Just got accepted to Penn State via Email!!! I am crying, this is so incredibly validating because I wasn't even going to apply this year because I didn't think my work was ready or good enough. Also this forum rocks you all rock, everybody rocks.  

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!

I really wouldn't worry about it! It's totally possible they had a different set of questions for the Fine Arts MFA.

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.

Hi everyone.
Interviewed at SAIC for Fiber on Saturday, and Diana called me today. I missed her call so she emailed me with fellowship and acceptance into the MFA program. I havent heard anything from VCU Fiber or Univ of Iowa Dimensional Studies.  
This is a roller coaster so stay warm and take care.

Over the moon to be offered a place at Tyler painting, it seemed such a long shot! Are any others for Tyler on here? 
Email said the dean has a fund for incoming MFA students to visit regardless of distance, but I may be taking the biscuit being from Ireland ???

To answer PMs I gathered this info on funding for US students who want to study in the UK. CLICK EACH TITLE FOR THE LINK and feel free to add more info.

Their upcoming deadline is October 2019 to study during the 2020-2021 academic year. Historically, no Ruskin School of Art student has ever been a Rhodes Scholar. Preference is given to politics, economics, sciences, etc.  Average GPA 3.83  Age restriction 18-24.
Gates Scholarship: Their upcoming deadline is Fall 2019 in order to study at the University of Cambridge during the 2020-2021 academic year. No other UK Institutions are funded. Unfortunately, Cambridge University does not have an MFA program. 
Marshall Scholarship: Study at any accredited UK Institution for up to 2 years. Previous Marshall Scholars included MFA Creative Writing and MFA Theater, so artistic MFA applicants are welcome. Average GPA 3.7  Restriction: student must have graduated on 2017 or after. Their upcoming deadline is yet to be announced, but it is during October 2019 to study during the 2020-2021 academic year anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Hope this helps!
 

I emailed my interviewers at SAIC as a thank you and one of them included this sentence in their email! "I've put in my recommendations for the department, and I hope you hear back soon!" 
Im sincerely hoping that means he recommended me for the program! omg! Surely he wouldn't say that if I wasn't accepted right?
Lol I am nervous wreck!

I just received a Skype interview request from University of Massachusetts-Amherst via email!

There's a pretty large list of example questions from previous interviews on page 32 of this forum. Good luck!

Good luck!! Maybe if the cards align in a certain way, we'll be seeing each other this fall!
