I had mine last week-- I did not find it to be confrontational at all and I'm a painter, which the rumor mill opines they 'hate'. They asked me to pick a piece in the portfolio to talk about, I picked one from a year ago, and when they said 'are you sure you don't want to talk about a newer piece' I explained why I wanted to use that one as a fulcrum for the newer pieces. I was worried that this wasn't what they wanted but I'm glad that I stood my ground. Then we talked about why I wanted to go there blah blah blah. We spent the last three minutes talking about 28 Years Later and then it was over lol. So to me-- totally fine and normal.

accepted into Goldsmiths MFA today unsure if i can go bc international funding being the way it is but it's always nice to get a yes

I got an interview request for Goldsmiths MFA Fine Arts last Friday!

anyone get an interview from bard? I'm assuming it's a no, I haven't heard anything.

anyone hear back from bard?

damn. congrats!!

what specialty ?

there really isn't any i think that's intentional lmao they have to keep their esoteric appearances.

hiii-- i got an interview with Stadelschule two years ago and it wasn't until the summer. I thought it was a rejection since I never heard from them, then got an email to complete a very obscure task, and then after this task was completed then I got an interview, around end of June/ early July. Hope this helps!

I was able to stay for the first semester because as a US citizen you don't need a Visa to enter to country-- you just need the 'proof of livelihood' aka 11000 euro or 12,000usd to get a residency permit within Germany, which you need to stay and study. Once the money ran out I had to leave, so I didn't finish even a year. Good luck!

i saw that someone last week got a columbia painting interview, has anyone else? I'm really really hoping there might be more interviews released but... it's not looking good, as badly as I want it 😕

i talked to someone in Bard's MFA admissions and they said interviews (at least for painting) will be out before the 20th.

i was a full time student, and I really liked the freedom and the studio space, but unfortunately i could not afford it. I couldn't get the money required to get a residence permit in Germany, and the Stadelschule doesn't offer any of its own scholarships. I applied for DAAD but you have to apply before you actually get accepted to be eligible for funding. I would definitely make sure your funding was well in place before you considered going!

Hi! I went to the Stadelschule for a semester, I'm actually coming back to the US right now.

phone call or email?
