Hi everyone, I'm applying for a painting MFA fall 2011. This is my first time applying; I graduated with my BFA in May 2010. I'm looking at Otis, CalArts, UCLA, USC, and Art Center (I pretty much want to stay in LA)
Here's a question: I read in a forum somewhere that you shouldn't say in your interview that you are interested in getting an MFA so you can teach. Does anyone agree with that? Isn't that a big part of the reason a lot of people go back for MFAs? And should you also refrain from mentioning in your written material that you are interested in teaching?
This is assuming of course I get an interview These things are all so scary competitive! I'd much appreciate any thoughts & advice, thanks!
