  1. Painting Dept., Found out via email yesterday afternoon. God I am so happy- Tyler is my first choice.
  2. FINALLY- Accepted, Tyler School of Art!!!!!! YEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH
  3. Thanks for the optimistic wishes, Sculptor. I'm a little more disillusioned perhaps as this is my second time through this process- I applied last year and was waitlisted at 2 schools, ended up not getting into either of them. But yes, there is hope. I'll be interviewing at Hunter on Saturday, we'll see how that goes.
  4. Meanwhile, still no word from Rutgers. I know a few people on this forum have heard back, does no news mean I have been wait-listed? Anyone else still waiting to hear back from them?
  5. Just got word via email- waitlisted at UIC. (SIGH) No acceptances as of yet, I am starting to think about what to do next year if I don't get in anywhere. Not encouraging.
  6. I know, "no decision" for me too. I'm beginning to think I must be waitlisted, since I haven't heard either way. UGH Also still waiting to hear from UIC, tyler (finalist there)... Hunter interview is on saturday, I'm starting to get nervous about that one...
  7. Hey gumbo, when did you find out from Tyler? I am a finalist there but I haven't heard anything back yet...
  8. My interview with Hunter is the 10th, not the 17th...
  9. I have an interview at Hunter College on 3/17, so excited, anyone else interviewing there? (painting)
  10. He said, as a general policy he wouldn't advocate anyone to go straight from one mfa program to another because it's "too much baggage"... He suggested taking time off- however, I took 5 years off between undergrad and mfa, and I feel it's time.. Just hoping that my time at this program won't affect me negatively.
  11. Studiohound, unfortunately ISU was the only program that accepted me last year, besides the MICA low-residency program. It looks like I will be re-applying. I am ready to explain my motives though, so I don't think that will be a problem (I hope). losemygrip- I'm close with one prof in particular at the school and expected him to write a rec for me, but when I asked him about it he claimed it wasn't so much conflict of interest as much as thinking it would be best if I didn't go right from ISU to another program. I just don't understand how being in another MFA program could actually hurt my chances to get in. If anything I would think it'd be an advantage- being immersed in my work for a year in advance of the school experience. For now I have contacted my recommenders from last year, as well as a former colleage/supervisor. I think I was just peeved about not getting my current profs, who'd be great recommenders, to write for me.
  12. Here's my tumblr... mostly cell phone pics of dubious quality haha http://noahfurman.tumblr.com let me know what you think.
  13. Hi all, I am a first year MFA Student at Illinois State University in the Painting program. Unfortunately, since arriving at ISU I have come to see that the program is lacking in several ways and that sticking around for three years is not going to be OK with me. I'm in the process of re-applying but my profs are not able to write me recs because of conflict of interest ... Anyone have any suggestions as to how to present this/ explain my leaving to potential programs? Also, any ideas of potential programs to look at? I'm looking for programs that offer partial if not full fnding and stipends, as well as being located in or around large metropolitan areas. Any input would be welcome. THANX
  14. The interview was pretty casual and felt like more of a conversation. I was the only one thete since I made an appt with one of the mentors who is based here in chicago. She said I should be hearing back in 2 weeks or so.
