I think something that helps me through this time is remembering there is quite a bit of subjectivity in these processes. Programs in any given year may be interested in working with artists whose work addresses things that align with the focus of their current cohort or maybe, oppositely, want to choose artists who have different approaches/material interests than their current cohort. So much is about fit, not always about the quality of the work. Also, I went to the UCLA open house and heard one professor say that she was looking for work that "excited" her, and I try to keep that in mind as well. Everyone's ideas about that can really be different. And also, on a personal level, I know my work tends to be very "quiet" and that isn't everyone's cup of tea, but in the end, I can only be myself. Hopefully this encourages a little!

Anyone receive an interview request from Bard Sculpture?

I thought someone on here had received a request from Columbia Sculpture? I hadn't so I crossed it off my list /:

I received an interview request a few days ago for CalArts art program...nothing on the others yet!

Congratulations! And thank you for passing on the info!

Hahaha ??

That sounds really exciting and right up my alley, I love experimentation and conceptual play! My only concern is that I work in more bio-tech and that won't gel as well with their programming...

Thank you for sharing your opinion as well! I have an interview scheduled for the art + tech program, so it helps to hear these things. I'm originally from California, so that vibe is familiar to me, but I do think it's important to taken in people's perspectives, as I've never visited any of the schools I applied to!

I really appreciate you taking time to share your experience, a variety of perspectives is really helpful!

Yes, same, if you prefer to share privately!

Can you share more about your experience? This concerns me as CalArts was one of my top choices, but I've never visited the campus...

Hey all, I reached out to Cal Arts admissions and they said interview requests will be going out either today or early next week, just a heads up!

I waited a little bit, like a day and a half, but then, yes. It felt right to me.

Is it just me, or is sculpture always last to decide anything?

Nothing here, I'm guessing that isn't a great sign ?

I also applied to Cal Arts and didn't do the video, from what I remember it said that was optional!

Congratulations and good luck!!

As I expected, rejected from Yale.... : ( Interview with CCA on Tuesday, and 8 more programs to hear back from! Wishing stamina and courage to everyone else in this process, it isn't for the faint of heart!

I was wondering the same thing, I know it's a long shot to get to the interview round, but it would be nice to know one way or the other ?

Thank you so much!

Sure! my website is https://lisabanta.com/

Congratulations!!! ?

Thank you! Still waiting on all the other programs I applied to, but I'm honestly so relieved, best of luck to you! ✨

I don't know much about the program, but I've toured the school a couple of times and really liked the facilities. One of their buildings is in an old glass factory, and it's really beautiful.

Just got an interview request from CCA! ?
