Just did UT Austin painting interview, I recieved the request on 1/26! Unfortunately, I think I flubbed it TT. I was told I wasn't specific enough about my influences, but that was at the end when there was no time left. It was a 25 min interview, I was asked a few typical, open-ended questions. This is the only school I've heard back from so far.
I also applied to:
Stanford, which I guess is a bust!
Northwestern, also a bust?
UConn, which is definitely a bust!
Rutgers
Yale
UCI
Columbia
I'm being overdramatic, but I'm preemptively mourning the fact that maybe I'm not gonna get into anythingg. Good luck to us all
