I hope SFAI and CalArts can give me some notification of financial aid! Then I could get the difficult decisions I've been dreading over with and start planning my life. Also it could poss free up some places for other people. Also I have no idea if I'm in or out of SVA still...

Hi, Its a very highly regarded university in the UK, best art school outside of London I believe, and it has a great reputation for producing quality artists, just look at the Turner prize nominees. Also Glasgow is a great city to live in, the arts school is a great building. I lived in Glasgow for 2 years (studying medicinal chemistry - long story) and I would definitely live there again, I only went to the art school for the club nights though, the did some amazing nights. I have some friends from GSA who did their undergrad there so PM me and I'll see if I can put you in touch if you have questions. Have you applied? Its really competitive to get in to I've heard. I have no idea of their reputation abroad though!

Well I guess its not really based solely on my preference of school now, unfortunately, as much as I want to go to a particular school, I'll be going to the one who can provide the most $ since both of these places are super expensive and I've already got one decent offer which is doable from ASU. Bah, I forgot to buy lottery tickets again.

Accepted to sfai and CalArts (!)

for photo?

on a sunday??

yep, I realise that. Its still very competitive though, and if I want to teach at all I still have to study for another post graduate qualification in the UK.

creamypencil, whats you website? I can't remember if I've seen it or not, thanks though! I haven't heard anything at all! I have a fairly good offer from ASU (PM me if you want!) I actually have no option of asking my parents :-( I'm sure if they had the money to spare they wouldn't hesitate though. Has anyone bought more lottery tickets recently? I'm going tpo buy a bunch of scratch cards and lottery tickets tomorrow and then I'm going to join a bingo club

I'm perfectly happy with going back to the UK after studying, I will be doing my MFA in the US and incurring almost no debt, whilst being able to be a full time student and not able to work (outside of the university) for 2 years and concentrate entirely on my studies/practice. The quality of the education in the US is fantastic, I can't wait top go, even if I don't get my choice of schools and find myself restricted by funding. I guess my goal is not to live in North America though, I'm happy enough in the UK and I'm sure there will be jobs and opportunities there waiting when I go back! (there better be...) You should seriously consider applying to other scholarships, have you got a backup plan if you don't get financial aid?
-
If you do defer you can apply for a Fulbright scholarship if your country has this!
-
*sigh* who knows what goes on with these things, all I can do it wait and stay cool.
-
I am starting to regret not applying to RIT!
-
Well it's 6pm now in England! I guess that means the working week is over and im not much further forward than last week. I'll just have to wait until Monday... Have a good weekend everyone!
-
Creamy pencil did they notify you of any funding?
-
yep I'm in a similar place with calarts and sva :-(
-
wow! when and how did you find out? I'm still waiting, doesn't look good...
-
Arrr I still have my everything crossed to get in, if you don't mind me asking did you get any kind of tuition scholarship notice too? Congrats btw I intervoewed last week, I'm from the uk and could be taking you up on that offer!
-
hehe I like this

I think everyone is starting to feel a little down about apps and things around now, its hard to keep an even head when your future is in someone else's hands. We should all try to think about what we do have, how lucky are we all to be able to consider an MFA and a future of doing what we all love to do. We are so fortunate to have the talent and the drive we need and the opportunities. I still can't believe how amazing it is that I can choose to study and continue to do whatever I want to do with my work and someone will even help me pay for it!? That said, I'm also fairly on edge my moods swing wildly between excitement and feeling like screaming (not out of anger must be something animal) and I'm also checking my emails a billion times a day.
-
people are really starting to freak out! I just took a 3hr nap in the middle of the day purely to pass the time faster, the time difference is killing me haha
-
if the grad studios are 45mins away do they have darkrooms there? I cant imagine having darkrooms so far from studio spaces for photo
-
turns out you can't actually sell your eggs in the UK so I will be completing a series of medical trials
-
does anyone know what the letter about tuition from ASU stated?
-
well it was due June 1st but we have had to cancel everything! I hope we can marry at glacier point in Yosemite national park, which was where I wanted to marry all along!
-
unfortunately for me it looks like my fiance won't be coming with me, his parents aren't very supportive of my career choices and don't want him to leave his home town, ultimately they have control as we'd need their cooperation for financial support for him (we're from the UK), they just need to write a letter and refuse to! I feel very frustrated about it!
