Forms Without Formula

They offered me 15k/semester, almost 50%, I should have emailed them and tried to haggle for more but I got so excited I accepted right away, I also wasn’t sure if they really offered any more than this based on what people had said in past forums, now into trying to figure out any potential outside scholarships/loans

Yesterday I got my acceptance to Pratt with a generous scholarship, I was really hoping for Tulane originally but then yesterday I was almost feeling like I’d be disappointed if I got into Tulane because I feel like I would have no choice but take the free ride but was starting to get really excited for Pratt. Couple hours later I got my official rejection from Tulane! My decision has pretty much been made, Pratt it is!!!! I got into SVA too but so far it’s looking like all I got for scholarship is $5,000 a year possible work study? Ever since my interview with Pratt I’ve been the most excited about their program so I think what was supposed to happen did!!!!!!!

No word at all from Tulane, I’m considering emailing them but also can just assume I’m not in and I’m not ready to hear them say it yet so I might just keep waiting and waiting

Got my official rejection for U of O tonight. This is where I’m at: SVA: accepted Pratt: interviewed Mass Art: interview on Tuesday SAIC: rejected University of Oregon: rejected Tulane: *hopeful but realistically skeptical crickets*

Got my first acceptance today!!! To SVA Fine Arts, also got an interview request for Mass Art 3D today! Good luck all of y’all!

How was the Tulane interview? I haven’t heard anything from them but it was possibly my first choice so trying to keep hope alive!

Congrats on being a finalist for MICA!! In my Pratt interview for sculpture he said they were still really early in the interview process so good wishes to you!!

Just had my Pratt interview! It went well, it was me and 2 members of the faculty, felt conversational and laid back. They brought up my portfolio and had me talk about some of the work, they asked why grad school now, they asked about my future goals, and how I wanted the audience to experience the work. I get so nervous and scrambled but just gotta breathe and pretend I am a calm person! And then of course they asked if I had questions for them which always trips me up, I feel like in the past I would ask super specific random questions but this time I asked them what makes Pratt stand out in their eyes and that seemed like a better question that they were able to elaborate on more. If anyone has good suggestions for what kind of questions to ask I will take them in case I have any more interviews!!

Yeah let’s hope!! Time to focus on my Pratt interview later today, anyone else already interview with them yet?

Still waiting on U of O too but I did apply for sculpture ? This is my 3rd time around applying to grad schools and it really feels like now or never, I can’t go through this again so just trying to let go and believe what is meant for me will come but accepting the unknown is so tough right now

My updates: interviewed with SVA a couple weeks ago, rejected from SAIC a couple days ago, and requested to interview with Pratt a couple minutes ago! Still waiting on word from University of Oregon, MassArt, and Tulane, applied to all for Sculpture/Fine Arts. Good luck out there all, can’t wait to just have my answers and take a break from refreshing my email constantly!!

Interviewed with SVA a week or so ago, but still waiting to hear from University of Oregon, SAIC, MassArt, Pratt, and Tulane…. I saw some of y’all got interviews from Oregon, SAIC, and MassArt, anyone heard from Pratt? Tulane deadline was on the 1st so I figure they’ll be a little slower coming out… Figuring I didn’t get into U of O, SAIC, and MassArt since I haven’t heard but trying to stay hopeful, getting real sick of constantly checking my email, but grateful for this forum and all of your updates and support!!

I’m eagerly awaiting word from Oregon too, my concentration is Fiber/Sculpture, hope to hear from them soon, I was pretty excited about that program

All the people getting SAIC interviews, did you apply by the December 1st priority deadline? I didn’t get mine in until a few days before the final January 10th deadline Also not feeling too confident about SAIC, I applied for Sculpture but then realized too late that my work would fit much more with their Fiber concentration

I just interviewed with SVA Fine Arts yesterday and it was pretty laid back and conversational! Also applied to Pratt but no word from them yet. Good luck!! ?
