Hey everyone! I haven't posted at all this year, but I'm really stoked to be applying this year. I applied to University of South Florida, Florida State, University of Florida, Bard, Syracuse, Laguna College of Art, and Maine College of Art. I'm panicking about getting in so I picked a lot of programs to apply to this year. Bard already has my info from applying last year and they really liked my work last year so I am reapplying. I hope the faculty doesn't walk out again? I found the Bard MFA meme page and I'm a little frightened tbh. Not sure what happened there? The focus of my practice at the moment is painting, but I did start to get into installation work pre-covid and want to dig into that for grad school when I have more time/support. I currently manage a gallery and coffee house in St. Augustine, FL and sell body jewelry on Etsy. I hope everyone gets in where they want to go and good luck finishing up final touches on your applications! ?

Hi everyone! I figured I would jump on here and introduce myself, because I have most of my apps in and just am waiting on letters of rec and finishing my portfolio on Slideroom. I'm applying to Syracuse, Bard, New York Academy, Calarts, University of Florida, University of South Florida, Laguna College of Art and Design, University of Georgia, Florida Atlantic University, and maybe Florida State. The focus of my practice is painting, but I am starting to do installations. My biggest reason for wanting to go to graduate school now is that I want to teach at a college level instead of teaching elementary school art. I have a lot of health problems and quit during covid so I wouldn't get sick and I also worked in a children's hospital doing art with the kids, but during Covid I was placed on leave for health reasons. The pandemic ruined the direction of my career so I would like to just go for it and get an MFA so I can maybe get more job opportunities. Does anyone know if Florida University's are competitive for MFA programs? I am a Florida native and licensed to teach here so I honestly don't want to move out of state for grad school, but I have a few options if I do. Also good luck to everyone applying!

Has anyone heard back from Bard yet? I think their interview requests go out on the 12th but I’m not sure

?yes we will

Lol as you said that I just got my rejection letter too

So I haven’t seen much about Carnegie in this forum, have any of you applied there? I applied to Tyler, Bard, and CMU this year and haven’t heard back from any. I’m going to assume I got rejected from Tyler, because it sounds like they already did interviews. Also has anyone heard back from CMU or Bard?

Hey I applied and I haven’t heard anything yet. I think they’re behind on everything rn, because when I emailed them to check if my transcripts were there the person in charge of admissions (Julie Azzam) said that she’s quarantining until further notice. And this was about a week ago
