw out questions like "what's your favorite music style" during the interview... Not very formal, and definitely not something that can be prepared for:( I guess try to know as much as possible about their faculty and 1st-year grads will be helpful, also prepare good questions.

Anyway, good luck!!!!!!!

Did you do it in person or by skype? And if you did it in person, did you bring new work or things to show them while there?

I did by Skype, and they asked me to describe work I'm working on recently.

[2017 MFA Interview Thread]

Thank you turnip so much for sharing this! Very helpful. So I did my first interview with UPenn today, almost all the questions they asked were covered here:

_____

What's your work about? Explain the (cultural) influence you mentioned in your statement?

How do you see your work develop in the MFA program?

How do you deal with location changes (since I shot some of my work in my homeland)? 

Why this program?

Favorite contemporary artists?

Questions for us?

Hope this is helpful for you all;)
