Hi!
I'm applying this year too!! Very stressful! The hardest part is finding out where you want to apply...i'm more focused on found object sculpture, so i'm looking into schools that encourage the crossing of mediums.
here's my list:
Carnegie Mellon
Columbia College oF Chicago
Penn State
UNiversity of Maryland
University of Michigan
University of Tennessee
I'm looking for three year programs that offer funding and studio space. i also want to avoid an art institute because my work is about social issues and society and I would prefer to be at a research university to utilize more resources.
If anyone has any suggestions on other schools please let me know...I was hoping to apply to at least ten because I'm uber-paranoid.
