I heard from CalArts today, rejected by mail. Also VCU emailed me today: passed preliminary, will do a phone interview within the next three days.

I called admissions today. I had gotten an interview letter for fiber but no word on painting and was wondering if they'd all gone out. She said they'd had some inter-departmental problems and there was a handful of painting interview letters that hadn't been sent yet. She said they'd try to send them soon but would send an email before the letters would arrive just to let everyone know if they got an interview. I asked about coming in to interview on a different date since I'd be in Chicago then and they said the dates are pretty firm and that people who interviewed in person had a big advantage, jfyi.

My schools so far: U of Penn - Phone interviewed today Yale - In-person interview for Painting Mar 22 (email status update) SAIC - In-person (or phone) interview for Fiber Mar 5 or 6 (letter) SAIC - Admissions today implied I had an interview for Painting but they had a handful of letters stacked up that hadn't gone out. She said they'd try to email everyone soon. RISD - No word yet VCU - No word yet CalArts - No word yet Columbia - No word yet Hunter - No word yet Indiana Univ. Bloomington - No word yet Has anyone applied to Art Center College of Design? Their rolling admissions is odd.

Congratulations! How did your interview with Penn go? What sort of questions did they ask--did they throw anything unexpected at you?

You probably have it figured out by now, but the admissions lady at Penn called me for an interview time and when I couldn't do the interview at their time she let me do it a different day without seeming annoyed at all. Mine's tomorrow at 2:40.

Yeah, I have NO money either. It could easily be over $1000 flying/shipping. Have you heard if they would accept large photographs of art? Right now I'm thinking of driving a flatbed cross country.

Could anyone share their experience interviewing at Yale? I was invited to interview at Yale in painting Mar 22-25 and I haven't the faintest idea where to begin preparing. Do any of you have experience interviewing there, shipping your art, or communicating with the school about preparations for this? (My art is on foam or board typically about 8' long and at most 8' tall, lots of attached fragile objects.) Any advice is very welcome!
