haven't posted in a while because i had nothing to report. accepted to Mount Royal at MICA with money. found out Friday, March 25th by phone. so hang in there, people!

yup, i got that two days ago.

via email yesterday. best of luck to you, hullo!

agreed. i've got a show coming up in a week and this knot in my stomach is keeping me from doing the work i need to do.

that was me, but i've heard nothing yet. i'll keep you posted if i hear anything.

Wise choice though, I think you're better off. I'd definitely go if I had the money, but I simply don't. I really think it'll only help your chances.

Afraid I'm not. I couldn't possibly afford the airfare for an interview. But I see you've applied to several schools over there. Are you there now? If not, are you flying there?

Haven't heard from SAIC either, but I'm in Canada, plus the service where I am sucks. Sometimes it takes over a week for a letter sent from within the province to arrive. So not sure what to think.

i think only mount royal invites have gone out, for those who applied to additional/different programs at MICA.

sort of sounds like everyone that applied to MICA got that, i think.

well i'm sincerely surprised that my work would make you doubt your own, because i think your work is quite fantastic. i couldn't do what you do. it's a natural thing i guess, to compare i mean, but it's easy to doubt your own skills when the thing you love doing comes so effortlessly to you. but you have serious skills, have no doubt. we'll have to keep each other, and everyone else of course, posted on painting at SAIC.

also, i've just been offered a phone interview for next week at MICA (Mount Royal), via email.

cool! i've applied to Guelph too, as well as Toronto and Concordia. didn't know if anyone else on here was applying to Canadian schools. I know people working at Guelph and word is they were supposed to make/announce first cuts starting next monday, but it's been delayed by at least a week. so don't hold your breath just yet!

well, thank you. i've applied to MICA (Mount Royal & Hoffberger) and SAIC, and a few here in Canada as well (no one here will know of them i'm sure). btw caraa i think your work is really great.

i've never posted here before, but i've found people's comments and updates very helpful. i've only heard from Slade: last week (Feb 3) by email - i'm on the shortlist, and only those who can attend an interview in person will do so; no phone or skype interviews (i'm in Canada so i won't be going); otherwise they will review portfolios of those who can't attend again during interview week. good luck to everyone!
