Haha i KNOW,so brutal. it's killing my desire to write the articles I have to write for work...

This is my second year applying, and I can't see myself "moving on" yet, even if i don't get in anywhere this year...

Too late! I already snuggle with my smartphone.

Haha you are so creative wlkwih2!

ALSO it's finally february everyone. Hopefully that means we will hear more soon! (Yale notified people as early as the 4th of feb last year)

congratulations jspring86!

Get clothes you don't wear out of your closet and donate them Start a blog about your interests Get out more! (galleries, shows, parcs, zoos whatever!) and my personal favorite: make Valentine's Day cards!

Agreed! You should feel lucky you aren't freaking out! This is my second time applying, and last year I was a lot calmer. Things change. But since it is out of our control, there really is no point in obsessing, so good for you! (I wish I wasn't)

I know! Finally february. Good luck everyone!

They might, if they received your application, and they are missing your portfolio. I would email them ASAP, including your portfolio as an attachment. The person who is in charge of admissions for painting is really nice. If you aren't applying to painting then i don't know!

totally!! yes, i am definitely worrying too much. but at least i'm not alone!

so great! just sent it to some people

I've checked that kind of info for all my schools! you'd think I didn't have a full time job and night time classes from all the time I spend on this forum!

Oh thats TERRIBLE! hope it works out! they have to be a little understanding if they can't even help you figure out which ones were missing! hopefully they are just getting in last minute. hi! welcome. haha i've never checked my email this much either. depending on the schools, you could start hearing sooner than that! what schools did you apply to? You don't have to tell, of course, i'm just curious.

haha i know. well, actually i do sleep usually (i'm in a different time zone though). however i'm pretty consumed with the whole waiting process and this website is my only outlet as i don't know anyone else applying around me!

This happened to me last year, actually. So yes, it does happen even for grad programs! And it is so sad.

Oh man yeah, I spent way too much time checking out the 2011 forum, and with february fast approaching, my anxiety levels are already pretty high!

last year someone compiled and shared a list of possible interview questions, which I copied and edited a little, basically most of these are or are similar to questions I was asked in both of the interviews i went through. I've never heard of schools financing your journey to interview with them, but some schools do accept skype interviews when you can't afford to go. Others, such as Slade, simply review the work without you during the second phase. How does your work fit in with the contemporary art world/scene? Why do you want to go to XXXXX? Why do you want to go to grad school? Why now? What resources of this program will be the biggest benefit to your development as an artist? What is your work about? What are your influences? What for you constitutes a good work of art? What draws you to a piece of work? What motivates your work? Who are your main influences? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? How does your work fit in with the contemporary art world/scene? What do you think is a good critique of your work/bad critique? Why/how did you choose the people who wrote letters for you? How will you contribute to this program? What do you do for fun? What artists who are no longer living influence you? What book are you reading right now? What do you think about it? What are you working on right now? Please explain this work (xxxx03.jpg) What is your favorite piece of art? Why? (Title, artist,year) Can you describe yourself, such as personal habit, etc. Do you get along well with others ? What would you bring to a group dynamic ? What do you think is a good way of criting ? a bad way? What other aspects of culture influence your work besidesart/art history? How do you see yourself taking advantage of this school’s enviroment/program? What exhibition have you been to in the last year? What have you done since you’ve graduated? What contemporary artists are you into, and why? Tell us about the conceptual underpinnings of your work? Talk about your process. What do you think about *this essay*? (related to your work) How is your work related to *this movement*? Do you have any question for us? Hope this helps!

Hi and welcome! I'm in the same boat and I think the only the only thing to do is play it by ear if that does happen. The school that notifies you early might have a long interview process, and the late deadline might be quicker to get back to applicants. I know this type of situation has happened, and i know of one student who was able to ask for a few weeks extension, but I don't know how frequent that is. It really just depends on the schools! Good luck, sculptor! Let us know how it all works out
