Just got my rejection email from UCLA. The waiting game is over, thank god! I have decided on The University of South Florida As I said in a previous post (page 14) if re-applying next year please consiter USF www.arts.usf.edu Tyler-accepted UW Seattle-accepted OU athens-accepted USF-accepted SAIC-rejected UCLA-rejected OSU-nothing are there any clay people on this board?

To everyone that will be reapplying next year. Please consiter The University of South Florida in Tampa. GOOD THINGS It's a truly interdiciplinary program. The program is similar to UCLA in that way. An amazing young faculty. They are all egar, and showing in the US and abroad. most are under 40 FUNDING FUNDING FUNDING! NO JOB NO LOANS ! Lots of opportunity to teach, if thats your thing. If you decide to teach, full health insurance You wouldnt have to teach if you didnt want to The weather is nice. I'm from milwaukee I hate the snow, I hate the cold. There is a conteporary art museum on campus that is not run by the university Grafic Studio-refer to website Some of the faculty are taking over the galleries in town The ocean Tampa is cheep. I lived in San Francisco for three years. not cheep Its under the radar.We should all know that its all about the power of the work, not the "power of the the name". (sorry WU-TANG) Ample studio, and instalation space. Art Basel- Miami is only 4 hours away BAD THINGS Its Tampa. UW Seattle-accepted-early march-turned down offer Tyler-accepted-02/01-turned down offer OU Athens-accepted-late Feb.-turned down offer USF-accepted-late Feb.-waiting for rejection from UCLA SAIC-wait list-mid Feb.-no thanks. to expensive OSU-nothing UCLA-nothing. I know someone there. They have contacted their top pics. If you havent heard yet you might be on the list.

to mmmh Tyler trys to notify early, and then pressure people to make decisions. Its s strategy to get their top pics. It pissed me off a little bit, and they gave me a bs reason why they needed to know so early. They wanted a commitment from me by feb. 20th. I was able to squeeze a few more weeks out of them. I'm pretty sure each dept. makes their own choices though. I went to visit, the new building is awsome! I liked Philly a lot as well. The funding on the other hand was not full. still generous though. If you get in and have the money go for it. good luck I did not have to interview

Has any one heard back from UCLA other than painting? specificaly ceramics. Tyler- accepted 02-01-via phone call- turned down offer UW Seattle- accepted 03-05- phone call SAIC- wait list- letter- now in trash OU-accepted- phone call mid feb. sometime USF-accepted- phone call feb 20th OSU- nothing UCLA- nothing
