Typically it's March-ish but I don't know with the new COVID era protocol when it would be nowadays. Probably the same?

That's correct :)

Good luck! I can't wait to hear any results from this year's round.

That's interesting. I know that a lot of the top tier schools don't really do that as they get so many applications. In fact basically they just project the images on a huge screen and go through them one by one. So websites being looked at would be an exception and not the norm.

Linking a website doesn't matter. The committee doesn't bother with that during decision making. They have too many applicants to look over.

Hunter is also pretty diverse. They have a large pool of folks so they can have a large number of categories to engage with. http://www.huntermfastudio.org/students

Long weeks ahead.

You're welcome and good luck w/ your apps!

Yes if they don't say anything, that is.

feel free to email me

I can look over your portfolio if you wish to e-mail me regarding this :). Hope that helps.

Thanks and yes I enjoy being busy... also I managed to start a new gallery here in downtown SLC so exciting times!

I am not a post-undergrad but I have made a ton of connections via my SVA online residency which I did last summer. I also applied for this upcoming semester as well. I am a full-time student with no job and right now I am running a new art gallery while going to school and maintaining a steady practice.

Thanks Nora. Do you have an art website which I could peruse?

My gut feeling is that it is ideal to ask for letters from folks who can attest to your ability to develop as an artist and evolve in your art practice. If your history professor can talk about how you will become a more refined artist then the person would be good to ask.

Not sure but that is listed here for your interest- https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-15-top-art-schools-united-states

I don't apply for at least 2.5 years but I have like 15 schools on my list.

I will be in 2.5 years :)

Thanks for sharing. I gather that you are leaning towards printmaking but I looked over your website and curious if you find your practice closer to that of graphic design?

I don't think so... most likely sculpture will be harder to get in whether it's 1 or 3-4. When I apply there I will go for all three categories mainly because I haven't a clue whether my conceptual art will go best in any although tbh I am leaning towards photography.

Another rather useful guide to the MFA application:

Yale vids are up now:

It depends on what you want to do. Health policy/activism you want to base it off the name especially if you plan to go into politics. Yale and Harvard will melt politicans in the room. For research however, go by professors you are akin to within your research field. Don't force a program which doesn't fit because you will spending much time in labs and in the field working on a long-term project.

I think that Harvard is the better choice as its name carries more international weight.

Rutgers is definitely on my radar to apply for within 1.5 years. I expect art schools to get much more competitive. Places like Columbia are going to be harder to get into I suspect. Will find out sooner or later. Artist statements/statement of intent should be interesting to write. 500 words or less I think? I plan to write a separate statement for every place I apply to.
