  1. From what I saw last year they give pretty decent stipends--but then again I'm not sure if everyone was fully funded like it is now. I hope it is, though! Congrats again!
  2. I applied for the Art program. One of the current MFAs told me he heard from them the day after the interview day. Good luck!
  3. Today was my last interview day--so happy to be done! For those who were wondering about CalArts: all the School of Arts programs at interviewed today. It's a really nice, school, I liked the vibe here more than SAIC. Everyone is very friendly and approachable. I was told we would find out as early as tomorrow, so we'll see how it works out!
  4. I've been hesitant to apply as well because of the two year thing--but I definitely will after grad school! I'm soo looking forward to ACA, I have friends who have gone who said it was great too. I wish it was still fully funded though (they're only giving $500 scholarships now :/).
  5. Congrats!! I found out last night I was waitlisted. Is that where you'll go? Did they inform you of funding?
  6. Accepted to SAIC printmedia via email.
  7. Fine Arts Work Center, Atlantic Center for the Arts (got in), elsewhere southern constellations, Millay and Art Omi (not accepted).
  8. Waitlisted at Rutgers.
  9. It would take a lot more than a mysterious writing fellowship to sway me to go to SAIC after the interview I had with that department, that's for sure! Now that you're nearly done with interviews, which school(s) are you leaning towards?
  10. congrats to you both on RCA!
  11. I applied with video and images. I saw a lot of activity on Vimeo in February (6 views throughout the month), but nothing so far this month. I hope it's a good sign.

    bumping this to get updates on housing since most of these replies are from two or more years ago.
  13. Just got an email that I've been accepted to the Photo department at SAIC and as a "writing fellow,"no word on funding. Surprised to have been accepted by that department, honestly.
  14. Oh, I see. That's really quick turnaround--how I think it should be for all schools, honestly! How did your interview go? I hope you get good news tomorrow, good luck!
  15. Some people were rejected a few weeks ago, some people were invited to interview March 4th, but other than that, no word yet. I know they accepted some people last year without interviews but who knows if they'll do that again this year.
  16. Congrats!! Do you think that's where you'll go?
  17. Congrats!! I've heard great things about UPenn's program, I would've applied there myself except I didn't want to shell out an extra $200+ to have my degree from the UK verified. I've already expressed my opinion on SAIC (or rather, what I've been told repeatedly by other people), so I won't go into again.
  18. CalArts interviews are next week.
  19. I'm pretty sure that's where I'm going, but I have one more interview (CalArts), so I'll wait to accept until after then. I also want to see what the funding situation is (although I know tuition is covered). What about you?
  20. Just got an email saying I've been accepted at UCI--so excited!!
  21. Sorry to hear that. May I ask for which department? Why are these coming out so slowly...? Bah!
  22. Will they let you skype instead?
  23. The only school I've had cover expenses is UCI.
  24. I just got back from my interview and tour of UCI. They said we'd hear back as soon as a week from now but within two weeks from now for sure. I'm soooo in love with UCI--just everything about it is amazing. Definitely my best interview experience yet--I really hope I get in! Did they ask where else you applied, too? Re SAIC: For Photo I interviewed with Jan Tichy, two lecturers (which I thought was odd), and three graduate students. I did it via skype so I could barely hear the people on the far left and right of the group, which was unfortunate because one of them happened to ask the most questions and I kept having to ask her to repeat herself...I just really didn't like the vibe at all...and literally everyone I meet now tells me not to go there (funny, considering before I applied tons of people told me to apply even though I'd scratched them off my list). Even at my interview this morning they told me not to go there! But I should mention again, the Printmedia department was completely different, really sweet and complimentary people... I feel relieved, one more interview to go...
  25. From different departments? Like, throughout UCI? I think mine is just going to be with one or two professors and a graduate student, at least that's what I was told. Nothing really went south with my SAIC interview, I just felt the panel wasn't very friendly--they had this vibe like "we're photographers, you're not, why are you using our medium?" Which I didn't expect from a school that's all about interdisciplinarity. Conversely, the Printmedia interview was spectacular.
