SAIC painting results are out. I just got a call from thenDean with an offer and a dean’s sholarship. Hopefully more fundings come thru. i hope more ppl will hear good news soon!

Good to know! Thank you! I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Does anyone know when University of Delaware sends out interview invitations? Or maybe they have already been sent? Their deadline was on 2/15 so it’s probs going to take a bit longer.

Hang on there! I'm sure we'll find out soon!

What dept. did you apply to? I think ppl from last year’s forum heard back from SAIC painting around March 1st. Altho so far, a few from SAIC fibers and another dept. have gotten admission notifications. I’m waiting to hear back from SAIC painting too. Not sure about MICA tho.

After getting ny 3rd rejection out of the 6 programs I applied to (and quiet a few rejections from various residencies I applied to last year), I totally agreed with you. It feels like a super power to take these rejections and not let them overwhelm/kill off your motivation to make work/continue your creative pursues. To echo others’ comments, the wait is driving me a little insane each day but making new work is helping. We’ll get through this!

same! haha

I got a rejection from Rutgers a day ago and got an interview invite from Hunter this morning. I haven’t heard from VCU (painting) yet tho a few ppl on here have mentioned receiving interview invites already. Anyone knows when UARK will send out their invites? Hang in there, friends!

I'm just printing out the list of interview questions from previous year's forum and make notes of my answers as a guide for myself. I'm v forgetful so it's good for me to have something to reference/look at. Also, read up about the program/school and the faculty. A friend is going to help practice the interview with me which I think will be helpful as well. Good luck!

No not at all! I appreciate it!

Thanks for your reply! Things ended up working out for me to be there for an in-person interview. I'm hoping to tour the school and check out the city more over the interview weekend since I have never been before. Gonna make a nice trip out of it, and hopefully won't be too caught up in the stress of the interview. Good luck with your interviews!

Thanks for your comment, Ais! I didn't realize there is a separate "check application status" portal until I saw your msg and went to google it. Saw that they're missing my official transcript too and somehow also one of my letter of recommendation, which is so strange since I'm v sure all my recommenders had submitted their letters to both the gen application and the slideroom portion. Emailed admission office to figure this out. Has anyone had experience with this situation before? UARK did contact me a week ago bc they didn't have my official transcript there too and was told my application was forwarded to the appropriate dept after they received it. Now it's Rutgers. *sigh*

Hi! First time posting, long time lurker here! I just heard back from SAIC (painting) for an interview in Feb. I'm a bit concerned about the travel costs for me altho I do live in the US so does anyone have any input/advice on skype vs in-person interviews? Thanks! I hope more people will hear back from their schools soon! :)
