  1. Waiting on one last school, and on one waitlist. Does anyone have any advice on reaching out for a status check? Is there a polite way to ask without being annoying? Or should I hold off and stay patient?
  2. Waitlisted at UConn for painting! I had completely given up hope for this school, so this was a wonderful surprise. My fingers are crossed extremely tightly!
  3. Has anyone heard anything from University of Washington for Painting/Drawing or from Washington State (WSU)?
  4. Received rejection notice via email to check the portal, so mystery solved. Must be sending them out in batches.
  5. I've also not heard from Tulane. Feeling nervous about it, and I'm also confused if they send multiple waves of rejections or if I should have hope. Applied with a drawing/painting focus.
  6. Same thing happened to me, so I sent them an email to clarify. They're reviewing applications this month and will notify us in March. The financial aid offer is just the financial aid office acting independently, and doesn't mean anything about admissions. It's kinda weird, and got my hopes up when I first saw it!
  7. I feel this so hard. I need to know if I'm moving for grad school or staying in my city, because either way my lease is up and I need to look for new apartments ASAP! It sucks having to put life on hold for a while and not being able to make plans for even 6 months in the future
  8. Has anyone heard if Tulane sent out interview requests yet?
  9. Rejected from Wisconsin Madison this morning! Working on refining my backup plan today while I wait for the rest haha
  10. lol yes, bad idea. We're still in the early stages of hearing back, a lot of schools release decisions in mid-March. If it's April and you haven't heard anything, then I say go for it.
  11. Yeah, I read the email more closely, and I think it's just the financial aid office acting independently from the department - I don't think it means anything about the admission decision!
  12. So here's a weird question - what does it mean if I just received a financial aid letter from a school, but I haven't heard anything about the admission decision yet? Especially since I thought this program often awards waivers, yet this offer was all loans. Trying not get my hopes up here.
  13. That was my thinking, too. At least in Painting, I didn't see anything about interviews in previous years (but I might have been looking in a different place than you!) so I'm not sure if they accept/reject without interviewing candidates
  14. Has anyone heard if Madison has begun notifying people at all? It looks like this past week and the next week are when they typically release their decisions.
  15. Yeah, wait wtf? That's bizarre of them. Why not just email or call?
  16. After looking through old forms, it seems like this Friday is when we'll start hearing a lot from schools that had early-Jan deadlines. Does anyone think the extreme temperatures in the Midwest will delay the timeline a day or two for schools in that region?
  17. Ah, damn. Congrats to all who were invited!
  18. In a similar vein, anyone hear anything about interviews from Northwestern, Davis, or UW-Madison? All of them had early application deadlines, so I would guess that things should be happening soon.
  19. I think this past month of anxiety has shaved a year off of my life
  20. I mean, yes, I am stressed and obviously thinking a lot about admissions (hence me checking this thread everyday...), but I have a lot of peace of mind knowing that whatever happens with admissions, I will still have my art. Gatekeepers to the art industry have faded considerably in the last several years. Additionally, so far in my life I have constantly created, no matter what less-than-desirable circumstances my life has been in. A yes or a no from a program won't really affect that. I say all that, but obviously I really want to work toward an MFA.
  21. Another thing to consider is that analytics doesn't always capture every website hit. Have seen people pull up my site, but have had no hits from that city show up from that day, for example.
  22. Oh! I didn't realize that - that's good to know and makes a lot of sense.
  23. Me too, with those schools specifically! Each day that I hear nothing I get a little more anxious because I figure they have to interview sooner rather than later to make a decision that quickly. Honestly I'm going to be so relieved when this waiting period is over, even if all I get are rejections!
  24. Off the Wall is a great book by Tomkins about Rauschenberg that I really enjoyed. Also have been taking a wheel-throwing class for the first time to distract myself with an entirely new medium!
