  1. I'm in the same boat, really. I thought I might as well interview and maybe there's some great funding that I don't know about lol. Doesn't hurt to find out!
  2. Just had my MassArt video interview. It went exactly 30 minutes and was hosted by only two interviewers. Questions they asked: Why do you want to go to MassArt? Why do you want to go to graduate school? What will you gain from it? What does your art communicate? Why do you make art? Are there any artists or authors that inspire your work? They also asked me to choose a piece I submitted to my portfolio and talk about it with them. Over all, it was probably the best interview experience I have had so far. They asked me some very important and deep questions about my work and it was actually really refreshing. I've been getting interviews that were kind of streamline, just asking generic questions they ask everyone. But MassArt got really deep and conceptual with me and I got to talk about some really important things in my art that I really haven't gotten the opportunity to talk about with previous interviewers. Pretty good experience, but be ready for some tough questions about your work! Good luck!
  3. I know Joan Giroux was there, the other names were a little too muffled for me to pick up, but one of the men speaking had an accent. Geez I'm getting really worried about that now. I emailed them about assistantships when I was applying so they should know I was interested. Hopefully it's just coincidence bc I would really need that. I did apply for the Fine Arts MFA so I'm not sure what y'all applied for and if each department had different interviewers.
  4. Thanks, I definitely have some growing to do in my art still, which is why I'm pursuing my MFA. Hopefully that's the case, because I am relying on some sort of assistantship in order to afford any of the programs! Hope we get some good news!
  5. Yeah mine was about 11 minutes and they just casually rattled off some generic questions. However they did not ask me about TA or museum positions like in your interview, so I'm a little concerned about that?
  6. Just had my Columbia College phone interview, it was a little over 10 minutes. Panel style, seemed like there were about 5 people in the call. Questions they asked: Why do you want to go to graduate school at Columbia? What artists and concepts inspire your work? What projects or ideas are you currently working on? That's pretty much it, it was short and sweet compared to the other interviews I've done. They said decisions should be out by mid-march, but could be a little later. MassArt interview tomorrow!
  7. I would suggest letting UWM know that you have received a commendable funding package from another institution, in hopes they'll barter with you about funding.
  8. An interview means you're a finalist for admission. It's a great sign, most schools interview you when they are considering accepting you. Interviews are never a bad thing. And many schools do suggest waiting a year or more between undergrad and grad school, but plenty of students get in to programs straight out of undergrad.
  9. Was it Columbia College Chicago? If so, what did they ask and what department were you applying for?
  10. Just got an accepted into the Maine College of Art (MECA) MFA in Studio Arts full residency program via a very delightful phone call. They said I should hear about funding this week. Surprised I got accepted into this one to be honest, but I'm grateful to have some options! Still got MassArt and Columbia College interviews this week, so we'll see how that goes.
  11. My Columbia interview is tomorrow morning, I'll tell you how it goes.
  12. Just received my second acceptance! Accepted into the Contemporary Art Practice MFA program at Portland State via email. Hope the good fortune falls upon you all this week as well!
  13. I would personally recommend MECA for a legitimate low res program.
  14. There's a pretty large list of example questions from previous interviews on page 32 of this forum. Good luck!
  15. Good luck!! Maybe if the cards align in a certain way, we'll be seeing each other this fall!
  16. Has anyone already interviewed with MASSART or Columbia College Chicago?
  17. Just got accepted to the University at Buffalo via a very nice phone call. I'm so relieved to recieve this news, this is my first acceptance this year. Keep pushing guys.
  18. Just received an interview invitation from Columbia College Chicago via email ??
  19. Congrats, I bet it is such a relief! This is my second year too, and I'm really hoping for some good news!
  20. I have seen Fine Arts applicants recieve interviews and acceptances already. They seem pretty unresponsive right now, I emailed them about my transcript and they didn't reply for over 2 weeks. But the email they did send was very pleasant and did not imply any rejection, so I don't know what they're doing.
  21. Columbia University or Columbia College Chicago?
  22. Has anyone heard from Columbia College?
  23. They said in the email that these were interviews that were decided by the MFA 2D/3D Admissions Committee. So from the looks of my email, design programs may be emailed separately from a different committee, so don't lose hope just yet ?
