To anyone waiting to hear back from VCU photo, I finally got a rejection letter in the mail! I'm relieved this whole thing is done. What a journey!

I've posted it probably 10 times already, but I haven't either for photo. Not an email or a letter or anything, and my application was submitted back in early December. It's really not a good look, and I'm starting to get a little miffed about it. I've already happily accepted elsewhere, but I just want to know so I can stop thinking about it.

Yeah, I'll be heading up to MICA in Baltimore! Online apartment hunting already,

Of course! Savannah might not be a Los Angeles or a NYC, but they still have some great connections, especially since they have a campus in Atlanta! And it will be an awesome experience - exciting times for all of us, . Best of luck in whatever you decide!

Well, I went to SCAD for all four years of undergrad and graduated just a year ago, so I'm pretty up-to-date on them. I know SCAD can get some flack from some people (for reason's I've never fully understood, since I thought it was a great school during my experience), but if there's anything SCAD is really well known for, it's their animation department above all else. I've heard it's really fantastic - two of my roommates majored in animation, and they've already gone on to do a lot. SCAD's animation department also has some really nice relationships with a lot of companies like Disney, Activision, DreamWork, LucasFilm, Nick, etc. . . Plus, despite there being some crime like any other city, Savannah is actually quite a nice city to live in - it's very much affordable on the housing front, and it's a pretty city to boot.

Ahh, thank you, but I've definitely been rejected too. Didn't even get an interview notification. Just waiting on my rejection email / letter,

Sorry,

Anyone know of any good grants, maybe some specifically for graduate students (or inverse, some general grants)? I'm having some trouble finding some to apply to that aren't uber specific.

Eh, well. You win some you lose some.

Fantastic, thank you! Their process has been very long. I wonder if they interview every candidate, or accept some outright, .
-
There's like, a special level of burn for being ghosted. Rejection outright is disappointing, but a much easier pill to swallow. Being ghosted by a school is as if they didn't even wan't to talk to you at all,

Clearly I was wrong about CCC, Had no idea Kelli Connell taught there.

Good to see another past SCAD student! Nice work - the sixth image in What Else Is There? is super stunning. Good luck with your choice!

Yeah, I don't know much about CCC! All I was saying is that I think RISD has a much broader appeal outside of their cities than CCC does, and that might be worth something if that's the angle you're going for. Debt and money is definitely a huge factor though. Of course, so is the value of the program and the professors who teach it.

Hmm . . . honestly, I'd say RISD. The full funding is great for CCC, but as far as I know, they're not super well known. RISD is one of the best, on the other hand. And at least you're getting 15k a year, so it's not nothing. That might be supplemented by the fact that Providence is a more affordable city than Chicago.

I've heard VCU is a fantastic school for MFA programs. Richmond is also a pretty nice city, and not too small - 200,000. Plus, it's close to other major areas.

I'm going to MICA for PEM, got 36% scholarship. Why do you say MR has a better rep? I've been hearing very good things about PEM. I'd just say do whatever you feel is the stronger bet - you got more of a scholarship, which is a plus - do you see your work being most cultivated by PEM or by MR? That should be one of the biggest considerations . If you're more focused in that area, I'd say PEM. Both are at MICA, after all, which will still be a great school regardless.
-
Full funding and assistantship at VCU, which is also a great school? I'd 100% go for that, haha.
-
Did you interview for VCU? I'm pretty much expecting my rejection letter any day know, haha,
-
Sorry. <3

I'm sorry, <3 Hope MIT and Columbia work out,

Yeah . . . I've mentioned it a few times here before (it doesn't seem many photo people applied to VCU), but I've not heard anything either for photo, not a peep haha. No interview, rejection or acception.

I've already decided on going to MICA officially since it's a great program and was one of my top choices, but I still am curious about VCU's ghosting. I've not gotten a rejection or an interview request. Have people applying for photo there heard anything? I'm assuming I'm a reject and just haven't been notified.
-
Yeah! I don't really know why it would be slimy? It's just cordial! I followed up with my interviewer with just a simple "Thank you for the interview, I'm very interested in the program and am looking forward to hearing back from ___ soon. Best ____"
