caserole

I've gotten all rejections so far too, safety school included. And it's my third try. Wicked depressing but also kind of motivating. Did you ever see the King of the Hill episode where Peggy is "discovered" as an outsider artist? It's kind of amazing.

UT-Knoxville rejection letter arrived today

Hey Mick, When/how did you hear from Knoxville?

Hey, me too!

Hey, just a heads up that UT-Austin has finally made some decisions. I guess they don't send out notifications for rejections but it's updated on the website...

This is awful! I haven't gotten a single interview request yet but I did get two rejections already. This is my third time applying to grad school. At what point do you just let it go and move on with your life?

Hey all, I wonder if anyone out there can tell me anything about the sculpture M.F.A. program at UT-Knoxville? They seem to be flying under the radar, but I thought the faculty work on the website looked interesting and I know they offer full funding and a stipend to those who get in. Why isn't anyone on the boards applying there?

Hey, Cool prints! I don't know much about printmaking but I've heard MassArt (I went for undergrad) has a really amazing printshop. I'm researching sculpture programs now and I'm looking at UT-Knoxville because they offer amazing funding. I saw them listed on someone's top print programs list... C

Just heard that VCU is still reviewing applications for Sculpture As of two weeks ago, Cornell hadn't even started the process. Has anyone heard anything at all from USC? I'm going crazy!!! At least Yale had the courtesy to reject me swiftly.

I've been in touch with the admissions office at Cornell because they lost some of my materials and they told me they haven't reviewed portfolios yet (at least not for sculpture). So it might be a while.

He was in sculpture

rejected by Yale sculpture (2nd time). on to the next one...

Brandeis University has a pretty good painting oriented (there is sculpture too) post-bacc program. I don't think grad school is the place to learn technical skill, you are generally expected to know how to make what you want by then. Brandeis has a decent metal/wood shop with a full time studio tech who supports the classes and can teach basic skills like welding. Their students have pretty good success getting into grad schools. A lot of them seem to go to BU, a school you might be interested in because they have a strong figurative emphasis.

My info is second hand but I would warn you about the program there too. I have a friend who got his MFA there because he was lured by scholarship money. He had such an awful experience there that it shattered his faith in art academia and he doesn't even want to teach anymore. The faculty were incredibly unsupportive, even combative. My friend is a hard worker and very talented imho so I don't see why they treated him so poorly.

I applied for sculpture to: VCU Yale USC Roski Cornell I also applied for a Fulbright to go to Germany but already got rejected
