Does anyone have a gauge as to if Columbia sends out rejections notices while they also send out interview invitations?

I feel you on this big time. It goes without saying that rejection is hard to deal with. This past year I have been getting back-to-back rejections on jobs, residencies, grants and open calls. It's been difficult. I like to think of it as a mourning process. I give myself the time and space to feel sad and angry by the rejection (i.e. eat comfort food, be around my friends or family, watch anime, or sometimes just self-isolate for a bit). I don't like to shy away from feeling hurt from the rejection because it helps me get over it and move on to my next goal or game plan. That is why I make sure I don't check my email unless I'm in a space safe enough to feel these hurt feelings, in the case it is a rejection. I don't want to be caught crying in the middle of work hahaha.

godspeed my friend! congrats on the interview

Hello Good luck to everyone on this forum. I decided to create an account here so I can have people to relate to in dealing with the utter anxiety I am going through in waiting for all of my responses. I applied to six different schools in either sculpture or interdisciplinary. It's my first year applying. I have only heard back from one school so far, the MICA Mount Royal School. I got an interview I am still awaiting responses from VCU, Kent State, Yale, Columbia, and CCA. wishing you all the best!
