Which program?

Just Heard from MICA did not get accepted or even waitlisted.
Now I have to decide if I want to go to OTIS MFA Graphic Design.
Thoughts? Would really appreciate it.

hi all - 
Has anyone heard from Columbia MFA in art (new genres)? 
I have been accepted to Cal Arts (mfa in art) vs. School of Art Institute of Chicago (mfa in performance) and trying to understand the pros and cons of these programs, as well as columbia as I have to tell SAIC on friday and still haven't heard back from Columbia post interview. 
Any insight about the programs, reputations, etc., would be GREATLY appreciated. 
Thanks!
 

Just got waitlisted at MICA via email from the director of graduate admissions!
It was my first choice, I'm still so nervous, god. ?
But should be hearing from them in late April, according to the mail.

Just got a risd rejection, but was expecting it 

Rejected from Cranbrook so that's it! All I got is Pratt and with the amount of aid I'll get I will prospectively get I can't attend Pratt either unless they give me more aid so this year was sadly a bust, but I am waiting on some residencies to reply so I have that. Much power to those still waiting and those that got in. I'll see you guys next year if they don't give me more aid for Pratt.

Hey all! Looking through this forum, I noticed a couple of people have had interview requests from SUNY Purchase. I also had an interview with them a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone heard from them yet by any chance,  accepted or rejected? After sending a thank you email to the Professor/Head of the MFA program, she mentioned that decisions would be made by the end of the week and that was the first week of March. 
Congratulations for those accepted and selected as MFA candidates! It's my second year applying, I had slightly better luck this year with 2 interviews (interviewed with Cornell, second year in a row but waitlisted again) and applied to 6 schools total. 

Got accepted to Pratt with 38k in aid, but cost of attendance is like 110k so I dunno if I'm going to be able to make it to New York this year.?
 

Hi. I'm from China and was just admitted into the UCLA MPH program. 
The checklist says I must take ESLPE test. 
Is there anyone familiar with this test?   
The website says  "A visitor scoring below the minimum requirement will not be permitted to register until an intensive course in English has been passed." and "Admission is canceled for those who do not pass the ESLPE."   However, the ESL website says "If you do not receive an “exempt” on the ESLPE, you will need to take up to two ESL graduate writing courses (ESL 200, 201) as indicated in your ESLPE exam results. These courses must be completed during the first year and may not be taken concurrently. "
It really scares me and makes me confused. 

Hi all!
Been heavily lurking this thread, decided to officially sign up haha. Thanks for all your insights, I do appreciate it!
For me I applied to and got into Pratt / Otis. I got rejected from BU.
And now I’m waiting for Cal arts, art center, and RISD. Fingers crossed. I heard risd will let us know by Friday from twitter. I saw cal arts release their BA admissions a day ago. So nervous ? 

Hey I'm headed to Cranbrook for Painting!! I've been lurking in this thread a bit throughout the interview season...but I got so excited when I saw your post and made an account ? I haven't talked to anyone else who has gotten in or is going yet. I was deciding between Cranbrook and SAIC, but along with the funding from Cranbrook, I was really impressed by the rigor of the program (40 hours minimum in the studio per week!), and the intimate nature of the program and school. It seemed to me like a pretty unique place; a close-knit community of only grad students (about 140 total I think) where everyone knows each other, and the students + Artists-in-Residence not only work but live alongside one another. The campus is also so beautiful! It struck me as the perfect setting to really focus and produce without distraction. When I visited for the interview, everyone was so generous, welcoming, and supportive. That really impressed me too. Anyways, good luck with your decision, and let me know if you decide on Cranbrook! You have some really amazing options, so I don't think you can go wrong no matter which school you choose ? 

I declined my interview for NYU as I received an offer for Slade. I'm still waiting to hear back from the RCA and then I'll make my decision. I will decline my SAIC offer later today too, so hopefully that's good news to anyone who has been waitlisted for Painting.

Accepted to Parsons MFA Fine Arts!

Recieved a unofficial notification from UIC :
"We have recommended to the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Chicago that you be admitted with full graduate standing to the Master of Design (MDes) in Graphic Design program in the UIC School of Design.   Once the Graduate College confirms our decision and the UIC Office of Graduate Admissions verifies the receipt of all necessary credentials, you will receive official notification with further information.”   So anxious for the final admission letter! I hope they give out a little funding. ?

Congrats for your acceptances! I was accepted MICA & Cranbrook Sculpture and  UCLA for another field. So I have no idea to decide school because they are all good.. deadline of Cranbrook is next Tuesday. It really makes me crazy.. I comparing Cranbrook with UCLA. Their advantages are so different. I think you also have so many thinking to choose the school.. In my case, I'm thinking about location, cost of study and major... maybe it depends on my choice of department..?

I would like some advice about school my options!
please help me!!
Goldsmiths MFA Arts   vs   MICA MFA Painting   vs   Cranbrook MFA Painting
 
 

Accepted to CCA VCS/MFA program with 46k/year!!

Still waiting on RISD and MICA
 
( got accepted to OTIS)

I got accepted to VCU for Photo + Film on Monday. 
 
Also got got an interview request for San Fran State for Cinema (was told I’m a finalist, but before they can issue an acceptance letter, an interview is required). 
 
Still waiting on Syracuse University for Art Video. 
 
Buttttt I visited RISD today and might just accept their offer!!!!!

Ayeeee!! Congrats! Did you hear about UCLA 31 Million dollar studios, they look fresh af! 

i made my decision yet i’m still freaking out! 

Just got word from UO... They still haven’t made any decisions yet and according to the admissions office it won’t be until the end of the month.. Apparently there were “many excellent candidates this year.” Just keep breathing my friends!

I read this on the reddit /r/gradadmissions sub and it really helped my perspective - from the chair of an admissions committee 
 

Got an acceptance letter from Pratt Communications Design program! However, there's no mention of funding in the acceptance letter, Does anyone know if they give it out later or this means, I'm not eligible for a funding? NY is too expensive for me otherwise. ?
But I'm really happy and excited for this! ?
