    I had interview with UCLA first, and that was terrible.. because I'm an international student so my English ability isn't perfect so faculty should ask me to repeat some sentences several times. Even they told me I should learn English more. I thought I screwed up the interview becuse they seemed like they have thinking that I cannot catch up the classes. Interview was generally formal, I think.
     
    And interview with Cranbrook was great. It was like Critique Class! Interviewer ask me many In-Depth questions. I was so happy she asked me following questions. My major is fine art so I hoped interviewer understands my background, philosophy and concept of artwork deeply!(On the other hand, there was no following questions at UCLA. I think it's because, maybe major is different. I applied to UCLA for Design Media Arts(I have BFA in Sculpture and BA in Art History))  Anyway, it was sooo good talking with interviewer of Cranbrook. I felt  Cranbrook is absolutely one of the best schools to develop fine artworks.
     
    I got offer from Pratt($60,000 funding/Digital Imaging), UCLA(about $22,000 funding including TA offer/Design Media Arts) and Cranbrook(funding package didn't arrive yet/Sculpture). I cannot decide.. I think New York is so expensive to live although I got $60,000 funding.. If I keep doing my sculpture and installation art, I will go to Cranbrook. But I also hope to learn media art for broadening my field. Sorry, maybe I'm too much talker. I hope this reply answers your question.
     
    + If anyone can help me to decide school, please give me some advice.
    Thank you:)

    About an hour ago, I received an invitation to interview from SVA for Graphic Design. The interview is for Monday ?
    I think they sent them all out at the same time, because they accidentally put another person's name in the subject line. Harbor, if you are here, good luck!

    I honestly think I probably mentioned in my essay that I want to teach!!! I said it like 3 times before they even asked haha. I think that may have prompted them to ask. Don't worry! Not to be creepy but I looked at your website and your stuff is solid!!!

    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!

    Aww, Jess I feel for you. The second undergrad offer might just be something automatic they do, don't take it to heart. Lately SAIC's rejection emails have been offering post-bacs and such much too often. It's becoming a theme. I would not take it personally at all. A feedback on Portfolio Day weighs much more and is much more valuable. Chin up!!!! A BA in Film and Video is something to be super proud of!!!! and you showed tons of determination aiming for your MFA in Painting. Keep strong!

    Thanks!! 
    It was for MICA Rinehart School of  Sculpture. I think it went okay! It was just one interviewer and she asked mainly about my subject matter and pieces. She asked what I thought my most successful and least successful pieces were. She also asked the standard why do you want to go to grad school, why our school, etc. At the end she asked me what other schools I applied to and what would be the determining factor on my decision of which school I would pick if accepted to multiple programs.
    I am however beating myself up a little bit about one of my answers. I told myself in the beginning of this process that I was going to be honest, even if the answer wasn't favorable. I was asked to further explain why I want to go to graduate school and part of my response detailed how in undergrad I sequestered myself from my class mates and tended to work from home. I went on to talk about how at this point in my life I really would like to be part of an artist community, and work around my peers in order to grow. I think she might have been disappointed in that response, as I showed her that at times I have been less than outgoing. I'm hoping it doesn't weigh too heavy on the final decision. Other then that I think it went alright, I can't change it now so I guess I will be content about the interview.
     
    Good luck to everyone with interviews and those who have already been accepted! This is getting real and is very intimidating but so exciting!

    The MFA grad advisor attempted to call me, but instead received a UT Austin Painting acceptance via email!  Nominated for a recruitment fellowship through the University, which includes a full scholarship, free health insurance, and a more than a generous living stipend. The email goes on to mention that their decision was unanimous, which make me feel truly wanted at their program.

    They scheduled each for 15 minutes, which is kind of short. But we ended up being on the phone for 30 minutes.

    Just had my interview with Portland State for the MFA in Studio Practice.
    It was scheduled for 15 minutes, but we talked for 30 minutes. Hopefully that's not a bad thing. 
    The questions they asked (for anyone with an interview soon and are wondering how it will go):
    Why do you want to go to graduate school? Why now?
    Are you open to experimenting and breaking out of your comfort zone with your work?
    Can you tell me about your current creative concepts?
    Where do you see your art progressing in the future?
    Are there any projects, books or films that have inspired you and your work?
    What contemporary artists are you interested right now?
    Why have you chosen to apply to this institution/program?
    Are you open to working on projects outside of the University?
    They also opened the floor to any questions that I had for them.
    Hope this is helpful!
