Snoozi got a reaction from Chet_Manley in MFA 2018 All Art ADMISSIONS freak-out forum!!!!!!!!
To Painters considering reapplying to MFA painting programs in the fall:
If anyone has questions about reapplying to MFA Painting, particularly to schools like SAIC, RISD, Columbia, Yale, SVA, I'm open to answering questions all of this month - you can just private message me. I am not an admissions expert, but I did learn a lot about admissions and the interviewing process over my recent 2 years of applying. I can also offer a little bit of insight on what to do if you get rejected your first time applying / applying to your dream school / summer residencies / post-bacc programs / waitlists, etc.
I told myself that once I got into grad school, I'd give back to this forum because I was completely clueless when I first applied, didn't have a BFA and so had few friends I could ask about the app process, and found the entire situation rather emotionally draining/drawn out longer than it needed to be. On hindsight, I'm very grateful that it worked out the way that it did because I grew a lot from the experience. This forum answered a lot of the questions that I had that admissions could not offer, or wasn't part of what I thought fair play should be in an application system, because art can be so subjective.
Anyway, always happy to help!

I finally decided on RISD, after a lot of back and forth. I feel really bad turning Pratt down, but I just think RISD is the better fit all-around for me. This will probably be my last update, so good luck to everyone next year. And to those who didn't get in, I was rejected my first round too, so no worries. Just keep trying.

Go to RISD, you won't regret it. Their faculty are AMAZING, Providence is AMAZING to live for 2 years. Good luck and enjoy!!
