I had to do the same, and I was straight up to them. I told them how I was offered more money to go somewhere else and as much as I am interested in going there, I gotta also be reasonable with my finances, so I hope they understood where I was coming from. Even though I am still working out the details I was able to negotiate with them without feeling ackward about it. Hope this helps

I heard from both programs I applied to at mica a while ago (graphic design and social design) I was told today that we are having an open house on April 10th to which most of the class has been invited. I would call admissions and ask them whats the situation

I am in New Haven already. Trying to get ready for the interview and contemplating a beer to calm down... I am way too excited/nervous. On the flip side, US Airways lost my suitcase with all my interviewing clothes....oh well, at least I brought all my pieces with me on the plane.

Yeah just got home to a bog envelope from SVA. Got accepted to the Design as Author program!

I went to SAIC for undergrad and hate to say that the school is kind of sloppy when it comes to administration

So has anybody applied to Graphic Design Programs in Europe? Netherlands, Finland, UK? if so, where?

Sure I will, how about you? where are you applying?

I see... Yeah now it really is between MICA and VCU. Not sure which way to go. I have yet to hear back from YALE after my interview next week but funding for YALE just seems unreachable.... How about you?

Has anybody else heard from VCU for Visual Communications? I got accepted but they don't have any funding, or at least that's what I have been told

Couldn't agree more with you, it's great to get accepted but schools are way too expensive! I suppose we better see this as an investment... A very expensive investment...

Same here, got an acceptance letter on Saturday. No funding and I was told by admissions that if I didn't get any merit scholarship info there, then I didn't get any. Need-based money is available through the Financial Aid Office as far as I know... Congrats on your acceptance!

thanks! yeah, it is my first choice so now it is all up to the funding I can get... (still on the works)

No, actually it was a very personal email that talked about my work and why they wanted me in the program. Ellen Lupton and Mike Weikert emailed me for the different programs. I also got a call from Admissions yesterday, and an admissions packet last night.

I did, got an acceptance letter to the GD and Social Design programs

I got a call yesterday, the admissions packet at night and a couple fo emails last week, but they said they were still contacting people

Got official acceptance letters from MICA's GD and Social Design program in the mail last night , I suppose for everybody else who is expecting news from MICA, they should be on its way if they didn't make it already

yeah I got the same email, but I got an acceptance letter a few weeks ago (for a different program), I think you should just get in contact with them and see if they can tell you something

was it about the new scholarship thing Margot and Thomas Pritzker Family Foundation ?

great! thanks so much. Can't wait, this wait is no fun...

I know CCA already let us know about acceptances last week via webadvisor, but has anybody heard about financial aid, or gotten official letters yet?

I got an email from Ellen Lupton, she said we will be getting notices in the mail soon tho, i was also told that they will be contacting people Friday and Monday, so it is possible that they will contact you on Monday. I went to Baltimore for my interview too, I loved their program, what day where you there?

Just got accepted to MICA's Graphic Design MFA! so excited! I am told they will be sending official acceptance letters next week

I haven't gotten that response, but I hear the Post Bac program at SAIC is good and you get a good training for applying to the full MFA program. SAIC gets about 150 applicants varying on the year, and usually have a 25 people class, some of them being the post bac students form the previous year and about 15-20 newly admitted grad students.
