I know...I thought they'd have them during the open studios the following weekend. Well...now I know that trip to Chicago I made in September was definitely worth it. I'm happy I got to see all the schools since it will definitely be skype interviews across the board (if I'm selected for a Northwestern interview, that is). From hence forth, I'm praying to the MFA gods that no more interviews take place in February...please, please make it March!

Northwestern folks-- Just emailed the graduate program assistant at Northwestern and heres the timeline: Finalizing interviewees on Friday, contacting people next week. Interviews will be *long sigh* February 26th and 27th. -__________- WHY!?!?!??!?!?!

Well, no one has heard from Northwestern yet--so there's still hope for your other top choice! And good luck with your UO interview!

YAY CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!

Oh please don't let it be the 28th...I'd much prefer it to be the following week.

Congrats!! And congrats to all my fellow SAIC interviewees. Good luck to us all!!

Congrats! Are you doing it in person or Skype?

It's nice to see all the interview requests picking up this week. I feel like everything has been moving fairly slow the past few weeks and I'm sick of waiting!

congrats on the UMichigan interviews!

Thanks! I just hope the interviews are in March so I can actually make it to at least one Chicago interview. Blegh!

Thanks! I'm surprised I got an interview request from SAIC because my CV was wonky (I realized after I submitted I had two big typos) and I've been second guessing the portfolio I sent. I also applied to Printmedia so we'll see if I get anything from them too. I got it via phone call. I'm going to update the results page.

Just got an interview request for SAIC Photo department. This one will be skype (again!) because I'll be flying from Vermont to New York. I REALLY want to hear from Northwestern....what's going on?!

Yeah, whoever it is might've meant to put art history.

womp womp womp. I'm assuming rejection at this point unless each department contacts people separately, since that person is Painting/Drawing and I applied for photo.

ooo, nice! Congrats and good luck!

Which department did you apply to?

No change on mine either. Maybe it'll be midnight? or Monday?

Yeah, I got that too! Frustrating.

Just saw someone added an acceptance to UC Davis in the results--congrats to whoever you are! I hope the others who interviewed get good news too!

Yay! Congrats!

Lol. At first, when I saw it, I logged into my account and was like: "But....I want mine to say that tooo....." I was all sad and stuff...then realized it was a joke and felt better.

I know, I'm thinking the same thing. But I'm guessing it's a joke now.

Yup--you just have to tell the school you want them official which just means they'll be sealed with a registrar stamp across the back so you can't open it without it being obvious. I got about ten a few months ago and some them out to the schools that didn't specifically ask for them to be sent directly from the university.

Ah, ok. I was just kind of confused because on the Rutgers Graduate School page it says they take unofficial but then on the Visual Arts MFA info page it says official. I've got a ton of sealed official transcripts that I have send priority to them so they won't be late (thank goodness!). This is what happens when you add schools last minute!

Oh but I thought the Columbia thing was in slideroom? Oh, I have a question for you since you also applied to Rutgers--did you send official transcripts by mail or just upload them? I uploaded them but I'm wondering if I should send them by mail as well.
