    Similarly, those wondering about RISD, two years ago I got a rejection around March 11th. I think RISD falls under the umbrella of schools who send rejections way after sending interviews/acceptances. Kind of annoying imo.. but yeah.

    Just got an interview for Yale painting also! Very exciting news!

    I don't know about sculpture, but a friend of mine got an email last week from RISD Painting for an interview. So maybe the rest will be coming out soon.

    Oh wow yeah, I had a lot of these professors too lol, or at least interacted with them. Definitely had Buchwald for a few years, quite the character but I learned a lot. Masback was cool too, had him and Joe Stauber senior year. Kit and Greg were great, not my professors but had them in my studio a lot. I actually didn't have Michael Brennan though, I had Jen Mazza for seminar towards the end of my time there. She might have been newer to the program by that time? Anyway, nice to see a fellow Pratt alum on here.

    If you don't mind me asking, what year did you finish Pratt? I attended Pratt for undergrad as well, however I was in the drawing department. Finished in 2018.

    Just received an interview email from Stanford!

    Adding to the conversation to stand in solidarity with those who are already feeling anxious lol. For those who don't know, painter here. Already submitted all applications to: Stanford, UCLA, and Yale. This is also my second time around, since I wasn't happy in the program I initially accepted an offer from in 2020. Really don't foresee myself wanting to apply for a third time.. too much work and stress. Hoping for the best this time around, for myself and you all. xoxo

    I've wondered about this too and am curious what other people think. From my experience, when I interviewed at Bard & Rutgers (two years ago) the faculty on each panel did actually bring this up to me. It seemed like they were gauging my interest in their programs based on the schools I had listed. Bard's questioning seemed more explicit since it was the only low res program I had applied to. I would say that it did not hurt my application though.

    Hey there! Maybe this can help: A former professor of mine advised that when writing an opening statement I should imagine that the faculty don't have my work in front of them. He suggested having the first two sentences visually describe my work in a way that will also state my thesis. I should also add that this professor was an advocate for simplicity and recommended getting straight to "the point" in hopes of getting the faculty hooked from the jump, while being as clear as possible. Obviously this isn't the only way to write an opening statement, and maybe you already know this, so take it all with a grain of salt. This advice did help me though. Anyway, hope that makes sense and is helpful. Best of luck!

    I just submitted my application to Stanford. If it makes you feel any better I was definitely extremely anxious all of last week. It's definitely nerve-wracking, putting oneself out there like that, on top of everything else going on in the world. Anyway, we'll all get through this, slowly but surely. Best of luck to you, and everyone else applying.

    Okay I am just now seeing this and want to vouch for the person posting about Bard, they are not lying. I too am technically still enrolled at Bard (you can check back when I posted in the thread from two years about getting in) and Bard is not doing so hot right now. All that was mentioned is true. However, everyone do as you please.

    I too attended the Stanford info session (thanks for the link). I have to say, I wasn't expecting the stipend to be that high! Very generous. Also pretty impressed with the visiting artists they mentioned. I think Stanford might rank a little higher on my list now.. Good luck to those also applying, December 1st is not very far away.
  13. Pickle555
    Do any of the people attending this Stanford info session have the link? I can't seem to find it anywhere and am interested. TY!

    @xu6ing My situation isn't identical, but the topic of asking for letters of rec (again) has definitely crossed my mind. I will echo what everyone else has already said and say that your former professors should be more than understanding. I only participated in my program for a few months, but I do remember when I first started and things were very bad, re: covid, our co-chairs subtly mentioned that if anyone was considering other options and needed letters they would be more than happy to help. Obviously this won't be the same for everyone, but I bring this up because, in my opinion, professors should want whats best for the student, and if that means transferring programs I'd hope that they'd understand. Anyway, I think someone else also mentioned this, but they do have the option to say yes or no. Nonetheless, good luck! I'm feeling a bit stressed about letters of rec as well, so I sympathize!

    Hello everyone. I am also back again. Applied for the first time two years ago. Was accepted to Bard (Painting) and Rutgers. Turned down Rutgers' offer and accepted Bard's (a decision I have come to regret). Bard sort of turned into a mess (for me) so I'm now applying to other programs. I'm still deciding on a final list, but this is where I'm at right now: (these are in no particular order) -Northwestern University -University of Chicago -Yale University -Stanford University -maybe Rutgers Hoping for the best this time around.
  16. Pickle555
    oooo, love this info. i'm a bard "1st year," got in right when covid happened and did the part time thing, then took a leave this past summer. I was already highly considering applying elsewhere this year, so this is very good to know!!!
  17. Pickle555
    If this helps, I got off a waitlist a little over a month after being notified about being put on the waitlist. Best of luck.

    oh lord, all these aggressive attempts to evangelize this forum with "radical" thoughts are so exasperating. if you think we haven't heard it all before, or aren't living in the same world that y'all are........ girl, delusion. i hear you all, but there comes a point where it stops being accessible and turns into people just getting off on listening to themselves think/speak. so much energy/potential in the wrong place.. xoxo

    I was sort of under the impression that Bard was basically trying to postpone this summers session until next summer, at least that's what I was told via email. I'm going to wait until that zoom meeting to make any decisions. Thanks about Rutgers. Now that it is an option I'm thinking that financially it makes more sense for me. I'm also second guessing whether or not a low res program would be more beneficial or not. I don't necessarily feel that I have strenuous responsibilities at the moment that would stop me from moving somewhere (potentially) in the fall. But of course if Bard does in fact postpone this summer it would also help greatly. Lol I'm suddenly a little all over the place. We'll see what happens.

    Accepted to Rutgers earlier today after being put on the waitlist, for anyone still waiting to hear back... sort of took me by surprise as I was nearly about ready to accept Bard's offer. Maybe a little less sure about Bard now.. Anyway, just an update for y'all. xoxo
  21. Pickle555
    I am in a similar position with Bard, except I've also considered saying no and hoping my waitlist at another school ends up in my favor. Making a decision by the 23rd of March seems too soon for me. Even if I accept their offer and end up getting in somewhere else, or something else happens, I'm not sure how comfortable I am with throwing money away on the deposit...basically I'm conflicted as well. Because they haven't reached out about any cancelations I guess they want us to assume that they're planning on continuing with their regular schedule, but I think asking about extending the decision deadline seems understandable.
  22. Pickle555
    Thanks, I applied for painting. The phone call was from the painting department. I was there on Saturday too, I wasn't expecting anything until Friday. But during the phone call they did mention that official letters would be sent out on Friday. Maybe specific to painting?
  23. Pickle555
    For anyone still waiting to hear back from Rutgers, I just go an email saying I was placed on the waitlist. Also received a phone call from Bard yesterday saying I got accepted.
  24. Pickle555
    This may not be too helpful but I haven't heard anything yet, post interview..
  25. Pickle555
    I'm on this RISD train with you. I know the application status page says that they send decisions out mid-March, but if they're going to wait until mid-March to send me a rejection..........girl...!
