@lilyxia99+ @Hjuoollpphhfcvn , 100% yes to everything @cabbagepatch said. I also went to undergrad at VCU. There are many, many undergrad and grad students from other art programs -- so plenty of possible peers to befriend and lend their ears and eyes to create a dialogue with. Richmond was for me an amazing place. Still is. The surrounding neighborhoods around campus definitely feels like a mini-ungentrified Wburg/Bushwick. And much less expensive. I actually got my first design job in NYC because my boss's sister went there. The name does carry weight. Many alumni live in NYC and we do help each other out finding jobs. Lastly, as an alternative to campus facilities there is Studio Two Three in Scotts Addition outside of campus, though access may be cost prohibitive to some. Good luck! https://www.studiotwothree.org/community-print-shop-equipment

Hey @kaflake, I agree with westcoasty. Ask them what they liked about your work to consider you in their dept. I took a look at your work (very nice btw) and I would think they took a liking to your bookmaking. Although your book projects do not contain typography, they do visually communicate a story. and that changes the discussion of what is a book from a graphic design perspective. Good luck to you.

Yes you need to initiate a paper trail. It shows you know how to 1) be professional in your practice and 2) have great communication skills. The below video created by a former RISD prof says you should treat grad school interviews like job interviews. A simple 'thank you' goes a long way. youtube.com/watch?v=KEwgwfw6JAs

Very cool. Best of luck on Tuesday. Thinking 2x the number they admit but could be wrong(!)

Re: Parsons D&T - Not yet Congrats on the interview invites, esp. with Yale. They didn't offer one to me. But maybe the post below from years back may help. I have an interview for RISD's 2 YR GD track soon. Anyone have any pointers?
