HA. Round three for me as well, April 1st was when I got the rejection letter last year.

I am not 100% on this, but just in program applied for in Slideroom, mine just says New Genres. Instead of New Genres MFA? BC apparently that was the program I applied for. I just have to laugh at myself at this point.

Well, my Columbia app now says I applied to New Genres? WHY! I applied to painting! It just switched me? Or, I might be an idiot. Well, no MFA after my name so there we have it. I actually would rather it be my fault... Moving right along! Best of luck to all who have Columbia interviews!

Congrats!!!

Hahaha. Very clever! Only a month to go and this part of the process will all be over. Then the conversation will move from acceptances to funding.

yes, yes, UCLA has no interviews. You are correct!

Nothing from UCLA on my end, I think we have a few weeks still on that one?

YES! Northwestern interview for March 1st. Just got an email. There is an open house thing the next day so I guess Ill be meeting some of you who are also interviewing!

No problem. Also, you are thinking SAIC performance, right? I looked at your portfolio, you should work with Nick Cave for sure!

I am obviously comfortable being the jerk who harasses the poor administrative staff at every place I applied... I dont know if this has been posted, but SURPRISE! UCLA is sending out Mid-March. I forgot to ask if by mail or email, I would put my money on mail mail. So basically that is non-information and why I forgot to post it with the USC info and I apologize if that is redundant. I'm going to start buying booze for a drinking game called "mid-march". The game is: you drink when its "mid-march".

I was told that the interviews are *usually* the 1st week of March. Since they are mostly skype/phone I would assume that there will not be advanced notice bc they dont expect you to fly down? there are several active people on this thing who have applied to SC, when they know you will know. haha. Did anyone go to the Open House? I think I have asked this already but I know they get really blunt. I couldn't make it out and I would love to know. I see you are applying to Irvine! Kevin Appel is absolutely amazing. If i was a painter's painter I would have applied just for him!

All interested in USC: there will be a phone/skype interview in early March for the final and near finalists. All other decisions will be snail mailed by mid March.

Just FYI mine came as a letter from painting, not sculpture, so there might be departmental discrepancies. I also got my letter as early as I did bc I live in the city, obviously. since its snail mail and a crazy storm... I would say just call them on Monday and ask when you should expect to hear if invited to interview since you are out of state??

SAIC interview! Spoke to UCLA today and we should know mid-March, this may be redundant to some.

WOW, how generous! Thank you everyone! Now I am regretting not applying to some of these programs.
