  1. Well my journey for my graduate degree in Design has come to a slow stop. Yale - Rejected EKA - Rejected SVA - Accepted (no aid) Otis - Accepted (scholarship 50% aid) ArtCenter - Accepted (scholarship 50% aid) Still deciding between Otis and ArtCenter, it has been a hectic and costly journey. Wishing everyone the best of luck, and thank you for answering my questions!
  2. Hey! I applied for Graphic Design, I saw you posted prior if anyone else got accepted to Otis for graphic design. I got accepted to Otis! EKA seems like a really great program especially the semester abroad in Berlin. I had an interview on the 19th of March and am still awaiting to hear their response. They mentioned it is a fairly new program so I'm curious on how it would stand with my other schools. I've been accepted to ArtCenter, SVA, and Otis and am awaiting from EKA. Regarding SVA - I've heard some mixed responses regarding their program and school administration specifically the design program. Let me know if you have questions!
  3. That's a really great question that I've been asking myself this whole time. I've also applied to ArtCenter in Pasadena, and EKA in Estonia and am awaiting their decision. What I've seen with Otis is their student work is conceptually strong, and there seems to be a strong connection with industry studios in LA, they also have some international offerings which is great. However if you know anything about Otis let me know!!! I think personally for that matter of debt in attending SVA and the quality of life I may have paying off that debt is not worth it for a MFA in Design, it's my top pick and it hurts a-lot to say but I simply cannot afford that. As a $150k in debt plus interest over time may be a $200k and more. just wish the school was more supportive.
  4. No its SVA Design - the job placement would be in the school so like tech, studio aid, photography aid, nothing outside, not even as a TA.
  5. I'm in the same dilemma also. I was also super motivated to attend SVA due to its faculty and the opportunities it could provide once I graduated. However once I did my financial modelling I realized I would be around over 150k in debt including tuition, rent , food. etc. I reached out to them and asked if they offered any financial support and all I got was a job placement at the uni for 5k - 20 hours a week per semester. I feel a bit defeated due to this, and even if I were to apply to the scholarships provided I would still be in a lot of debt. I got an offer for Otis college of art and design in LA with 50% tuition covered and this is looking like my new path now. I totally know where you're coming from and trust me you're not the only one.
  6. Does anyone know about ArtCenters decision making process. I checked the application portal and it says 'Decision Sent' but I have no clue if it's through email or mail, considering I am an international student I am weary if it's through mail. Also if I even got accepted of rejected - there were no interviews for me. Any knowledge??
  7. Wait did ArtCenter send you an acceptance? I haven't yet received neither a rejection of acceptance. And based on your question I think both are great choices to pick from, and it would be more based on what you would like to get out of your degree. I think both schools offer really different offerings.
  8. Got you! This makes sense, especially considering that acceptances are taking place in mid March. This helps a lot and has helped me calmed my nerves, thanks so much!
  9. No, it was for a MFA in Design
  10. I had an interview on the 23rd of Feb, and received an email of acceptance the following day. I accepted, and placed my deposit.... but now I'm worried I won't receive any assistance.
  11. Hey, I did not, I had no clue there were departmental scholarships, I received a pdf with my acceptance regarding scholarships to apply for but that's about it. I hope I didn't miss my shot!
  12. Hey everyone, Has anyone received any financial packages from SVA? I applied and got accepted however I have not received any financial aid or scholarships, which is now completely shifting my decision of attending.
