    Hey all. I was excited to go to Pratt but I didn't get any scholarship, and they gave me a financial aid package of 100k for the first year. There's no way I want to be 100k in debt :( is there any way I can ask for a scholarship or anything else to get actual financial help? 

    I looked through scholarships but a lot of scholarships seem to be like 1k, not like 20k. 

    Also has anyone heard back from NYU?

    is the rejection in your portal? I did not receive a rejection and I see nothing when logging in

    not sure if you were asking me, but I got an email that there was a status change and logged in and clicked on the application, then saw the decision.

    Hey guys,

     

    Does anyone know if I should expect conversion if I am on MICA's graduate painting waitlist? 

     

    Should I hold on to hope or just forget it :(

     

     

    There definitely is hope! I just turned down my offer from them so hopefully you get that spot :)

    I'm panicking because I just finished my interview with Pratt Painting and I overprepared by having a transparent sticky which made me more nervous and I feel like it didn't go well. I kept stumbling over my words and I don't even think I answered one of their questions sighh.

    I am assuming they have rolling admissions — the website says “January 5th is the priority deadline to be considered for both admission and scholarship, however applications will continue to be accepted on an ongoing basis until programs have filled. Applicants are encouraged to apply early in order to ensure timely consideration.” 

    Ahhh I completely missed this :( hope they still have enough room for me!! Thank you

    For those who have been accepted to Pratt Painting, I'm a bit confused as I have my interview this Friday. Do they just accept people on a rolling basis? I thought they'd interview everyone before accepting them?

    So that means you will have to do your interview right? or you already did it?

    Sorry first time going through all this process and I'm a bit confused.

    I already did my interview last week :) it was hard, she asked me so many questions but luckily I prepped for them. I don't *think* there will be another interview or at least I hope not!

    Hey blueangel,

    Thank you for sharing.

    Might I ask you that the notification you received for being a finalist for MICA Painting which means you are accepted into the school?

     

    Hi lebleu! The email said that I am selected as an interview finalist, and they expect final decisions mid-march. So I am not accepted yet. 

    I don't think I can fly in to view the campus, so I really hope that doesn't affect my chances

    Still haven't heard from: 
    Columbia
    Hunter

    Heard from: 
    Pratt: asked for school transcripts only but nothing else
    RISD: asked to complete financial aid form but nothing else
    Yale: rejected
    SVA: did an interview
    MICA: I just got notified that I'm a finalist for MICA Painting! They said official decisions will be announced mid-March. They then invited us to campus tour, another virtual panel for questions, and counselor appointments. 

    All for MFA painting

    Congrats on finishing your interview! 
    I have a SAIC interview tomorrow. I know an interview will be different from school to school, but can I ask you some questions? How many interviewers were there? And, Do you mean the research on the program or professor or what? 

    I hope you get admission to MICA. Good Luck!

    Thank you so much!! There was only 1 interviewer (there's 2 faculty members for the painting program at MICA), and I def recommend research on both the program and professor. It's nice to show that you researched the person interviewing you. They also might ask which professors you want to work with (in my case theres only 2 so they didn't ask that). She also asked why this school and what stands about about their program.

    Just finished my MICA interview! Questions were extremely fast paced, I stumbled over a few of them because I was nervous. Luckily I prepped for any question possible but tbh could have prepped more. It seemed to have go well and I'm so glad I did my research!! 

    I also completely forgot to change my zoom name before but the interviewer was late anyways so thankfully she didn't see that mistake.

    Hi blueangel,congratulations! Mind if I ask you what discipline you applied? I applied to Pratt and RISD in painting programs. Did you mean final acceptances(after interviewing) from Pratt MFA? Also, I haven't heard from those schools, and from my guess (maybe I got a rejection from them), having an official transcript would be great news for you!

    Hi, I applied in Painting in everything! I got no interview from both RISD and Pratt. 

    Pratt confirmed they've received my application. They are waiting for my college transcripts and cannot proceed with evaluation until they have my materials. They didn't ask for an official one though. RISD said my application is under consideration, and in order to be considered for funding I will need to complete this financial aid form. 

    I think I either imagined it or I can't find it (acceptance date). According to the RISD portal: 

    We release decisions for graduate applicants in March. We will email you when your application has an update.

    No official update from Pratt, but they did ask me to submit my transcript so they are in the process of reviewing applications. They said they'd send acceptances in March. 

    Same with RISD, I didn't get an interview but I got an email asking to fill out my financial aid form. It's probably just so they can look through applications I'm guessing? 

    I have my MICA interview on Friday ahhH!!!!
