Gahhhhhhh

Thank you for the info! I can move on now ?

Congratulations! Uconn was my top choice but I haven't heard back from them. Sooo... ? But really excited for you! May I ask how did you hear about your acceptance? Also did you have an interview?

Was interviewed by Randy West. UConn is my top choice.

? . Thinking out loud, maybe I should also email the faculty who interviewed me? SVA is great school but it wasn't THE top choice (but its up there among the others), because I knew the financial hurdle would be a difficult one for me. And I did ask about/for aid during my interview, so its kinda sad that I maybe not have been considered for it. Just followed you on IG!

I already emailed the Admissions, got a response similar to the acceptance letter. They asked me to contact the photo department, so going to do that now. Already emailed the Financial aid office.

Sure, will do! I got my offer on Monday. But I didn't think it was strange because during my interview, last week, I was told that I should hear back in a week.

I got an offer from SVA and have been wondering the same. I am going to contact the Financial Aid department and see what they have to offer. I was really surprised that there was no mention of financial aid in the acceptance letter, especially because during my interview I was told I should hear about financial aid soon after the acceptance. Am an international applicant, so I am in a similar situation where FAFSA isn't an option for me. The 1000$ deposit had me worried, but I have another offer now so not too stressed about it. I would definitely write or call the financial aid people.

Out of three only one was a Professor. I graduated in 2017.

Hello everyone! I had two interviews this week and thanks to many who posted questions they were asked, I was more or less prepared. So thought I would share my experience. 1st interview was with Syracuse on Tuesday - The interview was pretty chill. My interview was with the Director of graduate studies and he set the tone right off the bat, and made me relax a bit. Our conversation was around an hour long, in which they asked me two questions and the rest of the time was allotted to me to ask them any questions I had regarding the program. Question 1: How would the audience know what you were trying to convey if you weren't there near them to explain what your work was about. This was to gauge if i understood the "grammar of photography" (their words). - I think I answered this question pretty well. Question 2: What are you going to explore and work on in your graduate studies. - I think I didn't do a great job answering this, though I knew what I wanted to say. Maybe it was the nerves of it being my first interview. I read people talking about mock interviews, I wish I had done that. 2nd interview was today with SVA - Again a pretty chill conversation style interview with Director of operations. 35- 40 mins long. Again just two questions, with plenty of preface about the why I was being asked that particular question, and then when I finished answering discussing my answers with me. I thought this interview went really well Question 1: Why do you want to pursue MFA? You needn't specifically talk about it in respect to SVA. - I answered about why I wanted to take up graduate studies and also why in SVA. Question 2: How do you see your work being presented / what form will it take? And they explained that this answer will probably change with time and that I should answer what by gut instinct is regarding this? After which I asked him two questions. Two down, Five more to go ? (Photo / Studio Art Major) All the best everyone! You got this!

Congratulations! When did you hear from them about the interview? Was it via an email? Also what was the interview like? How long was it and what kind of questions did they ask? Thanks!
