Both Penn State and SFAI didn't include their admission stats in the catalogue. Sorry

No problemo. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON = 6%

I second that emotion. I need to find something better to do than sit on my computer all day. I want to paint, but I can't concentrate.

For those who applied to Painting at IUB - first notifications of acceptance will be going out by the end of the week. Didn't specify whether it would be postal or e-mail.

UNIVERSITY OF IL. CHICAGO = 27% COLUMBIA CHICAGO = 40% CORNELL= 6% SUNY PURCHASE = 10% BROOKLYN COLLEGE = 32% PENN DESIGN = 11% WVU = 72% UNIVERSITY OF MD = 9% CLAREMONT = unavailable RIT = unavailable MILLS = 13% PRATT = 35% CCA = unavailable USC = 40% MASSART = 24% SMFA = unavailable

I'll buy everyone a draaaank if I get into IU.

RUTGERS = 28% HUNTER = 18% MICA = unavailable SAIC = 23%

Noooooooooo.....I haven't been accepted to IU, but I haven't been rejected yet either. I REEEEAAALLLY hope I get accepted there, though.

This is titled the "FREAK OUT FORUM" - isn't it? We're freakin' out maaaaaan. Like, totally.

Here I am if I get accepted to the rest of the programs I'm waiting on..... The old man is me, Robin Williams is the school(s), the marbles are my acceptance letter(s).

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!

So, after being rejected from 2 schools, accepted to 1, and still waiting on 3 more to reply - I've figured a nice way to pass the time... I have this handy, dandy CAA (College Arts Association) catalogue, and figured I'd come up with a rough estimate of my actual chances of getting into each program. I had some ideas going into this process, of how the schools ranked, and I was realistic with my choices. But having some numbers puts it in a new perspective. The catalogue has stats from all MFA programs from 2007 - it's a few years old, but not that far off from current stats, I'm sure. By dividing the number of accepted students by the number of applicants, I've come up with the following: YALE = 5% (rejected) TYLER = 18% (rejected) PAFA = 61% (accepted) SYRACUSE U. = 36% (fingers crossed) INDIANA U. (BLOOMINGTON) = 17% (fingers crossed) SUNY ALBANY = 22% (fingers crossed) I know this doesn't take into account your chosen medium, genre, department, etc..and it's no scientific study, but - what the hell - it's fun/nerve wracking nonetheless. If you want me to look up your school - let me know.

Totally unrelated to the current conversation, but pertinent nonetheless - for me at least.

I'm thinking about sending an e-mail to a school to reiterate my interest in their program and to politely ask when notifications of acception/rejection might be made. Any help with wording?

Same here on both points. Here's how insane I am - I looked at the admission results section and averaged IU's response date (from the 4 measely stats listed for Painting acceptance/rejection) and got an estimated date of March 9th. I've officially lost my marbles.
