Chrono Trigger

I honestly will study something different if it does not work this year again. I cannot afford to keep waiting year after year only to be rejected again after spending this kind of money on applications and transcripts. I have already started looking at other programs that may interest me.

Sorry it really does not seem to be working now. I was going to tell you to google PDN Free Tuition. But the entire the link seems broken now even though it comes up in google. It basically list six schools that are fully funded but it had a professor or an admissions officer speaking about their program. Anyways the 6 were: 1. University of Arizona 2. Ohio State University 3. University of Notre Dame 4. Indiana University 5. University of Nevada, Las Vegas 6. :/ I forgot the sixth one (been sitting here awhile trying to remember but it won't come to me) Maybe later the link will work. Something seems to be wrong with PDN today.

I know you're a mixed media artists so some of this may not apply to you. But this is an article discussing 6 fully funded programs. As far as I know these are photography but I think some of them are studio art. http://www.pdnonline...965098c63e?pn=1

I sure can. First of all I do not believe in "bad" MFA programs/schools I only believe in finding the right ones for you. This all comes down to the kind of work you do, the work that the other students are producing in the program, and the teachers. So I have visited ASU, OSU, Indiana University, Univ. of Arizona, Cranbrook, Columbia, and SAIC (this year). In two of the visits I got to sit in on some of the critques too. (I got to see a critique at Indiana and at Cranbrook). I have got to say I am honestly no longer a fan of a majority of the private art schools. After seeing them in person, I felt trapped in a small narrow environment. I like to have diversity around me, meaning I prefer to be in schools that have more than just art majors. Of course as you can see I am still applying to a few private schools though.... I also find the assistantships to be less professional than the public schools. I feel that a program should have a strong teaching assitantship because some of us may go on to become teachers and we should at least get 2 or 3 years of experience before we go into the real world. Having said that I am just one person with an opinion. I don't want to discourage you if you are applying to a lot private art schools.

Hello all. I have applied to: ASU OSU University of Arizona Indiana University University of Georgia Cranbrook MassART CalArts University of Nevada, Reno San Jose State This is my second try. Last year I applied to fewer schools and only two of them on this years list are a repeat. I also was able to visit a lot of schools in person this year which strongly changed my impression of them! Some look good on paper but are not great in person and vice versa. Good luck everyone.
