Also heard about the big names in the mix for photo. One of them is one of my favorite artists. I'm glad there's more thorough article coming out. Everyone i talked to there being really loves the community and no place is perfect - and yes I hope this press gets things moving because that needs to happen. I was accepted off the Columbia waitlist this week, and turned it down. In a perfect world I would go, but I simply cannot afford it, even with the biggest scholarship I've heard they give. Best of luck to everyone going. I'll definitely check out the open studios and shows when they're up!

This all happened this year, yeah. I can pm you on more.

Yeah Columbia seems like it's a mess. It was originally my top choice- sort of relieved I got waitlisted, because I probably would've taken the offer, without really thinking about the problems or really taking into consideration what the price tag would do to me out of sheer faith in the program and the (largely absent, but I was hopeful) faculty. I spoke to a faculty member about the situation shortly after and they said I "dodged a bullet"
-
Hunter people- I finally declined my offer, which came with some funding. Hope someone has good news coming their way.
-
Got the waitlist email from Columbia today too. All done with apps. Yale (painting) - accepted Hunter (combined media)- accepted Columbia (new genres) - waitlisted Prob will withdraw Hunter. Not a lot of time left to act for Columbia. So if I don't hear anything in the next week I'll withdraw from waitlist.

I asked at my interview and they said that if you don't hear anything back right away, it's a good thing. They notify rejected and waitlisted students first.

Anyone else getting spambox emails containing "acceptance letters" from the National Honor Society? I got one that references a school I applied to in the subject line, but have not heard back from the school itself haha. Made me do a double take Assuming cash grabbing scam

Columbia held New Genres interviews last Friday.

hey @rebkhan, so you were right the first time (basically) and i was wrong. i contacted hunter today and they said "you may bring the ten images printed from your slide room application and if you have more work you may bring up to ten more images in addition so it could potentially add up to 20 images total"
-
for what department? my email says "10 print outs, no larger than 8½ x 11, of any new work completed since the SlideRoom portfolio submission along with the images submitted to SlideRoom." Doesn't seem like they all have to be new. Also, the passport sized required photo thing seems strange.

I think that applying again is a good idea and also shows persistence, and a lot of people who get interviews/ get in did just that. Also, I think after maturity, skill and ideas are considered, with Yale it's really up to chance. As it's been said here, they're curating a class- so a rejection should not be taken as a personal offense.

First timer here. Congrats to everyone else who got interviews! I have not scheduled my interview yet. I'm wondering if it's wise to hold out a few days to see if I get any requests from any other East coast schools to plan my trip, but it also might not be smart to wait..
