    Waiting on a waitlist decision from SFSU, and the University of Montana. If I don't get accepted I think I may end up just applying for the next cycle! I don't feel super disappointed, this was my first time applying and as an art history major I didn't have a ton of advice from professors or other artists. So I feel like I've actually learned a lot from applying this time around in what I want from a program and where I want to go.

    Just got my snail mail rejection from VCU painting/printmaking today! I live in the west so it was delayed compared to some others I saw on the east coast. Not surprised as I haven't heard anything from them this whole time, kind of nice to just definitively rule them out tbh. Also talked to one of my professors today about my offer from MICA and have officially decided to turn down their offer based on her advice, just can't justify spending that much on grad school.

    I'm in a similar position and wondering the same thing. I've only been accepted to MICA (Multidisciplinary) which is really expensive. It just doesn't seem feasible to leave school with so much debt. I've talked to my art history professors, my partner, and friends who've gone to grad school who all agree that it's a huge risk to pay such a big price for grad school, especially when there are cheaper options available. Basically I'm just hoping on of the two schools where I'm waitlisted, SFSU and University of Montana (both painting), will accept me because they're much cheaper. I'm trying to rationalize that it wouldn't be a big deal to just reapply next cycle but that is a disappointing prospect ?

    I sent an email to MICA inquiring about receiving additional funds, and this is the format I followed! I changed it a bit of course but I think it's a really good template and was super helpful. https://www.profellow.com/tips/how-to-negotiate-your-funding-offer-for-graduate-school-an-email-template/

    Just got my admissions offer from MICA (Mount Royal)!! Exciting, but even after the 17k a year they've offered me, it'll be ~33k per year to attend. Definitely not doable or worth it in my opinion so I will see if I can get more funding from them but have no idea how to go about that! ?

    Just got an email from SFSU, waitlisted for Painting after interviewing this past Wednesday. They said they'd let me know if my waitlist status changes by April 5th.

    Nice!! That's exciting, what a great program!

    Oh wow, congrats!! Did they email you? Also, did you already interview with them?

    Oh interesting! Hmm that's definitely trickier and it's hard when you don't know how they'll respond to you reaching out, but in the case that your contact person is on leave, I really think that makes it fine to reach out to them ?‍♂️

    Nothing yet! Even with all the VCU interviews I've seen on this forum I don't know if any of them have been with the painting/printmaking department.

    With all of the programs I applied to there was a contact email provided on the program's webpage, and if not, I got an email after I applied that was like "Hi, we've received your application please reach out to ___ with any questions" and provided a contact email there!

    I reached out to a few programs and received mixed responses, I reached out to UCI and they didn't respond and rejected me lol but I reached to the university of Montana and they told me that I was number one on their waitlist! If you reach out through the right channels it seems like it's not a bad option at all!

    Just got my rejection notice from UC Irvine. Huge disappointment as that was my top choice :/ Also feeling hurt that they didn't even email me or respond when I reached out with a question a few weeks ago! hahaha I'm glad at least to know one way or the other.

    Congratulations!! What program at VCU did you apply for?
