anyone speak to faculty about what the potential outcome of first year MFA will be with the COVID - 19 coming into play? I'm supposed to visit a school on April 3rd for their open house, but the schools website said all events are cancelled or postponed for 30 days. I haven't received any word from faculty even though they know I am suppose to come visit. I'm sure it's really hectic right now for them and i'm the potential grad are last thought at the moment. I've been thinking about what if next academic year is postponed due to the pandemic.

Hi @Andyarthol, I decided against applying to GSU after visiting. I didn't feel like the photo faculty was a right fit for me and the funding was too low to live. I hope things go well for you!

Hi @pollypocket, Thank you! I'm still waiting on the word on the details of funding. I haven't been able to find much information from others when searching on these forums - according to USF's website it says 6k - 10k. I am definitely hoping for more. My friend was accepted to the UF program in Gainesville and she will be receiving 16k in funding and I have another friend currently attending UNC Chapel Hill who has 20k+ in funding. Is USF one of your top choices? Best of luck with you!

I've been accepted to USF - Tampa and UGA - Athens! Now I have to figure out what program is the best choice

<--Photography Anyone hear from University of South Florida? Or received another interview with UGA?

~*Photography*~ OSU: waitlisted Uark: waitlisted UGA: Interviewed. They said they will contact me for another interview soon so waiting on that. University of South Florida: Not contacted yet

OSU: Interviewed and now waitlisted UofArkansas: interviewed last week and they said they will have an answer by the end of this week UGA (top choice): Interviewed - they said that their will be another interview with other faculty and should be scheduled next week. They only accept 12 grad student for the entire MFA program.

My friend is getting his MFA at OSU for printmaking. He said that Sergio is the only professor in that department and barely interviewed him for the program. So hopefully it'll be easy for you too!

interview with OSU on Wednesday!

I understand that - but it sounds like you know of some names of schools that have this healthy stipend. All of the schools I'm looking at are fully funded, but I would ideally like stipends that are something over 15,000 - 20,000+ a year. Plus I'm looking for more interdisciplinary photo programs.

What programs might you suggest?

So I've been lurking on here for a few weeks, and I noticed there isn't a new freak out forum! I primarily make work in photography. I received my BA in film production in 2018, and now I'm looking for a Photography MFA. I'm doing my best to find full funding as I don't have parents/money/etc. Here are my top schools I would like to apply/attend: University of South Florida The University of Texas at Austin Georgia State University University of Georgia (Other choices: Iowa, U of M, UNC Chapel Hill, OSU) If anyone knows anything about those four tops school, I would be grateful to know more! ~*FREAK OUT*~
