I am so glad I found this forum! It has been very encouraging to have such a great support group Congratulations to all that have been accepted to the programs.
This was my first year applying, applied to 4 pretty competitive programs, got rejected from 3 and still waiting to hear back from Columbia which by the sound of it, does not look too promising. I called them today and they said that visual arts candidates should expect a letter/ packet by mid April the latest. Good luck to all those still waiting and for us who didn't get in, everything happens for a reason, lets not get discouraged and try again next year!
