[MFA Studio Programs with Spring Admission]

Oh, and I forgot to mention SFAI....good school, pricey, lots of options and various aid.

[MFA Studio Programs with Spring Admission]

East Carolina University in Greenville, NC has admissions both semesters. If your interested send me any questions about it.

keep in mind that East Carolina is one of the only MFA programs that I have seen that requires a GRE....not sure why, but whatever.

[MFA Studio Programs with Spring Admission]

Also Montclair State has Spring and rolling for Fall. I was told today that if I can get my stuff in within a couple weeks I can be considered for THIS fall. Too soon for me to move across the country but I will apply by November for Spring. Montclair has TA's and also location location location. Super close Access to New York while living cheap in NJ...plus a decent price on tuition. Parking on campus is one of the worst around from what I hear, but I am not taking that into account. Location is key for me.

[Starting the Process for 2011]

Okay, its about that time to start gearing up and getting organized for apps in the fall.... I don't know about you all but I am starting to stress about narrowing down my schools. I think the easy part will be writing the letters, etc. I have a list a mile long of schools that fit my needs, wants, etc....anyone else in the same boat? My goal this summer was to have my schools picked and start draft letters, but I can't even narrow it down... I think I am gonna go broke over-applying! Where are you all in the selection process?

[What the hell have I gotten myself into?]

Hey there SQ...I am in the same (sorta) boat you are right now. I am 35, post-bacc at the UofA, working my butt off in lots of grad art classes and getting ready to apply. I had a plan for my summer...write all my prelim letters, organize, etc..but that is already out the window. I am a nervous wreck just trying to decide what schools to pick... I am a photographer and video artist, but do a lot of curating as well. I am trying to find a good overall program instead of a studio concentration, but we will see. My BA is not in art so I have been jamming classes for about a year. So far I am looking at the following:

UCSD (MFA or PhD)

U of Rochester (PhD)

UC Irvine (PhD)

UC Santa Cruz (PhD)

CCA - Social Practice

NYU

U of Buffalo - MFA Emerging Practices

UC Riverside - Visual Arts

NorthWestern - Art Theory & Practice

Pratt - MFA/MS

MICA

U Illinois - New Media

Otis

...and I am sure there are more that will make the list...

We can figure this out I'm sure...hang in there! Glad I found this forum...
