Congratulations you two, that's fantastic! Out of curiosity, when did you interview and how did you hear back from them? I'm still waiting to hear back but fear rejection at this point. 

I interviewed the painting program exactly a week ago, and five days later they informed me of the result. However, I also interviewed the sculpture department, but it's been a month still nothing heard back.

Me too on both accounts! Are you from the US or UK? I really love RCA but am struggling so much with how I will find the funding as an international student. It would have to mean a significant amount of loans. Anyway, it is nice to be able to connect with someone in a similar spot as me! It is all very overwhelming but exciting at the same time. 

Hi! I'm also an international student, but thankfully my parents will support me financially. Living in London might be expensive, but you will get lots of public exposures at the same time. Still, being an artist itself is risky, and hopefully, we can stand out someday.

Anybody interviewing for Royal College of Art??? 

I did interviews from sculpture three weeks ago and painting two days ago, but no responses so far. The painting interview went pretty well which was surprising for me, and they said RCA painting was not that conservative compared to 20 years ago. Which one did you apply?

EXTREMELY poor taste bashing a schools' faculty on an internet forum after an interview regardless of how you perceived the interview to have gone. This could very well come back to haunt you. You have no idea what faculty might be lurking on these forums and some schools include current MFA students in the application review process, who might be active or lurking these forums as well.

Thank you for your reminder. I am a newcomer to this forum. I thought that everyone here to exchange information is to express subjective feelings. As a result, you are so politically correct that I feel sick and please forgive me.

Hi everyone, I am a current BFA student at SAIC, and I am surprised that many of you got rejected for its MFA program. I didn't apply SAIC for graduate school because Chicago has a very limited professional resource for any types of studio artists though it is a good school with great facility and faculty members, especially in Painting and Photography. I had classes with the current chair of the painting and photography department, and their works are certainly amazon. 

However, I am sick of being in Chicago for four years, and I primarily applied to schools in the UK. 

As far as now, I have applied to RCA, Goldsmiths, and Chelsea. I interviewed RCA sculpture ten days ago, and I had a very bad experience with the arrogant faculty members, but haven't received any response yet. However, I got into Chelsea College of Arts, and it is a 15-month program, so its tuition is almost half of the others. But I guess Goldsmiths might be the ideal one. Anyone apply Goldsmiths so far?
