I am also on the waitlist!! Best of luck to both of us could get in..
What school will you go if you haven't heard back from SVA?
Probably Pratt.
They have strong community and advantage location in Brooklyn. Plus,since it gives enough freedom to focus on own concentration, I can develop design project upon my own business idea, which is closed to SVA’s program setting. As I am clear on my thesis outcome, I can require pretty good resources from Pratt.
Last, my target job and company are more active and mature in NY, Pratt provides me most opportunity in the area.

I've turned down SVA and Pratt so far. SVA is a good school, with a good reputation, and amazing faculty. But it is not the right fit for me — too entrepreneurial, not experimental enough. Pratt has a very good reputation, but my understanding is that the graduate program in graphic design is relatively new. I'm not very familliar with the faculty and few align with my research interests. I can't speak to BU or ACCD. The latter has a good reputation and at least historically had important people (Lustig) running the program. Currently, a CalArts graduate is running the ACCD graphic design program. I can talk to any of these more, if you think it will be helpful.
Right now, I am deciding between RISD and CalArts, both of which I think are the best fit for my interests and are both highly regarded schools, and Parsons, which gave me 75% scholarship. Basically, do I take on a huge debt load to do exactly what I want, or do I take on barely any debt for a program that is not what I want? Anyone have good advice?
Thanks! I think it's very helpful. I am really interested in SVA to be honest, since their faculties are famous and experienced.
When you mentioned that SVA is not experimental enough, it might focus more on entrepreneurial theory and conventional design, which make your portfolio good enough to find job after grad. Would you like to talk more about SVA?
And what about Calarts MFA in graphic design compares to SVA MFA in design? -

hi all -
Has anyone heard from Columbia MFA in art (new genres)?

Any insight about the programs, reputations, etc., would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

I was accepted also. Is it your first choice?
What have you decided on? I am indecisive now.
I got SVA, Calarts, ACCD, Pratt, and BU (graphic design), and looking for advices according to school reputation in the field and occupation after graduate.
