TheSweetestPainter

Ah took me a while to dig through past posts- really picked up speed! Thanks for the info!

You only live once!!!! Hakuna Mutata!

Ditto to what HopeDreamPaint said + Fool4nine. Don't want to say anything to give me away but as a Cali native, seeing the work and as someone who has visited the program tons it has a so-so rep. Lots of luck with decisions everyone!!

UCI painters were notified? I spoke with a current student and they said no decisions had been made yet.... Blah, I am trying not to lose the faith after 4 rejections and only 1 interview so far. Not sure why my expectations are/were so high. Anyone else feeling the same? Blah. I'm already starting to think about preparing for next round. haha. Give me my funding damnit! Anyone have any news for U. Oregon ?

Very well said HopeDreamPaint!!!

*side eye* .I have a good guess as to who this is and please for the sake of UCSB....stop talking.Kidding!!!! I think the poster was simply trying to reiterate what her mentors said and how it reflected in her decision NOT to apply. Why get defensive?...and then rant. She/he answered your initial question.... I also agree to the original dismal argument and one line of your rant post. Lets play nice!! All posts/topics have been helpful in some way to me.

What exactly made the majority of those applying dismal? Care to expand? Curious. And frankly I didn't come visit the program (would have loved to) because I couldn't afford to.....!

@Kazoo. My Interview is in the 2nd wk of Feb. for U.Chicago. Pretty thrilled! @Josholas I too would love to hear any insider bits about U. Oregon

Hi All! I've been following this thread for a while and have found it so helpful. Thought I would finally chime in. Received an in-person interview invite from the University of Chicago early last week....Hope this helps for anyone waiting to hear from them. A great start to this whole process. Cheers!
