    Thanks @Rennnnn! Hope you hear from them soon! It seemed like they were calling a few people today. Idk what number I was down the line of calls. ??‍♂️

    @TheBarnOwl I did not have any contact with faculty or current MFA students before applying. I did however do a lot of research about who I would want to be working with, the curriculum, and recent graduates work from each program. I then incorporated all of that into my statements as I tailored each to every school I was applying to. I also watched a lot of video interviews and artist talks to “get to know” the professors at each school i.e. their interests in artists, writing, reviews, etc. That really helped in my decision making and application process bc I was unable to visit any of the schools I was applying to for financial reasons. So for me that extra research compensated for not being able to be at their open house, seeing the campuses in person, and meeting people in real life. Hope that helps btw. I applied to Yale (interviewing in Feb.) Columbia (interviewing in Mar.), UCLA (still waiting to hear back), RISD (still waiting), and SAIC (interviewing in Feb.).

    @Rennnnn Thanks! I applied for painting. To be honest I think they might be, as they have done in the past according to some of the older forums, but I did not ask. I was caught by surprise, bc I did not expect their decisions out so soon.

    Got a call from Columbia out of the blue today ? Hoping y’all are getting calls today as well! Wishing y’all the best!

    @Kkkkate @98Charleston Wow thanks y'all reall helps a lot! I be that water had veritaserum(Harry potter reference) Sorry about the no interviews y'all :/ I feel as though I need to share my situation. I have been 4 years since I last applied to grad school. I think when I first applied I was overly eager, but I lacked preparation and discipline. I applied to only three schools and missed the Yale application deadline bc I forgot about time zones... I used the same statement for everyone and did not tailor my statement to each school nor do any research. I majorly screwed up tbh. I learned from that though. I waited and made more work and this time around I spent a lot of time researching schools, professors I would want to work with, and each schools pros and cons. I definitely took my apps more seriously too. Tailored statement to each school, had my work documented professionally, and still doing tons of reading and research. I also had rejections all around that last time I applied and to be honest it was a little soul crushing. But here is the thing, I picked myself up dusted myself off (after some tears and sadness) and went right back to it. That extra time really allowed me to mature and grow and really focus on what I wanted. It it has been a rollercoater y'all, but it actually worked out better for me when I got rejected all those years ago. It was definitely a slap on the face and a wake up call. I am glad it happened and if I am being completely honest, I would not have done it any other way. I learned a lot more from my failure than if I would have gone to grad school at the time. I also did some soul searching back then and realized I was not ready. This time around I have a chance to make things count and I am going to do my best. That's all I can do. Thats all any of us can do right, do our best.

  14. Mr.PoopyButtHole

    Here is the link I was talking about from the 2016 Yale MFA: https://apply.art.yale.edu/portal/interview_painting
  16. Mr.PoopyButtHole
    Y'all I have been going through the 2016 YALE MFA page and I used some of those old links for interviews dates. I clicked and it went through (Don't schedule anything y'all it is just public info and not a confirmation that you will receive an interview. Look through the forum if you want more info). Looks like the interview dates will be February 26, 27, and 28. It also seems that tomorrow on Thursday, the fourth week since the deadline, some applicants will receive links to schedule interviews. Then more will receive the official invitation on Friday. Basing this on the 2016 forum, not %100 sure so please take this with a grain of salt. It does however seem that the fourth Friday from the application deadline decisions were sent out. So it looks like we will potentially know who gets an interview and rejection this Friday ??‍♂️

  22. Mr.PoopyButtHole
    Anyone get any hits from Yale on their google analytics account? It has been like three weeks now lol The suspense is getting to me!
  23. Mr.PoopyButtHole
    @Makerak Yuuuup so slow. I am already stressed from the anticipation... ? @Rennnnn No worries! Right back at ya! Are you all mainly located in the east coast?
  24. Mr.PoopyButtHole
    @Makerak When I applied three years ago I heard from RISD on the 19th of February. @Rennnnn I also applied to SAIC for painting and have not heard from them, but people from other departments like performance and art & tech have already. I participated in their online Q&A and they said by Feb.1st we should find out if we will be scheduled for an interview.
