Anyone committed to RISD Graphic Design?

Is there anyone else who has committed to RISD graphic design MFA? I’d love to connect with you!

For those of you who have heard back from programs that have offered to provide a financial package, have those packages been very helpful? I got a couple offers for half tuition but that’s still so expensive with all the costs involved and was wondering if you are all feeling the same. I got a very generous package from one school but other than that I feel like the financial help (although I’m grateful for any help at all) really didn’t cut costs that much in the grand scheme of things it seems. Just trying to get a scope of how things are going for you!

Yes! It came down to those two schools. I was leaning toward RISD because I felt like I would enjoy the program structure a bit more, but ultimately I was offered a great scholarship at RISD that made my decision really easy between the two.

I officially accepted my offer at RISD today! So excited to attend in the fall. Has anyone else made decisions on where they are going?

I got mine this evening! Have you received yours yet?

Has anyone decided what school they are going to attend? If so, what has led you toward choosing that program? I’m deciding between two schools and I’m having a hard time knowing which to choose.

yay! congrats!! :')

I got into Yale!

Heads up! Yale released decisions on the portal for GD. I didn't get an email yet about it but decided to just check anyways and an update was just posted!

I haven't received an email yet to check the portal for GD. I hope it comes soon! Did you get accepted?

I’m 28. I don’t think mid 20s is too old to start a new chapter, I actually think that’s probably on the younger side for an MFA degree! Most friends/colleagues of mine attended in their late 20s/early 30s.

oh that's awesome! I'm sorry you've had to wait so long to hear back though, that's brutal! 🥲 I applied to graphic design and heard back about a week after my interview which was so nice to not have to wait very long

what discipline did you apply/interview for?

same! I just want to know the verdict 🥲
