Wondering if anyone has any insight on RISD vs SAIC sculpture programs. I know it all depends on one's practice and where they see it fit however I would appreciate if anyone can give me more info

Ah just saw your edit

Thank you again!! Really this is so reassuring if all works out and I love that saying, makes sense. Thank you so much for the time you put into helping me and giving advice to the stranger on the internet. Wishing you the best of luck with your move, studies and everything. Hope you hear some good news from these schools. Best of luck, you're a very kind person. ???

Thank you so much for the thorough response. It really means a lot that you took the time to write all this. Okay so I am from Dubai so of course 90% of other countries (or at least the ones I've been to) are too cold for me haha, so I think this is something I will have to live with, and I do come from a city, so I guess the scenery is more like a park to walk and spend time rather than a hills and mountains (even though that is also nice). It sounds great from what you've described, let's hope things work out. As for university campus, its actually School of the Arts Institute of Chicago, is the area around there safer (than U of Chicago)? Also good luck with your move, are you moving for school or a job or other reasons? Either way hoping all works out, I think it's a little challenging nowadays but hopefully things improve by the end of the year. Thank you ?

Also thank you for doing this. Very kind of you to take the time

I am just curious about the city overall. I am an international-potential student. I was accepted into a school in Chicago and it's one of my top choices, however, sadly it's not that easy to visit at this time. I want to know about transport, safety, scenery-or not, weather and living there I guess. I know that's too broad but whenever I google it's either too negative or too positive (which is understandable as people have different opinions) but I'd like a general idea of it as a city. Also I know it's very cold there- are seasons other than winter manageable?

I am just confused as what I've applied to has a deadline of Jan 10

Hi, Asking for a friend, on saic 's website, it says mfa in fiber and materials studies deadline is on the 1st of April, is that right or am I confusing it with something else? Thanks ??

Is this thread still active? I have some questions ?

Just finished my slade interview, it goes by quickly and they ask why slade, your influences, a question about your art/practice and then if you have any questions. Hope that's helpful ?

I am also still waiting to hear from RISD ceramics (after interview), I guess it can either be different programs respond at different times or the other possible outcome. I guess we wait and see.

How is everyone dealing with the wait to hear from schools whether before or after interview? trying to stay calm??

Is it bad that all my interviews are with 1 member of faculty? ?

Thank you so much ? Best of luck and hoping you hear some good news!!!

Mine is in a little bit, any pointers/advice ?
