Yeah, I have a background in traditional media and I have some of that on my site, but all the works I submitted were made in the past two years and were transmedia pieces-- the professors who are interviewing me were the same ones I mentioned specifically by name in my statement about wanting to work with, one is new media performance, and the other does a lot of bio-art stuff (my BSA is in Biology from UT Austin)
I also heard back from UCSB and have an interview scheduled with two of the professors on the MFA faculty next week! I applied with a transmedia/new media portfolio.
Other schools I've applied to not in order :
Northwestern (rejected, but expected since they don't have faculty that do a lot of new media stuff)
Carnegie Mellon
U Michigan
U Washington
UCSD
UCI
UCLA
Parsons
VCU
Besides UCSB and Northwestern, haven't heard anything back yet...
