Hi,
Been posting here for a while now, but haven’t done my list yet. I applied to:
-SMFA: Interviewed last week
-UCLA: Interviewed last week
-Northwestern: Interviewing this week
- Yale: Interviewing next week
If anyone is interviewing with these schools and wants to talk about it, please hit me up via DM.
I also have experience interviewing with CalArts from the other year I applied. I am super hyped about this whole process. I’ve learned a lot and I am enjoying it although the wait is annoying.Also, anyone have experience with social hours with current students? Any advice? I have my first “social hour” on Saturday. Good luck to everybody!!!!!
Hii, could you share some of your interview expierence with CalArts. I got an invitation for an interview from them last week and im soooo nervous. Have no idea what to expect ...
