I had my RISD interview yesterday and I thought it was NOT good. I also has a phone interview with MICA (Hoffberger) some weeks ago that I thought was AWFUL but I ended up getting into both schools. My main point is that we are super critical of ourselves and the interviews are never as bad as we think. On my phone call from RISD today, I told the lady that I didn't think I was going to make it because my interview was bad. To my surprise, she said it was great. They were very critical of my work and I had to defend it and assumed they couldn't stand what I was doing. I think they just wanted to see how critically people thought about what they were doing and how well they could defend it. So, don't sweat your interviews. There are VERY FEW people who step out of an interview room thinking "I nailed that!" Best of luck nfa

Yes, I interviewed at RISD yesterday and they got back to me today. I knew it was going to be a quick turnaround because: 1) I spoke to a first year MFA student who said they got back to her a few days after her interview and that the deliberations took place right after the interviews. 2) My interview was in the afternoon but I was in the building till about 7pm (talking to students, taking a tour etc) and on my way out, I saw the faculty deliberating in the painting office on the ground floor. Carrie Moyer told me on the phone today that they had chosen their 10 candidates. A few people may end up not going to RISD, so people on the wait-list could get bumped up. Best of luck.

Got into RISD and MICA (Hoffberger)- got the calls today (around noon) and last night respectively. Yipee!

Is anyone having the same problem with Tyler as I am: They want us to return the letter accepting/rejecting their offer of admission by MARCH 20!!! By March 20, I'll still have two interviews to go and five schools to hear from. I called and I was told (as i had suspected they would) that the safest thing to do was send in the check to reserve my spot and if I did change my mind in April, that was OK, HOWEVER, the money is not refundable. To be safe, I'll send in the $210 check just in case the other schools don't work out but it just seems unfair to me that they are making the reply deadline so early. I got my Indiana acceptance before theirs and I do not have to give them an answer till August 20 (I'm pretty sure that all schools will have replied to all applicants by then). I don't know, it just seems like a sneaky way to make money.

I applied to the Hoffberger school of painting and I got the call from Timothy App on the 13th of Feb (give or take a day). Tim's call came a few days before the MICA application deadline and his call was the first response i got from any of the schools i applied to. It was a surprise call though and caught me off guard (I was taking a nap when the call came and was a bit disoriented). I called the school a week after to ask what their application procedure was (I applied to Hoffberger 3yrs ago and was wait listed but I recalled going down there for an interview). Hoffberger did not do formal interviews this year but there were a few people Timothy called for interviews as he and the admissions committee were trying to make decisions. Soneone asked what painting program I got into at Tyler and I do not know the answer to this question. Is Tyler like MICA (Hoffberger and Mount Royal) in that it has has multiple painting programs? i guess I'll call the school today and ask about that.

I found this forum while searching the internet for possible interview questions. I applied to Yale, Columbia, RISD, MICA, SAIC, Indiana, Tyler and UCLA. Earlier in the year, Tyler sent an online account log in document to me and if you have access to that, your application status is there. I have also received my acceptance letter but since I live in Philadelphia, it probably got here faster. There was no interview and I never heard from them till I was accepted and was beginning to get worried as well. MICA did not do interviews this time but the director Timothy App did call a few people for phone interviews. Accepted: Indiana, Tyler Interview: MICA, SAIC, RISD, Yale, Columbia Rejected: Have not heard from UCLA and am beginning to feel that it's in this section I have a number on interviews coming up and I am really nervous. can we get a running list on interview questions?
