Hello Just wondering if any SVA applicants got an email from the grad admissions office about a document they forgot to include? I've yet to receive my rejection/acceptance letter from them (my current mailing address is in Italy, so I suppose it'll take a while to get here), but I got a fairly cryptic email saying that they recently sent me a package and that they forgot to include a document with instructions on logging into the student portal. Soooo I'm thinking why would I need this if I was rejected... right?? But I'm not quite sure if they just sent this email to all applicants, or.. perhaps I'll need this info even if I was rejected? Thoughts? This is totally killing me. I think I'd prefer to be rejected outright than maybe-but-maybe-not-accepted :/

Hello, first post here but I lurk a lot So I'm currently in the process of asking for LoRs & I have a bit of a conundrum. I'd love some optinions/advice, I know this is probably a little unconventional, I asked my high school art teacher to write a letter (I'm applying to art/illustration related programs). He taught me for 4 years in high school and knew me quite well, I've also kept in touch since graduating, especially in the last year and a half. In addition to this, a few months ago, I went back to the school to run an art workshop over 2 weeks. He is the head of art at the school, & I was invited by him to run the workshop, but he didn't actually attend them. The teacher who did see me run the workshop (let's call her "C" for the sake of clarity) was also an old teacher of mine. I asked him because I felt like he would be able to comment on my development since high school, as well as my performance during the workshop - I specifically mentioned these two things as the main points I'd like him to write about in the letter. I did consider asking "C" for a letter, but I'm not sure she knows me well enough, though she did work closely with me during the 2-week workshop. So I got a reply for my art teacher, I'm not sure how much to read into it. It basically said that perhaps it would be better to ask "C" as she saw me run the workshop, but he would be happy to write a joint letter with her. My question is... would a joint letter be okay? I do feel like they both could contribute different things to the letter, but I don't know if it would look odd? Then there's the question of whether he's actually saying "no" and offering just as a courtesy. Hmmmm am I overanalysing? Thanks in advance for any advice! heh I feel like this grad application process is driving me slightly insane O_o
