  1. THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY REJECTED: Columbia (NGenres), MICA Mt Royal, USC, Parson's, INTERVIEWED, WAITLISTED, haven't heard anything: VCU (paint & print - I print) ACCEPTED: Cranbrook, just found out today ***Was waitlisted. I had pretty much given up on Grad school this round, and was already making other plans......now what? Cranbrook is so $. ANYONE ELSE GET INTO CRANBROOK WANT TO SHARE ANY INFO WITH ME?? I am pretty much winging this whole operation.
  2. www.ashleighrauen.blogspot.com "To do a dull thing with style, now that's what I call Art." -B dog
  3. I know someone who just finished Parson's and liked it. He is an incredibly talented (+ motivated & productive) artist but not the academic college boy type, and he really seemed to like it, which was encouraging to me, I applied.
  4. I like this topic because Location was an important factor for me too. The only 'landlocked' school I applied to is Cranbrook. The others are more or less NY or LA. PS I'm totally winging it. Now that my apps are in I better apply for some residencies.
  5. I went back and forth about it, but I didn't apply to any 'safety' schools. Honestly, my priorities are 1. looks good on CV 2. location So that's how I chose my schools, I am planning on going to whichever offers the best aid. That is, if I get into any! And yes, this is my first ride at the Rodeo. prayin for 8! ashleighrauen.blogspot.com Applied: VCU Cranbrook Columbia USC MICA Parson's (this is my 'safety' school knock on wood!)
  6. From that list I'm applying to Cranbrook, VCU, and Columbia (but for new genres). I have a friend in her first year at U of Iowa print (she got the best aid from there) and another one who finished there last year and is on a Fulbright now. They both seem to have an ok impression of it but certainly not true love. I didn't apply because Cranbrook is the only landlocked school I applied to.
  7. I did my undergrad at UW and would not recommend the school of art unless you are interested in design. I graduated '08, and they were in the process of strongly phasing out hands-on programs (good bye Printmaking, Fibers, Metals.....Ceramics gets to stay of course, as does Sculpture) in favor of Design programs and scattered interdisciplinary programs (for undergrads). Beware; the Dean of the School of Art is Design Faculty, and it definitely shows.
  8. Anyone out there applying for Printmaking or New Media/Interdisciplinary MFA programs? I'm trying to narrow down and possibly add to my list of schools. I'm really interested in hearing from anyone with similar interests and where you're applying. Top choices? Any recommendations for programs that encourage cross-disciplinary work/new genres? As a west coast native I am mostly applying to East coast schools, ready for a change of scenery. I'd LOVE to hear any opinions on NYC schools for Print or Interdiscp programs, I'm having a really hard time narrowing down my NYC applications. Seems like people on this board have been a little more in favor of Parson's than Pratt or SVA. Hard to get a feel for Columbia, I haven't heard anything great about Printmaking there, but since I am more interested in an interdisciplinary MFA than a strictly Print one, I am intrigued. Anyone want to weigh in here? I'm not going all-out applying, if I don't get in this year I'll wait a year, but therefore I really want to make sure I choose the right schools to apply to. I'm really interested in your 2 cents!
