Just got an email from Sam Fox / WashU saying that they are working on reviewing applications and that they will let us know our admission status in “early March.”
At least it’s not a rejection but my god the waiting.

@sunflowertime I can't speak to all of these questions, but personally, I never reach(ed) out to any programs which I applied to, it would make me uncomfortable; and this is my first season applying to Art MFAs. I have two acceptances (UIUC, Ohio State), and two interviews (Northwestern, Oregon), so from personal experience, I would say I can't imagine this is important for all candidates.
That being said, I did share my personal statement with a few peers [strong writers] who I trust. My approach to this cycle was to submit one cohesive project [of 20ish images/documentations, depending on place], and tailor my application around that. And from my conversations with mentioned programs, it seems to have been perceived well by faculty so far.
For some background, I did not apply to painting/drawing, and though I have never painted and would not describe my work as drawing, I was admitted to Ohio State under that dept. So, might be worth something, idk. Happy to support/help out as well. But more so hoping you kill it this season!
I should also say -- my priority in applications was programs which are Fully Funded [I would define fully funded as full tuition remission + a stipend that can pay rent, at least + includes healthcare]. So it's hard for me to say any of this may apply to other art colleges which are not on this model.

For anyone else interviewing with Stanford, I had mine last night. I think it went really well??!! *knocks on wood*
9 people on the zoom call (which is kind of a lot in my opinion). 4 current students, the director of the program and 4 faculty members. They asked the basic questions:
why do you want to go to grad school why Stanford who are your influences and why (they didn't ask it in this manner, this question sort of felt like the contextualizing yourself in art history question by explaining who you look at) then they spent a lot of time asking me about concepts within specific pieces in my application, and how I planned on expanding on them if I were to get into their program. Everyone on the call was very nice, and though it was 9 people I didn't necessarily feel overwhelmed. Anyway, good luck to everyone else on your interviews.
I have UCLA on February 11th and Yale on February 14th. Hopefully they all go like this one lol, crossing my fingers!!!

If anyone wants to share MFA interviewing tips or experiences, please hit me up. My interview with Oregon was today--and I think it was good?--but I find it so hard to gauge how these things go?
