Just got an interview request from UCSC!

Okay good to know! I applied for photography

Has anyone heard from Utah State?

Ah I'm sorry! I was also just rejected but no interview..

I’m in a similar position! I’m a Fulbright semi-finalist and have a MFA offer. Struggling with the same question lol

So far 2/3 of the places I interviewed, I networked with one faculty member. I think it can help a little because it humanizes your application/shows your interest, but I don't think it's the sole reason.

Just got into UH Manoa!! GAship, full tuition & stipend

I've been sending thank you emails after interviews! I think it could only help

I also applied for photography. In late January, they sent me an interview request. I interviewed with them on 2/1 and was waitlisted on 2/11. My guess is they already interviewed everyone, but you never know!

What discipline did you apply for?

Just got waitlisted from UT Austin’s Photography & Media program

Did anyone else apply to UCSC?

I've had two so far - the first, they only asked two questions, and then it was conversational. During the second, they asked me a bunch of questions and then asked me what questions I had for them. Some questions I remember being asked are... Why this school? What are you watching, or reading that is influencing your work? What is your work about & who is influencing your work? What recent exhibition have you been to? Tell us about it and the impact it had What exhibition have you recently been a part of? Is there anything else we should know about you?

I’ve had two interviews (University of Arizona and UT Austin) and I’m also wondering what I could’ve done better. I found it hard to read the groupings of individuals during the interview

I second being honest! That may be the reason they give the one full scholarship to you!

Hi everyone! It is my first time applying for an MFA. I wanted to continue expanding the conversation on photography if more photo people are out there! Here's my list so far - some of the deadlines haven't passed yet University of Arizona - Interview on 1/31 UT Austin - Interview on 2/1 UC Davis - nothing UCSD - nothing University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa - nothing Utah State - nothing UCSC - nothing

I have an interview scheduled with UT Austin for photography

Congrats on the interviews! When did Davis reach out to you? I'm still waiting to hear back!

Congrats on getting in to a fully funded program!! I don’t think he could? You could call the graduate admissions office to check?

Congratulations!!!

Has anyone heard back from UC Davis?

I was just offered an interview for the University of Arizona's Photo/Video/Imaging department!

I also have not heard back from UT Austin!
