Out of curiosity, were you accepted outright or placed on the waiting list? I was put on the waiting list for GD (2yr), so just looking to see if people have been getting through from it.
Thank you! I was accepted via application management site on April 1st. The deadline for giving answers is April 25th, so I think that you should hear from them on that day. But maybe you should call the admission office and ask?

Officially going to Yale in the fall.

Thank you!

Hey Song, abit late but congrats! I got into Yale aswell! Crazy times.
I'm waiting to hear about the amount of financial aid they give me before I accept their offer. I have talked to a couple of students regarding the financial aid and they have told me that it was good for them especially considering the course is so small.
Like you i'm an international student and was wondering if the aid I get will differ from home students? Have you started looking into accommodation. How soon should we start organising this sort of stuff? I can really only afford to go to Yale if they offer me adequate financial help, so I cant really look into this stuff until I hear from them.
P.S. Eschaton, i'm really sorry to hear that, I've seen your work and it looks really great. I hope it works out for you.
Oh hi, Congratulations! You're for the 2yr program as well? Indeed crazy times. I'm too waiting for the financial aid offer - and I also heard from current students that it was generous [no numbers though]. The thing is, I am a U.S citizen - I just grew up in another country. So I don't exactly know what the policy there is for internationals. I haven't started looking for housing yet - since until the financial info comes up I don't know for sure that I can afford it. Have you started? Anyway - I'll keep you updated! Hope we'll meet someday :-)

It's April.2
Has anyone received a financial aid email from CalArts?
Nope, still waiting too.

CONGRATS Song! Sooo... I guess you're going? ;-)
Thank you so much! Yale sure is among my top choices - I'm afraid it really depends on the financial aid... I don't know how much Yale tends to help the students. Does anyone here know? Because I would really love to go there!
-
Wait listed AGAIN at Yale. Damn!
Oh man... Just saw your post. I hope it works out! Your probably somewhere at the top - they've seen your work and your progress from this past year - and it seems your interview was indeed very interesting. So hang in there!
-
CONGRATS!
i said it!!! I am on the waitlist and decide to go to sva.
If you come to nyc maybe be you can call on. lol REALLY jealous！Thank you! I was totally not expecting it... SVA is really great - it will be hard to decide... I'm glad you're happy about going there! And you know - it really isn't too far from New Haven
-
Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm bummed I havent hear from tyler, and am worried about what that means. Looks like im destined for some more waiting. TryIng to stay positive, but its hard
Kazoo - good luck! Hang in there - SAIC and UCSD are really great and they didn't give their final answer yet. I'm also on the waiting list for RISD...

I'm not 100% yet . . . I have a few more days of laying all the cards out on the table yet. However, I'm happy with my options, I think I'll be in good hands no matter where I go!
I'm sure of that. You have a list of some great schools there!
-
That's awesome Song, congratulations!
Thanks so much! Where are you going?

^ Yeah, I'm thinking Fulbright too. Would you say going to a top school (CMU in my case) is a good investment even if my dad was rich?
Like I dunno. I keep thinking if it's worth the total buck even If i had the ability to pay for the whole thing myself.
Well, that's really up to you - after all, your money is your business. I can say that in my opinion, education is the best way to spend one's money. In my case - I will be spending money I don't have - but I'm able to stay in the States, work and pay it back [not that it will be easy]. If you're planning on going back to your country after you graduate, but you think you can already get a good job there right now - then you should ask yourself if the extra education and the experience of living abroad are worth that amount of money. And ask yourself if with the salaries payed in your country, it is possible to cover the expenses of this education over a reasonable period of time.

Hey just wondering if they ever interrupted you while you were giving your presentation.
Hi, umm... yeah - I never really got a chance to go through any presentation - at the beginning they didn't even let me go into talking about individual pieces. They just kept asking me things about my work in general, and that lead to talking about individual pieces. It was more like a conversation of 7 people.
-
^ scholarships for me. I'm steering absolutely clear of loans.
Good luck with that! Going to these top schools almost always means taking out loans [unless you've got really rich parents]. I guess you can apply for Fullbright... I have dual citizenship so I'm not eligible for that. But I can stay and work after.

I got accepted by SVA's photography, video and related media program for 3 years. But they said they will not give any financial aid to internatinoal applicant. I got accepted by calarts as well. Like you said, they will send out the offer before early april. I am torn between these two options
I understood from current students in other schools, that were accepted to calarts and sva, that their financial aid is extremely limited for everyone - not only internationals. I'm a citizen - so I guess I'm eligible for loans [yey...].

I see. I have been interviewed in another department, and I’m feeling the same. It was a great experience, but I felt that I’d have done much better!
Hope we are going to hear some good news on April 2nd.
I guess it's comforting to know that this is their policy and style of interviewing. But it also means that it's a waist of time to try and figure out what they meant by acting like this - because they operate this method on everyone. I hope we both make it though! This will be a stressful week indeed.

oh! I am sure you made it ! It seems your interview goes very well. I also applied yale(3year) and had a skype interview. They didn't ask me many questions about my work...maybe not interesting enough...;( And the total time is 50min(plus with students...really short...). I guess I screwed it up because I was so nervous... Feel bad now...
I am considering to go to SVA, if you go there, let me know. ;-) (But I guess you will go to yale!)
Thank you! But like I said - I don't think I made it. I am finishing my undergrad this year - and it's very rare that they accept students so fresh out of school. Maybe if my interview would have been fabulous I would think I had a chance - but it didn't and I was nervous and I suspect they thought I was weird... As for your interview - I don't think the fact that it was on skype had an effect on it - you should stay optimistic! Maybe if we're really lucky we'll see each other next year at Yale :-) and if not - perhaps in SVA [which is also considered being lucky]. I'll let you know if I go there! Good luck to us!

I was accepted to the photo MFA program, but my acceptance letter didn't have even a word about financial aid in it. I'm worried that that's because it's all loans.....
Don't be too worried - I don't know what the SVA aid situation is, but at MICA their letter of acceptance also did not include any info on financial aid. Only a week later they sent me their proposal of a partial merit scholarship [and the rest loans].

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it. If it cheers you up - I was no. 1 one the RISD waiting list and got accepted pretty quickly. So I think you have a good chance.
