I received an acceptance email from VCU photo+film on March 9th. I had to decline because of logistics + my first choice was offering funding.
Sweet, thanks for the response. Also congrats on getting funding at your first choice; that's awesome.

Has anyone received rejections from UIC photo or VCU photo/film? Could really use some closure!

Lol, waitlisted at RISD two years in a row
Ha, I was waitlisted last year! Was not waitlisted this year.

Is there anyone else who hasn’t heard a single thing from a school? I haven’t heard anything from two schools and I’m assuming rejection at this point.
Anyone else who hasn’t heard how are you interpreting the lack of news?
I'm in the same situation. Depending on where you applied, I think it's pretty late. I would send a nice email to the department contact asking for an update.
Until I get an official rejection, I hold a small hope for an emailing telling me I've been wait listed. Unfortunately I think I was passed over. So, I'll just get busy and next year I'll adjust my approach. Or go to school to become an accountant or programmer.

UIC application folks, what disciplines did you apply for? I applied for MFA New Media Art several months ago before priority and haven't heard anything, plus the portal says I have everything needed and they are only waiting on the department to review...
I applied to photo and wasn't contacted. Others on the forum, across disciplines, have either gone through interviews or been accepted into the program.
I emailed the graduate director last week, asking where they were at in the process, and have not heard back.

Rejection from RISD today. An email letting me know there was an update in my app portal. ?️

Haha I’m not sure I did that successfully but here’s my email verbatim:
“””My name is Abigail Taylor. I am emailing to inquire the status of my MFA graduate application. I have not heard anything from the school since January 25 and would love if you could let me know where the faculty stands and the process is? Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Sincerely,
Taylor”””””Hey, I'm sort of in a similar situation--I got sustained hits on my site from programs but did not receive invites. I feel like I was probably skipped over. I want to contact them and get an update; I'm just not 100% clear on who to contact.
Did you just email the graduate director?
thx!!

I got an acceptance (with funding) from UIC awhile back. They called me, no interview.
Awesome, thanks for responding and also congrats. I see that you also received an interview request from RISD photo?
-
Have any photo people hear from RISD or UIC?
Since some interviews have already taken place at UIC (outside of photo, but it seems like a program where disciplines are interwoven), I was thinking of contacting the department?

Hey, has anyone had an interview with UIC yet? I have an interview with them tomorrow and guessing what the questions could be!?
Congrats and good luck on your interview. Do you know if UIC is conducting interviews for all departments? I applied to photo and this was one of the schools I really liked.

Did anyone who interviewed with UC Irvine last week/the week before ask when we can hear back from them?
Did they conduct all of their interviews?

Crazy that some other concentrations have already sent out acceptance letters but others apparently haven't contacted for interviews yet ?
I know. I'd love to know what goes on in the decision making process and the reasons behind staggering the communication.
It's such a small program, hopefully we hear something positive by the end of FEB. Probably OK to contact them and ask, if need be, when March roles around?

I think they said last week of feb/first week of march for VCU decisions so we still have some waiting to do
Do ya'll know if VCU has sent out invites for all departments? Or if interviews have been conducted for all depts?

@calmly waiting did you get an answer to this? I’m waiting from the photo dept too. Most posts I’ve seen reference painting, etc.
I haven't heard anything from the photo/film department or [acceptance info] from anyone on this thread. I applied last year and wasn't accepted. I didn't hear about that until April which was rough. Lemme know if you hear anything. Which other programs did you apply to-- if you don't mind me asking.

I didn’t want to get too excited but, like, they couldn’t possibly do this for every applicant right? Why would they waste their time generating one for everyone? Then again this is my first time applying so I really don’t know the protocol. But I’m sending good energy into this haha MANIFEST THAT SHIT.
Last year I applied to the photo program at UNM. I received a similar email from the registrars office about my financial aide. It's hard not to read into it, but it was just an automated message unrelated to my candidacy prospects--even though it sounded very encouraging! If it's not from the department itself, prolly not indicative of acceptance.
I applied to UCI this year but just sent my FAFSA stuff in (hope i didn't miss a deadline). I'll let you know if I get an automated message.

Im out of the loop what is a bounce hit?
Google Analytics will tell you how much a user engaged with your website. A "Bounce" is a very brief visit with no interaction with the page (clicks, etc.).
-
Hate to ask this question, but does anyone have any insights on "Bounce" hits?
Its killing me

A painter on the Yale thread said that they have an interview with VCU. Anyone else hear from them?
I applied to the photo program at VCU, have not heard from them.

Does anyone have an inside scoop on the program at University of Illinois Chicago?
Interested digital media: photography, video, new media. I like what the faculty is up to, but haven't heard much about the environment/culture, or the quality of experience and education.
Best!

My app portal for VCU was reset today (photo/film), without an update on my status, just welcoming me as someone who is re-applying to their grad school.
I had been checking occasionally for an update (an assumed rejection). I'm assuming it will show up next month in the mail, which will be fun to open. This is def an extra amount of discouragement on top of everything. Probably good thing to get used to that but, eesh.
