What about University of Connecticut? I am an international students with engineering degree applying got MFA painting. Also hows the funding scene there?

yeah, I think you are right. I will soon upload my work. I haven't done that as yet. As soon I do, I will post the link here. Thanks. I read up on University of North Carolina at Greensboro, but they say: "Requirements for admission to the M.F.A. program: The student should have 39 hours or the equivalent of undergraduate credits in studio art and 15 hours of art history." Sadly, I don't fulfill these requirements.

@ Child of calamity, Thanks for the info. It was encouraging as I was a little apprehensive about my background. I can only hope that at least some colleges will look at it in positive light. @ starling, yes, that was the word i was looking for 'Cohesive body of work'. I think my work is progressing in the right direction. And while will keep my work cohesive I don't think i will work in series as its just not me. I will definitly be applying to SAIC,RISD, Columbia, Bloomington-HOPE, Texas-Austin, SCAD, Parsons I will keep adding to the list eventually. Does anyone know about the scholarships in SCAD. I cannot afford MFA without scholarship. Any suggestions on safety schools?

Hey, I too will be applying for MFA Painting Fall 2012. My problem is that my graduate degree is in Engineering. My work ex is also in engineering. I do not have anything solid to put on my resume about art except that I have exhibited my work in a couple of local art exhibitions here in India. I have been painting regularly but i have no degree/qualification in art to support it. Any suggestions as to what my approach should be while writing my resume would be great help. Also I am working on my portfolio now. My art is not in series. Would that be looked upon negatively by colleges. I am open to working on series but that is not my style. Also my work is diverse. At MFA level would they expect something more focused? I would really appreciate some help.. Thanks, kyapata
