I interviewed, and then received the letter on Saturday. And then this email about an hour ago. I have literally told everyone I know that I was accepted, including my job. I have never heard of this happening at any program, ever. Un. believable.

Me too!! I thought they would be calling to notify, so when I didn't get a call I assumed the worst. Got the letter today... I nearly fainted.. JUST ECSTATIC!

I know that they finished up interviews yesterday, so at this point I think you can assume the dreaded "r" word. :/

email from RISD Painting for interview. People, last year I applied to 8 schools and got flat rejected - no interview from all of them. I applied to 8 schools again this year. Seven "no's" until today. I had totally given up. LIFE: SHE'S A CRAZY BITCH, THAT ONE!!!! ::big stupid grin/happy dancing::

Dear Columbia, Please let me know what the deal is. kthxbai.

Have people heard from VCU painting?

Still just the "deadline" date. My Tyler Slideroom page says "2/25/11", but I did not receive any emails about being shortlisted or whatever, nor a rejection letter yet. Basically, I think all of these programs are joined together in an attempt to kill me.

where do you see that? Mine just says "Deadline 2/22/11" weird...

" "...Now, I happen to know from your post thegradcafe.com that you have apparently already decided between UPenn and NYU as you choice of PhD program; however, I would recommend that you give the University of Toronto another look." " CREEP-TASTIC.

No letter for me either... judging by last year's experience of "no news is NOT good news" I'm gonna give up the ghost on this one. Chicago's too damn cold anyway.

well there's always FML for that.. (F__k My Life). Handy!

Not that this helps a question about grad school, but I went to MICA for undergrad and I can't say enough good things about it. I would sometimes wander through the grad studios and was always super impressed. I think what makes MICA unique is the two "schools" - Mount Royal and Hoffberger, which at least when I was there, speak to the two "sides" of traditional painting and more conceptual, multi-disciplinary work. I am still paying it off, however, 10 years later. Throw more on the pile, I guess.

FTW = For the Win

samesies: Yale Tyler RISD VCU SAIC Cranbrook Columbia... Tyler Sculpture seems like they've sent out interview requests from what I've seen on this board.. hopefully Painting's not far behind.

I think you're good as long as you got the notification from Slideroom. It's possible that the general Columbia and the art school Slideroom portion just aren't on the same page. Side note: $10 upload fee? on top of a $100 app fee? can you say, "racket"?
