Thanks for the quick response. I hope you hear back soon with good news! My guess is maybe that they are picking their top applicants and offering fellowships before moving down the list so that they can accurately offer that stuff... I've been patient but I am starting to worry!

I haven't received an email notification yet, but I just checked my RISD applicant portal and saw an update that linked to a rejection letter (for photo).

I emailed whatever emails I had from the schools before who I assume to be whoever is in charge of graduate communications. I haven’t heard from U Oregon or Tulane at all from the emails I sent. Though I’m accepting that this year may not be happening.

Shout out to everybody sitting on the wait list, feeling caught in the bureaucratic under current or some fucked up academic love triangle ~

My in-person Northwestern interview went well but their studios are very, very sad. After speaking with current students I have some concerns have been debating on withdrawing my application.

Caved and reached out to RISD admissions regarding their decision timeline and this was the response. So if you're in the same boat and haven't heard anything, I guess this is the worst case. For reference, I applied to their Printmaking MFA.

Did really well for my VCU Photography & Film interview with the grad director! It ended up being 1.5 hours and I only spoke on two pieces. Conversation was super casual and relaxed.

How did you word your email to them without sounding desperate or needy? I need to do this to the programs I am waiting for as my declaration deadlines are coming up with others!

I got an acceptance (with funding) from UIC awhile back. They called me, no interview.

Photo person here, and still waiting to hear back from RISD; crossing my fingers for both of us!

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, I had my interview with UIC yesterday. They asked me a project where I went completely off my comfort zone and to explain that work. Other than that, they asked me to explain another work of mine that shows them who I'm and want to be as an artist. I explained while my project was open via screenshare on Skype. Also, both of these projects were included in my Slideroom portfolio.
My UIC interview went fine, I think. Was interviewed with the program director (we had been in touch via mail) and two of the professors of the department. They took interest in my work and told me I have a lot of potential. They also have recommended me to think about the prelim program they have and honestly, I think they're right since I have a different undergraduate degree (Architecture) and my online course/internship experience probably isn't equivalent to a complete BFA program. I'm thinking about it but at the same time, I'm worried about the extra cost as I'm an international applicant. Let's see what the final offer has for me.
They said I'd be hearing a final word in about 2 weeks time. Good luck to all if you guys had an interview with UIC, yet!

Hey, Thanks! And this was all that was mentioned in the e-mail I received.
"The Design faculty is currently reviewing and finalizing acceptance decisions."
I'm sure there's still time. Good luck!

Damn, just got rejected by UCI and I am starting to realize how much a blessing rejection is. Getting comfortable with that seems like it'll be a super power. Shout out to all those with rejection in their emails, gonna get bulletproof

also y'all - someone said this earlier: THIS PROCESS IS DEHUMANIZING.
let's not forget that all universities have essentially become corporations, and that as artists, school is a tiny fraction of our efforts. significant, but still small. our journey, with art and for art, will likely be thread throughout the entirety of our lives. there is a trajectory the work will walk, and it is our honor, and our duty, to protect it and fight for it. everything else is probably an illusion. highfives all around. you rock.
that being said, i'm stressed as f*** lol. stay warm.

Very late last night I received two painting interview request from two different painting faculty at UCLA lol! I'm unsure if the two interview request is a mistake on UCLA part, their admission process is so obscure--who knows!

calmly waiting reacted to yessssssss in MFA 2019 Freak Out Forum
That’s amazing! I’m really curious how you approached your essays - did you end up submitting the optional personal history statement? Did you list faculty you wanted to work with at the program? These were things I was super unsure about through the process.
