I just got an interview for SVA in Fine Arts in Painting!! I applied to: RISD, Yale, Hunter, SVA, Columbia, Pratt, NYU, and MICA A bit worried about RISD because I accidentally wrote "New York" in my statement instead of RISD so I feel like they automatically kicked me out

Thank you so much for your insight! I thought about your thoughts a lot and decided to include the photo. We'll see what happens thanks! Fingers crossed

Hi everyone! I'm appling for a MFA in Painting. I have a thesis/clear interest in my painting work. I also want to do interdisciplinary work and also do photography. I have shot some self-portraits with my paintings (that are in the portfolio). They're like landscape-y movie-still style photos, not just me with the painting. I have two, one with my face in it, one without, both I'm nude (nothing obscene, more like a statue). I'm debating whether its helpful and interesting to include them? I have a theme and thesis around my work, and these photographs are just the tip of the iceberg in my wanting to do interdisciplinary work. However I'm worried that introducing a self portrait is jarring/distracting/inappropriate. I'm also a bit worried that they don't follow the rules, though Yale says to trust your guts. The photographs aren't direct correlation with my painting subject, but they also are since they have the paintings in them. What do you think?
