MYJ2020

I got to visit their open house last year. Their MFA programs are fully funded + TA, which is great. Also Atlanta is less expensive compared to other cities. Depends on what you're concerned about I guess, finance? reputation? ...

I'm accepted to another school and am thinking of deferment too. Everything is unpredictable now and honestly I don't know if things are going back to normal by Fall.

Also my tip for appealing the aid package: be serious but optimistic, polite, excited about the program, and do not whine or pout.  It is easy to whine or pout in this situation but you need to seem like a positive-minded, forward-thinking, mature person who is grateful for the offer and wants to make it work.  Not someone who has even the slightest twinge of resentment or self-pity (this was a challenge for me personally, as one of my big faults is painful class anxiety).  Pretend you haven't yet been admitted and are still trying to impress.  Dress well.  Don't tell a complex sob story.  Smile while you talk--you got in, things are looking up already, and they can hear the smile in your voice.  Good luck!

Stanford Art Practice- anybody heard anything from them? I'm waiting for this rejection really badly to forget about it and move on

anyone have any experience/opinions about Washington Univerity in St. Louis's mfa program? Would really appreciate it!!

Hi, would anyone give me some suggestions on what are some great question to ASK THEM (i.e the schools&interviewers)...I always find it hard to come up with good ones
