@gimly @shypup Is it appropriate to ask advice or see a portfolio, later in the year, after hopeful you would be accepted fully? I didn’t get in but I learned a lot form the experience and what I need to improve. I do have a lot to improve how I went about it. Nevertheless, I still obsess over it a lot. I guess it is normal. I still hope to get in one day.
It’s the first time ever I reply to an MFA program and I only applied to Yale. I got rejected. I do feel it in my stomach, however, I guess I have to get used to the fact that I can be rejected, and if I want to be a professional artist I will probably be rejected many times in different places. So I learned something. Good luck all. If I want to try again do I have to wait an entire year? And do they put me in a separate file as someone who was rejected already? Does this affect the next outcome? Who knows. . I wonder if there’s a way to learn of why I got rejected so I could better prepare myself next time.
Wow you applied twice and you are going for a third time? I will be so humiliated already. It’s not easy theee times but I give you all the credit in the world.
I don’t know how to reply here to some individual comments so I am just responding to all at once. Firstly, yes I applied to painting. Secondly, I had no idea I have to apply for FASFS and stuff. I figured I’ll do it if I get in. I hope it won’t be too late. Finally; I wish I’d know about this forum earlier so that I wouldn’t be alone. But at least I have it now.
Let’s see if I get an interview.
All best.
Hay Fellows. I applied to painting and sculpture at YALE. I am also anxiously waiting. But they said early February. I assume this could mean several days. I also don’t put my hopes too high. I am an adult and will have to take it as it comes. As per this website, I only found this now but that’s a good thing. Otherwise I’d be here every day.
