cool, thanks. What program did you apply to?

http://www.pw.org/content/2011_poets_amp_writers_magazine_ranking_of_mfa_programs This is worth reading... Talks about the MFA from a writers perspective, but it's basically the same game.

Anyone hear from Brooklyn College's MFA?

I talked with SAIC today, and apparently there has been no decision on my application. I know people have been rejected already and asked to interview. They said I should know by next week. Anyone have this happen before?

Hey, I think this is basically another undergraduate degree.

any painters hear from SAIC

Apply to the Contemporary Artists Center at Woodside, in Troy, NY. VSC is awesome has a really strong community, competitive but not horrible. Most people you meet at residencies have done an MFA. I don't have one, and I've managed to get into a handful, but I am usually one of the few without.

I talked with people at SAIC to straighten out a few things. They said the earliest people should hear is late next week, and the latest is end of March. Totally depends on the department.

I had a bunch of friends get interviewed last year. One got in, and their practice is very grounded in critical theory. I heard they throw some ridiculous questions at you. Like what is the pinnacle historical painting. I find the schools reputation to be a bit inflated at this point. I can't tell you how many Yale MFA art handlers I work with. Good luck, and I hope it's the right fit. Just my 2 cents.

I'm over this waiting game.

Anyone hear from SAIC?

Chill out. Nothing you can do til mid Feb. Then, that's just the 1st cut. Might as well try and forget about it.
