[MFA 2022 Freak Out Forum]

Final update! I’ve heard back from all my grad schools as of today ? 

Accepted:

- NYU ITP (no financial info yet)

- RISD D+M (assistantship + 65% RISD fellowship )

- RCA IED (London schools are out of pocket for an international student like me ??) 

- UAL CSM Narrative Environments (“ ”)

- KAIST CT (full tuition + lab stipend)

Rejected:

- MIT Media Lab (Tangible Media Group, they were looking for technical applicants so I expected this, but I thought why not try at least)

After thinking through a few of my options, I’m leaning towards going to the Royal College of Art and moving to London for at least a year. There is one more opportunity I’m nervously waiting on, which is the Fulbright. I’m applying to conduct independent research about media in Korea which would be incredibly hard to pass up on if I do make it as a finalist (shot in the dark)! But yes, that’s it for the grad decisions. I had a ton to think about and learn. Please feel free to reach out to chat if you ever want ☺️

just checked my email and I was accepted to NYU ITP! really thrilled right now

also, does anyone know about scholarships and TA positions at ITP? didn't receive any notice in my admission letter, does it mean that I was not considered for a scholarship?

Congratulations!!! I also just got into NYU ITP~~ 

and no scholarships or TAships were mentioned yet. I’m hoping that will come later!

Anyone attending the second interview with Stanford tomorrow? I don't live in California so will be flying in tonight. First time visiting California... kind of excited lol, and a bit nervous..!

Oh!! I saw an interview group come through the sculpture studio this afternoon, were you a part of this? It was so nice to see some of the prospective MFAs on their studio tour~

Did everyone who applied to RISD receive an update in their application portal? I received an admit letter, but I will likely decline.

Yeah I also got my admit letter + an assistantship position, but will definitely be reaching out to current students to ask about their experiences because the financial support is... not what I expected

Hi, Congrats on the offers!  I was wondering if you have gotten a video view from ITP?? I tracked mine but it's still the same, I am starting to worry, esp based on gradcafe submission in the past, they usually started giving offers early March so i find it weird that my unlisted video views still the same, I am probably overthinking but i cannot help it lol

Thank you!! That's a good question, I hadn't thought about it but I just checked my analytics and no ? it only has 1 view and that one is from myself. I think that probably means they look at the videos last after reviewing applications to make final decisions in March

Hello! Congratulations on your offers!! Can I ask when you heard back from RISD D+M? I haven’t heard anything from my interview…I’m hoping they’re still sending things out.

Hi thank you! No worries! They got back to me earlier than when they are officially sending decisions and said that the official notice is due to be released in early March, they're definitely sending things out still

Applied to Tangible Media and Poetic Justice, no email or updates in the portal, but I didn't get an email so I'm not expecting anything! would love to know though

Hi everyone!! I wanted to introduce myself :) I applied to art/design programs that combine art and technology/experience. I'm applied out of my undergrad program (currently at Stanford, happy to answer questions about the art programs!) studying design and engineering.

Schools I've applied to: RISD Digital + Media, Royal College of Art IED, NYU ITP, Central Saint Martins, MIT Media Lab, UCL Bartlett

So far, I've gotten offers from RISD and RCA (which I'm so excited about) and still waiting to hear back from the other programs. Do y'all know anyone else who has been accepted to these programs/schools? I'd love to get to know everyone better
