It depends on where you live... https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html#

I’m so sorry! What an awful predicament to be in. I was reading about it yesterday, but it’s not my situation. Here is the article: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/03/30/prospective-international-students-face-logistical-hurdles-related-visas-and-travel Would a school even let a person start late? Covid continues to really suck. And applying to grad school during covid? A nightmare. ?. Just look how many more pages the forum is than on average! More applicants, less slots. I’m going to try again next year. At least I learned a lot.

I was reading about international students having trouble getting F1 Visas right now. Is anyone experiencing this? If so, what’s your plan?

Who’s accepting today?? Where are you headed? Post people! It’s been a journey...that will continue for me next year. YOLO = shoot for the moon ?

Solid advice, unless that is that you’d MUCH rather go to your first choice... in that case, don’t settle. Apply again next year

To those still undecided, will you make a choice on or before the 15th deadline? What will change between now and then? Decision time is upon us people

Rutgers isn’t even taking a cohort this year

This is from 2017... is there an updated version by chance? Either way, interesting. Thanks for sharing

Uggg I feel you. What now??

This really resonates with me. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your insights. It does sound like a great experience if you can afford it! Ha have most people on here made decisions? Still waiting on schools? It’s gotten really quiet... Columbia????

Anybody want to weigh in on RISD painting? Is it worth it? (If you had some funding, but not a ton)

Trying to decide the same thing about RISD (see above). It’s such a hard decision! I’ve heard so many times to follow the money... the debt is probably not worth it. Please weigh in people!

I like the faculty, but even with some funding, I’m not sure it’s worth it. ?

Anybody trying to decide about RISD painting? It’s so expensive i don’t know whether to wait and reapply to other places or just to go for it.

Yeah, odds for Yale are low like I assumed. Might be worth applying again next year if you’re waitlisted I would think... they know your work, they like you enough to interview, it’s got to raise your chances next time!

Anybody else that’s waitlisted... how are you feeling about it? What are the chances? When I look back at past forums it seems like people definitely get in later, but for top programs like Yale and RISD, does it happen?

Hunter rejection (painting) via email this am. Oh well... anybody trying to decide between RISD and Yale (if Yale ever sends out acceptances)?! Not sure what I would do

Ah good luck! hard choices!

Has anybody else accepted or declined RISD for painting? Sure, it's great and all, but SO. MUCH. $$$. Even with funding aid.

Hey hello, what did you end up doing about RISD?
