  1. Hello, everyone. This will be my second year applying to MFA programs. I'm currently in the process of updating my portfolio and was trying to figure out what percentage of it should contain new work vs. work I applied with last year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
  2. Hi everyone! This will be my second year applying to MFA Photo programs. I'll once again be shooting for UCLA and CSULB, but definitely adding more schools this year. I'm really aiming to stay in the Los Angeles area, so USC and UCI will most likely be on the list. The one thing I'm stressing about is adding new work. I have a few months to get maybe...six new prints done. I really need to get on that asap.
  3. Pretty much no difference. People with B.A.s get into top tier MFA programs all the time. It really all depends on your work.
  4. Wow, lol. So just got an email from CSULB saying they did not receive one of my transcripts, so they withdrew my application. Funny thing is, I was contacted by them last month and they told me they were missing 2 out of 4 transcripts. I sent them and now this email said there was another missing transcript (which they didn't bother telling me about when they contacted me last month). Meh. I was pretty much expecting not getting in this time around. I will be applying again this fall, with a strengthened portfolio and the information I gained this year. I also hope to apply to more programs, as this time I was greatly limited by lack of money for applications. I hope to see everyone who didn't get in this year back on the board in about 6 months and congrats to everyone who did get in.
  5. I believe Duke's MFA program is still accepting applications. It's only in its first year and not as well known yet, so I assume they are trying to get more applicants in before they make their decisions.
  6. California is probably the most beautiful and diverse state in the country when it comes to nature. Places like Yosemite, Sequoia, Death Valley, the California coastline, etc. Plus, all within half a day's drive or less from any of the major metropolitan areas. Although you might not be able to be right in the thick of it, you can't get ocean/forest/mountain/desert/city regions all in such close proximity anywhere else.
  7. Sweet. UCLA rejection via email. I pretty much knew it was coming, since people who got in knew a couple weeks ago.
  8. I haven't received a single thing from UCLA yet. Just waiting for the official rejection email.
  9. Looking back at previous years, it seems that people who were accepted by UCLA knew by this time and were notified by phone/email. Rejection letters were sent out in March. That's not to say that some might still be notified or waitlisted, but I've pretty much accepted that it's not happening for me this time around.
