    Hi hi. Does anyone know if it is possible to defer places at two schools, or do you usually have to choose?

    I quite like the work I've seen from the current UCLA students. They seem to push form + good intellectual inquiry. Although technically not interdisciplinary in set up, Yale Sculpture has a few good students that work their way from their last batch that graduated in the Spring. You would of course have the support of all of Yale's course offerings to bolster an interdisciplinary education. It is the most artistic ivy, along with Brown. MIT has a very different kind of interdisciplinary programme, but it is an MSc, not an MFA. Your final product is a written thesis, not a work or a show.

    Spoke to recent graduates of the programme (both international students and local) + one former faculty -- the Bard programme is in a tricky position rn and none of them recommend attending it at the moment. It's hard to say if it is in the same shape as it was prior to the pandemic.

    Fully funded and U Mich. Faculty at CMU is good but CMU as a school overall is a bit deficient in the humanities and social sciences, in as much as you can take courses at UPitt. If having that context available is important to you, don't overlook it.

    I personally would say stick with Hunter. So much of your education and opportunities would also come from being in the city; get a school in the city that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (whether by lower tuition or scholarships). Parsons may be worth it if you want to take other classes at the New School? But don't all the NY schools have some kind of consortium that allows you to cross list at various institutions? some NY natives / people who know help me out hereeeee

    Something similar, via PhD, at USC: https://dornsife.usc.edu/cwphd "At home in USC's Department of English, the USC Ph.D. IN CREATIVE WRITING & LITERATURE PROGRAM is one of the few dual Ph.D. programs in the country that weaves the disciplines of literature and creative work into a single educational experience. Students complete coursework in both creative writing and literature. The dissertation project is comprised of creative and critical manuscripts, both of which are essential for completion of the degree."

    Any UPenn alumni / entrants who might have friends who are currently studying at their MFA or recently graduated that I might speak with? I've spoken with students from all the other programs I've been admitted to, but not Penn, and I noticed its colouring my decision -- ie fading in prominence, despite seeming like a well structured, good option.

    Nope — but I was lucky enough to do a junior year abroad there, and know at least one person who graduated from the art programme. I heavily stalk the school and what its people are up to lol. it’s hard to beat its overall educational environment outside of the art school — like you’d want your work to have context. It’s not without its flaws Ofc, being a bastion of privilege, but I do see efforts to move in better directions.

    Congrats! I think you are gonna love Yale. The graphic design programme is insanely creative! Even if parts of it ultimately aren't your cup of tea it will still be an incredible education + resource base where you'll be challenged by your cohort. You'll also just be spoilt for choice in terms of other offerings around the university for a more holistic education.

    Me neither - applied for interdisciplinary studio / new genres but no contact. ? I do love art programmes in big research universities! But also wonder if UCLA overall prioritises in-state, less polished (not that i think I am necessarily...), although I know conjuring a class is also a mysterious and holistic process. What's niggling away at me is that when I went into my portal I noticed the time stamp indicated my app went in a day late, but it really wasn't -- i'm on the other side of the world and it was in time for pacific standard.

    Waitlisted at Brown Literary Arts, cross-disciplinary genre, which takes like, 2 people per year. They had a massive pool of applicants for all spots, around 1000. Admittedly know quite little about the programme -- I applied while mostly applying to visual art MFAs, as I have a strong writing component, and felt like I might want a more literary emphasis. Would love to chat with people who know a bit more. I have very competitive offers and actual acceptances from the visual art schools, but do wonder if it is a literary emphasis I want to go into ultimately.

    There are some of the UCs I didn’t apply to this round, which I wish I did. I’m not sure I want to wait another year!!! This has been brutal enough.
  33. worldcleft
    I have actually. And I found the faculty to be people I’d want to work with. Some of the students, I liked, others not so much. I’m mostly bothered by the school’s lack of a robust humanities or cultural studies department. It’s important for me that these things are there because they can really change what happens on a more holistic front.

    Sigh. I mean this is extra hard as I’m international. It’s really no joke to move halfway across the world drop out and re apply. I just don’t have time

    Has anyone ever got into a programme, started it, realised it wasn't a good fit, and then switched out? Are you allowed to apply to other college while a full-time student? What's the sort of protocol there? I'm a bit nervous about how programmes are amid covid upheavals, even if covid seems to be abating (you never know...). What happens if you received funding to attend?
