  1. Interview at SMFA on March 5th–just got the e.mail.
  2. Talked to Tyler about this too–they said that they can still review your work, even with items like letters of rec. or transcripts missing. They just need them in the end for an official acceptance. I also had a professor directly e.mail a letter–after it didn't show up in the mail–and it was promptly processed. Also, you can check your Temple application to see what materials are in and your status. Go here and then follow the link for the 'banner application' and plug in your ID and PIN. Good luck!
  3. Totally. That's kind of why I think Yale is absolutely ridiculous–how can you expect people to travel from all over and ship their work? You should shell out hundreds or thousands for what, a thirty to forty five minute interview? While I really think you should go in-person whenever possible, I think large distances and costs are a completely acceptable reason for a phone/Skype interview. Lots of luck!
  4. My vote goes to in-person whenever possible. Skype is awesome technology, but time lapses might make it awkward and not really give the interviewers a good/accurate sense of your personality. Then again, I can't fathom paying hundreds of dollars on travel, so I guess location factors in too. Still...aim for in-person–it makes a more lasting impression.
  5. For Tyler, you can check your Temple application to see what materials are in and your status. Go here and then follow the link for the 'banner application' and plug in your ID and PIN. I think most programs require interviews, but it sounds like only GAID and Sculpture applicants have been notified so far. Good luck!
  6. That's really good to know. I had to call some offices about my letters of rec and I can't say that everyone sounded so nice!
  7. Just make sure you fill out a FAFSA. It'll provide an EFC ('Expected Family Contribution', a misnomer if you're financing your education yourself) and that's what schools will look at, theoretically providing aid to cover what you can't (though 'aid' includes loans). There are also independent scholarships you can look into, like the Jack Kent Cooke Graduate Arts award, but it seems a lot of deadlines are near or passed (as in this case). Also be aware of FAFSA guidelines–if you're under the age of 24, it doesn't matter if you live independently or not, they take your parents income into consideration which can end up hurting you (if they make a lot). Most schools provide grants and scholarships and some have assistantships and fellowships that include full or partial tuition remission plus stipend (such as Rutgers and Tyler). Good luck–figuring out money will be the next headache is this very long and exhausting process!
