    mariet got a reaction from yeet in MFA 2019 Freak Out Forum   
    Just got my official acceptance letter from UW-Madison in the mail today. I was a little surprised/disappointed to read that they aren't able to offer funding for the first year (I was really hoping for a GA position too). Did anyone else get this? I'm wondering if this is standard for all incoming grads, or if I just didn't make the cut. ?
    Edit: Oops, just saw @yeet 's post from earlier (congrats on getting in, by the way!). Perhaps this is department-wide, then? I'm also curious about how to go about negotiating funding. I've been offered full funding to my other top choice, but I don't want to give up on Madison just yet!

    i interviewed with them this afternoon! also my first one. i'd def say somewhat informal, they only asked a few questions (as opposed to a 15 question list from another school i saw earlier on this thread)---however they also mentioned that they were behind on their schedule (and texted me to let me know beforehand) so things were about 15 min instead of 20. they asked why i wanted to get an MFA, why PNCA, and what i thought/hoped my first year might look like. i think there was another one but it's hard to remember already, lmao. 
    they definitely had my stuff on hand because they mentioned my essay and CV and portfolio, and brought up a few elements of their programs that i might like---it was definitely an interview, but less rapid-fire questions and more of a conversational element to it that i appreciated. and i liked what they had to say quite a bit! after that, they wanted to know if i had any questions (i mostly asked about TAing and what kind of facilities were accessible to MFA students because they'd answered my earlier questions about studios and structure) and said there was so much more they wanted to get to, but they had to keep rolling. overall, i think it went well! 
    i'm interviewing with emily carr tmrw and SFAI next week....so far those are the only ones i've heard back from! i also applied to UCLA, risd, pratt, and cca. 
    if it helps---i went to risd for undergrad and they were the last school to get back to me. it was pretty late, i want to say near the end of march. the process is different for grad because, i think, it's departmental---but i do know they like to take their time!

    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!

    I think people should stop insulting programs that they get rejected from, or get in to. If you get rejected and dis the school, it just comes off as desperate and immature. Even something like "accepted, waiting to hear back from better programs" come off as elitist, and can make someone feel like shit if that was their reach school. This might come off as overly sensitive, but the insecurity of grad school applicants is already sky high.

    Got an acceptance email from UW-Mad yesterday! Whew. 
    Hope everyone is holding up okay. I’m so glad this forum exists — it’s made the waiting period so much more bearable!

    Got an email today notifying me of admission into UW Madison's MFA program! This is my second year applying to MFA programs after getting straight rejections last year. I'm surprised they didn't ask for an interview..?
    Stick with it ya'll, hard work pays off. Still waiting to hear back from the other 6 schools I applied to, but I'm incredibly grateful to have gotten into this funded program. Cheering for all of you!

    Just had an interview with MCAD which went well (I assume).
    I think the main purpose of the interview is to see how my oral English is and whether I can participate in future studies, like doing some critique in class.
    Too excited to sleep now!

    Oops, my mistake for saying ALL 3 — there’s definitely well over three! Looking back at our conversations, he applied to UCLA, Riverside, and Irvine. 
    And thank you!! UMN is my top choice along with UW-Mad, so I’m excited. They called this morning and left a voicemail saying that I got accepted, no interview (thank goodness).

    Hi, I’m new here, as I just found this forum.  I am applying for MFA painting or interdisciplinary/ with focus on painting.
    Thus far, I have only heard from FSU. I had an interview last week. It was about 45 minutes on the phone.  A lot of the expected questions and several questions that were very specific to my work.  Overall, I felt that they had invested a good bit of time in looking at my portfolio and background, and gave some very insightful feedback.  I was notified about the interview by email.
    I am also applying to BU, Tulane, RISD, SMFA, UF, USF.  I have not heard from any of these.
     The waiting is excruciating, and a lot of your comments made me feel better. Thank you!

    To those that are asking about UCSB, a photographer I know is applying to all three UC schools and has interviews with two of them this week. Not sure of any other details, but I hope it offers some clarity!
    Also, I just got a call from the Drawing/Painting/Printmaking dept head at University of Minnesota — I was accepted!!
