Congrats! Yeah, same for me, but it was like that even before being accepted. Hope they're swift! and thank you!

Accepted to CalArts! I think you're right @latenightlatte and I agree that the interview call was lovely however brief! Probably won't accept since the funding from UCSD is hard to ignore. Hope everyone is doing alright amidst all this madness.

Got an interview invite from CalArts today via email... seems so late! Anyone else? I applied for art (painting).

Updated report on best art programs - 2020. This list is arbitrary in some ways but the shift in rankings is really interesting! Of course it comes down to the fit and feel of a program for each artist. https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-fine-arts-schools/fine-arts-rankings

has anyone gotten word from CalArts for painting? hope everyone's getting what they need right now!

Accepted to UCSD via email ?

Hiiii, my friend in the program told me they are doing interviews this week. I haven't heard anything from them ?

Hey, thanks so much for the insight! I have no idea what it means either, but we'll see haha.

question about CalArts-- Applied for MFA school of art, but did not receive an interview. Was assuming waitlist or rejection. However, this year I was emailed credentials for the Hub (student services), where I see that my financial aid is being reviewed. Did everyone who applied receive this email? It seems standard but not I'm sure since I didn't receive one of these last year, even though I was eventually waitlisted and rejected. Thanks!

Nope, that's confusing! I got a similar email right after submitting my application, but none since. I applied for painting, so not sure about other disciplines.

Cool thank you!

Has anyone heard from VCU painting?

Received an interview invite to UCSD a few hours ago!

Heyyy all, This is my second time applying. I applied to four programs last year and was rejected from three and waitlisted at one. Stung at first but I was ultimately sooo grateful for the extra year and feel that my work is in a much better place-- definitely feel ready!. This year I'm applying, for painting/printmaking, to the following: UCSD UCLA RISD CalArts Yale VCU Shooting high. We'll see! Pretty anxious to start hearing.

I got a status update email, waitlisted. Not sure how I feel about the changes going on within the school but still exciting!

Has anyone gotten an official rejection from CalArts? I wasn't asked to interview but have received proper notification from all my other schools. Thanks!

Was this via email or status page? Congrats!

I can't be totally sure! She was waitlisted then accepted so her timeline may be different than the norm. But she did receive a nice package!

This doesn't help too much, but a friend of mine in the program said she received her acceptance much later. I'm expecting it to be around March.

Rejected

The Yale site says February 1st! Hopefully it's on time. I also applied to UCLA and RISD along with CalArts. Haven't heard anything from any of them yet. Congrats on the interviews!!

I can't focus on anything either! Dinner sounds like a great idea. Yeah, that does seem to be the pattern. I completed undergrad two years ago so we'll see if that helps at all. Good luck to you too!!

I am so anxious for Friday!!! How many people are applying for their first time? Second? Third? This is my first time, so I'm being realistic, but hopeful

Hey, long-time listener, first-time caller. I'm not worried about website traffic. At the Yale open house, an applicant asked the panel members if websites ever come into play. They said that frequently, there isn't enough time to look through websites. Additionally, whatever you have on your website that you're hoping for schools to come across should BE IN your application so they don't miss anything important.
