Hey guys, I'm working on a painting portfolio. Most schools require around 15-20 paintings for an MFA in painting, I'm concerned I won't meet that number. I paint constantly, and am working on a series, but am nonetheless a slow worker. Is it possible to take detail photos to make up for lacking quantity, or is that a huge no-no? Thanks in advance, Tracy

Wow, thanks guys ) This is tons of great information!

Hello everyone! I am applying for an MFA in Painting in the Fall of 2012. I graduated with a BA in 2009, and applied to three grad schools right out of college with no luck. I decided to take some time off and re-group, so here I am. I have thirteen schools I will apply to. I can magane the logistics that come with that, but need advice when it comes to recommendation letters from professors, etc. Is it normal to ask a professor for thirteen recommendation letters to different schools? Is there a way I can make it easier for them, for example, sending them a package of pre-stamped envelopes and such? What did you all do? Thanks for your time and advice in advance -Tracy
