    I'm Pratt Painting and I haven't heard anything either. I emailed the grad department head on the 10th and he said a few weeks. Not sure how long that'll be tho..

    Any Pratt Painting people out there who have heard anything? Frankly I've given up and started a new portfolio for next year, but I keep hoping...

    I think you're right. If your offer to look over my work still stands, I could use an objective eye.

    Yale, SAIC, RISD, UCLA, and Pratt. Personally I feel the size of my paintings were the biggest drawback and that I do exclusively watercolor. I'll take you up on the review offer, but in a few months. I'm scrapping my entire portfolio and going larger and more for myself rather than for a university.

    Just wondering... Is it normal to get no bites the first year of applying? I'm still waiting on Pratt, but I was flat out rejections nearly 100%.

    I reached out to the graduate professor over Painting/Drawing program (my emphasis) today. They haven't started on the Painting applications yet but will be diving into them and getting back to folks in the next few weeks. Congrats on the interview! I hope you get in!

    Is the wait for Pratt killing anyone else? Their program is incredible!

    Your last line hits in painful soft flesh. We should always create what speaks to us and learn to not regret that. In my opinion if I am creating to fit a graduate program the only person who fails is me.

    I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you. In all honesty, I created too much for a portfolio and too little from what I really wanted to paint. This year I'm going to hit it hard and paint what I want to. I know grad school is going to be difficult as this is my first time being in school hearing impaired and so far even auditing local college classes have been rough. I think you are right. I really do need another year to prepare.

    20 years out of school. My entire portfolio was work from the past two years. Sorry, not my first masters so "thesis" is nothing new to me.

    Silly question (because frankly it is now too late), but I am curious: In portfolio reviews what was the general consensus? I got rave reviews on my portfolio from SAIC and RISD, but got rejections from both schools. Makes me think that either they were lying to spare my feelings or I have got to be the unluckiest person applying for an MFA. For the record, I asked a butt-ton of questions about what they are looking for and anything they felt I could improve or experiment with and none of them felt I needed to change anything. They loved my thesis and my body of work and recommended I not change anything...especially RISD. So now I'm up a creek feeling like the worst painter on the planet. RISD said the fact that I am a deaf artist painting the feel of sound was "exceptionally powerful" so now I'm calling bullshit on all of it.

    Thanks, WhiteWhales!

    Has anyone heard from Pratt or UCLA?
  15. AlyPet
    Nope. Guess I'm out for RISD too. This is depressing.
