Here is a recent painting I just completed: https://www.albertabdulbarrwang.art/portfolios/selected-paintings--2023----/view/6803647/1/6928731 My website is at: https://www.albertabdulbarrwang.art/

Nice... yeah in some ways I am not surprised that Yale rejected me since I already have my MPH from there before. I don't think that institutions like the idea of having a person in one place too long LoL. I have a thriving studio practice in fact. I just sold a painting with a NFT at XVERSO so I know that it's worth doing this!

Evaluation of my programs so far: Yale University Sculpture (REJECTED) Yale University Painting and Printmaking (REJECTED) UCLA New Genres or Photography (WAITING) Columbia University Printmaking (WAITING) School of the Art Institute of Chicago Painting/Drawing (REJECTED) School of the Art Institute of Chicago Photography (INTERVIEW COMPLETED) School of the Art Institute of Chicago Sculpture (REJECTED) Calarts (California Institute of the Arts) Art (Integrated Media addition) (REJECTED) Calarts (California Institute of the Arts) Art + Technology (INTERVIEW PENDING) Calarts (California Institute of the Arts) Photography and Media (Integrated Media addition) (REJECTED) ArtCenter College of Design Art (INTERVIEW PENDING) Hope this spreadsheet helps now

I am so sorry to hear about this Gaara. I hope that you find the program of your dreams soon.

OMG I just got an interview set up for the 24th for ArtCenter and am overjoyed! That leaves UCLA and Columbia left to hear back for an interview.

Hmmm... going straight out of undergrad in photography but I already have an English bachelor's and masters in public health. and yourself?

Thanks for the update. I am going to assume that I got rejected from Columbia printmaking which leaves ArtCenter and UCLA open to interview and next week will be my Calarts interview hopefully

My virtual interview with Calarts for Arts and Tech will occur on 2/23/23 woot!

No Columbia yet and I applied there for printmaking.

Just finished my photo interview with SAIC today.

Still no word from ArtCenter, UCLA, or Columbia yet. Sighs

Got official rejections from SAIC for painting/drawing and sculpture yesterday so leaves photo for this weekend.

I don't think that UCLA has said anything yet. I am thinking more of next week. It's pretty early. I still haven't heard from ArtCenter or Columbia either.

applied to COlumbia and they haven't said anything yet.

Ironically I am a current photo major and I decided to apply not to the Yale photo program but the other two visual arts ones. Maybe they prefer you to stay in your own ballpark?

Double rejection from Yale today.

I haven't heard anything from UCLA yet. I still need to hear from Columbia, Yale, ArtCenter.

Just got interview requests for SAIC Photography MFA and Calarts Arts and Tech MFA programs today.

I did the priority deadline for SAIC but haven't heard any of the three departments I applied for yet.

I haven't heard back from any of the schools I applied to yet.

I am in the same boat. FInancial aid/scholarships will be a huge factor and I can always do a second round if I don't get the proper aid to attend this upcoming fall.

In any case, I did apply to two programs at Yale. First, I will see whether I get in. Second, I will see what money they will give me. Plus the community of Yalies are pretty nice. One of my close friends attends there and she LOVES it. So no regrets.

Just give material and media and year for the work. They are going to be too busy to read through heavy descriptions.

Trying to take a huge break and work in the art studio during the holidays. Exploring new avenues. Next month will be fun.

Yale art program is fully funded if you qualify. Basically I suspect your family has to be impoverished.
