That is very helpful. I am possibly going to do a second bachelor's, a BFA, at San Francisco Art Institute. Do you know anything about their MFA in New Genres?

just got my rejection letter from UGA via snail mail.

I got a BA from a liberal arts school in 2006 and majored in art studio and psychology. I've been working doing something completely unrelated to art since then. I don't think you need a BFA, I think the situation is subjective, just like art is. I agree everyone has their own story so you can't compare backgrounds too much, specially in art. If you have a killer portfolio I think that would make the bigger impact. A wise prof of mine once said, think of grad school as a step in the journey you will take to become the imagist you want to become. Grad school, like undergrad, is just part of what we go through in our personal histories, what we make of it is what matters. I'm trying very hard not to freak out about these art school applications. I played a little tennis today (I'm a beginner) and that helped get my mind off the situation while I can't do anything about it ::Breathe::

I just got my rejection email from NYU earlier this week and am anxiously awaiting news from Columbia. So far I have 3 rejections and I'm already planning what I can do better for next year's applications. Aside from maybe applying to easier schools, having more recent art work would top my list. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yale - rejected Royal Academy (London) - rejected NYU (Steinhardt) - rejected Columbia - ?
