    I also didn't get in. They told me that they won't be sending me a rejection letter, but rather change my status to a "no action" and then asked me to consider to reapply next year.. really not what I wanted to hear...

    Hi. I'm also waiting to hear from UT Austin for painting. Looking at last year's applicants, it seems like everyone was notified before March 3rd. So hopefully we will hear this week.

    Hi! Firstly, congratulations on the interview! From my experience the interview was very friendly. They want to know about what inspires you and why graduate studies (and spesifically graduate studies at Pratt) is right for you at this stage of your life. You get the opportunity to ask questions, and they are very open and honest when answering. You shouldn't stress about it, they are very nice and just want to get to know you better. I am sure that you will do great.

    Yea, even with a big scholarship, going to Pratt will end up with me making a lot of dept. I am still waiting to hear from UT Austin. If i get in at UT Austin, im going to have to make a very touch decision...I was very impressed with UT Austin and I am really hoping for good news, but in the end I think it is going to come down to funding. But congratulations again and good luck for Temple! Keep me in the loop.

    Yes, I was also rejected at Yale. I've tried not to take it personally, its insanely hard to get into Yale. It hurts, but in the end it's all about going to a place that is a good fit, both for the university and for you. I figured that everything happens for a reason and that the best fit institution is still out there!! All those other institutions have really really great programs ??.

    Congratulations with all the interviews!!! You're on a roll!

    Since everyone is giving updates: International student. Applied at 5 schools for painting: Yale - rejected UT Austin - interviewed February 1st Pratt Institute - interviewed February 20th VCU - rejected UCLA - no news, but expecting rejection since I didn't get a TOEFL waiver from UCLA and didn't do the TOEFL (got the waiver from the other institutions).

    With the really bad exchange rate at the time of application, I simply couldn't afford to take the TOEFL. I received a waiver for it at 3 of the 4 schools I applied for and decided that the one school that didn't want to give the waiver wasn't as important for me (as it is really really hard to get in there - I had no idea if I even stood a change since it is my first time applying for masters) so I decided not to do the TOEFL. I will probably receive my rejection for that school soon, but they were so rude to me in our email conversations that I don't really see it as a loss. Luckily I had two really good interviews at really great institutions, so just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

    Don't stress too much about it. I also had my interview today. They were super friendly, and even though my interview was about 20mins, it could have easily been only 10. They were done after about 10 minutes and then asked if I wanted to ask them something... and I had a few things I wanted to know, so we spent about 10 minutes just talking about my questions and not theirs. It's not necessarily bad if they know that you are nervous, because it means that it's is really important to you - and that's important for them.
