I received an informal notification about it a week or so prior to the official decision from a faculty member, but the full offer was included after my acceptance letter in the applicant portal. They held a financial aid Zoom earlier this week and from what I could gather, it seems they're still working through institutional financial aid packages.

Alrighty... my results for this season.. Yale Photo: Rejected Bard Photo: Waitlisted RISD Photo: Waitlisted MassArt Photo: Informal Acceptance SAIC Photo: Acceptance w/ 60k merit scholarship Wondering if anyone has experience with being on either RISD or Bard's waitlists? I would assume the potential of being offered considerable financial aid after being pulled from the waitlist is slim... I have until March 15th before SAIC's scholarship offer is rescinded, so I will most likely be committing to their program (which was my second preference behind RISD before interviews and first preference after interviews, so it works out!). Is it worth it to reach out to both RISD and Bard to express my continued interest? With how small their cohort sizes tend to be, I'm not sure what to expect having been waitlisted. Also, does anyone know when MassArt normally sends out official offer letters/financial aid packages? I received a call from the program chair about a week after my interview notifying me that I had been accepted, haven't heard anything since.. and with the SAIC turnaround, I'm concerned I won't hear back before the 15th... Any advice would be helpful!!!
