  1. Hello my fellow waiting crew,

    So today I received an email from my apartment complex notifying me I have a package waiting for me in the office. Naturally, I wonder if it is an admissions package/ envelope, right?! So I ask if they can tell me who it is from before I step out of work and drive down to the complex to see this wonder in person. ....

    It's from See's Candies. First time in my FEMALE LIFE I've been disappointed about receiving free chocolate... . I didn't think that was possible... sigh.

  2. Hi Archies!

    I got my B.Arch from USC and I'm applying for an MFA this year. BUT i thought I would add my boyfriends stats on here since he's applying for an M. Arch in case this helped anyone and maybe someone had some info on the schools he's not heard from.

    Applied: LSU, U. of Houston, UTexas- Arlington, UTexas- San Antonio, U. of Florida.

    Accepted: LSU via phone call on March 8th

    and has not heard anything else. Anyone heard back from any of the other schools??

  3. I heard back from LSU a couple of weeks ago, maybe the first week of March or second week. I got a short letter in the mail and that was it.

    I really want to know my chances on the wait list but at the same time, I'm trying not to bother them. It's been weeks since I found out anything at all.

    Congrats on your acceptance!

    Thanks!! Although I'm holding out on LSU as it is my first choice. UT San Antonio told me they were still working on the paper work and would be forwarding the final decisions to the graduate school within the next week or so. Good luck and I hope you hear something soon!

  4. Don't know which program you mean, but as of last week LSU Painting had offered 3 of the 4 assistantships and is reserving the last one and is also hoping for more to be funded by the school. They are reviewing and/or interviewing both for the last TA(s) as well as any who wouldn't mind attending without an assistantship. Also as far as I know some of the offered haven't accepted yet, so more spots could open up. You may want to contact them to see where you stand, but I think if you're applying to Painting you still have a shot.

    Thanks for all the info, although I applied for MFA in Graphic Design. They told me at the beginning of the month that I had been waitlisted and that I should hear from them within a couple of weeks. Still waiting...

  5. Hey I just got my acceptance letter yesterday and was wondering if anyone else on here is going to LSU?

    RoRo

    Awsome! Congrats! What program are you going for? I'm on the waiting list for MFA in Graphic Design and my boyfriend is going for his M. in Architecture.

  6. does anyone have more recent advice on Houston? where to live, cost of living, good coffee places?

    Hi, I currently live in Houston and I came here two years ago from LA. The cost of living can be as low as $500 dlls for a one bedroom apt, in an so so part of town (over by the 610 west) you can pay about 900-1000 a month for a really nice/ clean/ good managed property one bedrrom apartment (AMLI, Avistele) in the downtown/ river oaks area and its also an 8dlls max cab ride from anywhere you would want to go out to at night. I think the best areas to live are montrose/ river oaks. washington. Some places charge up to $1,300 (midtown) a month but its really unecessary and they aren't any nicer that the ones that are 300-400 dlls cheaper. All rent here includes trash water and parking. So it can really range depending on what you want. You probably want to stay away from areas south of town by the Hobby airport or the Reliant Center.

    Good coffee places you've got Epicure cafe and Inversion Coffee.

    Let me know if you're curious about anything else! Going somewhere new can be crazy, I came here without knowing anything about the city or anyone that lived here and found everything out the hard way so i'd be glad to help!

  7. I applied to the following MFA programs in Printmaking:

    Georgia

    Georgia State

    Florida

    Louisiana State

    the results:

    Georgia- wait list

    Florida- wait list

    LSU- rejected

    I had a phone interview around the 1st of March with Georgia State and they told me they were going to make a quick decision and I'm still waiting to hear back.

    Does anyone know what the chances are of making it off a wait list? Georgia is my first choice and I know that their program is really small. They emailed me over two weeks ago to tell me I was on the wait list and I emailed them to find out where I was on the list and they never got back to me. Their email says that who ever got accepted has until April 15th to reply. Florida's deadline for those who were accepted to reply is May 8th.

    I am now regretting that I didn't apply to more schools. I am worried that I won't get in anywhere.

    Its nice to hear from someone that applied to some of the same schools as me. This is me so far:

    UTexas, Arlington- Accepted

    UFlorida- Rejected

    UTexas, San Antonio- No word

    LSU- Waitlisted

    I wish I knew the chances of getting off of a waiting list because the the wait is driving me crazy, so if anyone has any info please share . But can I ask you how and when did you hear back from LSU? I applied for an MFA in Graphic Design and I was told I was waitlisted on March 9th and that I should hear back in a couple of weeks.

    Thanks!

  8. Hi Ya'll I'm new here. I did not apply to extremely pretigious East coast schools, I went to undergrad at USC so I thought I would focus on the south for an MFA. In case anyone applied to these schools here are my stats:

    Univ. Florida- rejected

    Univ. Texas, Arlington- accepted

    LSU- Waitlisted

    Univ. Texas, San Antonio- No word

    Anyone have any info from UTA, LSU, or UTSA?

    Thanks!
