I just got accepted Cranbrook & UCLA!!!!!!!!!! with TA offer + little funding Holymolyohmydaysthanksgod

Is anyone else here applying from UK? If so, do you know where we can go to for loans/ funding? Only option seems to be trying to get a bank loan...

I had emailed the NCSU admissions department today regarding the same and from what I inferred by their reply,  your assumption is correct. Most universities have a different financial aid sector within the admissions office which applies for (generally) domestic students. For international applicants, its mostly whatever the department has to offer, be it TAships/RAships or merit based scholarships. I hope that clears your query.

Been watching this thread since it started and I've been a huge fan of these threads since 2017 hope everyone is doing well.
Second time applying and I'm 3 years out of college. Only applied to Hunter, Pratt and Cranbrook for painting. Already got rejected by Hunter-- anyone got updates on the interviews for either Pratt or Cranbrook? The anticipation is killing me; but I also applied to literally every residency in the Midwest applicable to someone straight out of college (Oxbow,  ACRE, Ragdale) and Skowhegan if my portfolio isn't up to snuff. 
I don't want the application process to slow down the creative furvor either so I'm distracting myself by making a whole bunch of stuff. 
Wish me luck!

I got an acceptance letter from SMFA!!!!! And a $15,000 a year scholarship!!!!! If there was an emoji for fainting and then laying on the ground giggling with glee that would be me haha. SOOOOO much RELIEF!!! Hopefully this is just the first acceptance and I’ll have some options but if not, I’m BEYOND HAPPY and I am DETERMINED to figure out funding this! 

I heard nothing from RISD until now(applied for sculpture). Is there anyone like me?? I lost my hope long time ago. But I'm just curious now why they don't send me a rejection notification?

Accepted: SAIC| MFA Visual Communication Design. Via email and official letter by post.

Digital Imaging!
I wish you luck?

Got an acceptance from SAIC! Im so relieved!

Hi y'all.
 
I got accepted to Pratt, and they offered me $60,000($15,000/semester)!!!
I'm still waiting results for other schools but I'm SOOOOO excited XD!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea about average amount of scholarship so I'm wondering is it normal amount of scholarship from Pratt?
 
And I'm waiting for results from these schools.
UCLA-interviewed
Cranbrook-interviewed
RISD-heard nothing
MICA-interviewed

Thx for the support and replies! I just got accepted by SAIC's three year visual communications post baccalaureate+MFA track! I am more than thrilled!

Did really well for my VCU Photography & Film interview with the grad director! It ended up being 1.5 hours and I only spoke on two pieces. Conversation was super casual and relaxed.

Nope, sva is the only school in New York I applied to. Did you apply to parsons? Same to you best of luck with your interviews! 

Had my interview with the VisCom department in SAIC 11 days ago, and they told me I should know the results in two to three weeks, but it has been extremely anxiety inducing for me since I heard other departments like painting and printmaking are already sending out results. Fingers crossed.
If there are any viscom peeps or graphic design MFA applicants here let me know!!! 

Hey, Thanks! I really appreciate this and hope the same.
Hope you get into your choice of school too

It’s not MFA, but got accepted to MS in IxD at Pratt. Anyone else got accepted?

thanks for the feedback! 
All the best with hearing back, sounds like they do really like you as a candidate, hopefully they might even give you a good funding offer for their prelim!

Hey, I had my interview with UIC yesterday. They asked me a project where I went completely off my comfort zone and to explain that work. Other than that, they asked me to explain another work of mine that shows them who I'm and want to be as an artist. I explained while my project was open via screenshare on Skype. Also, both of these projects were included in my Slideroom portfolio. 
 
My UIC interview went fine, I think. Was interviewed with the program director (we had been in touch via mail) and two of the professors of the department. They took interest in my work and told me I have a lot of potential. They also have recommended me to think about the prelim program they have and honestly, I think they're right since I have a different undergraduate degree (Architecture) and my online course/internship experience probably isn't equivalent to a complete BFA program. I'm thinking about it but at the same time, I'm worried about the extra cost as I'm an international applicant. Let's see what the final offer has for me. 
They said I'd be hearing a final word in about 2 weeks time. Good luck to all if you guys had an interview with UIC, yet!

If you don't mind me asking, how much does SAIC's dean scholarship compensate towards the tuition?

Got an acceptance from Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign yesterday! I burst into tears when I opened their email. Still waiting on funding news but so happy

does anyone have the intel on RISD GD (2 and 3 year) and when interviews are 

Hey, Thanks! And this was all that was mentioned in the e-mail I received.
"The Design faculty is currently reviewing and finalizing acceptance decisions."
I'm sure there's still time. Good luck!

Got my first acceptance to SAIC sculpture!  Hoping for some scholarships to come through too...

I just got a call from SAIC photo about an acceptance and a dean fellowship!
