    I was notified of admission as late as April 1 on my last round of applications, from Columbia. That was the outlier; I had heard from my other programs by mid-March.

    That really depends on the program. On my first round on MA applications in 2012, I was accepted without interviews to two UChicago programs (Divinity school and the Division of the Humanities) and Columbia. This round, I was accepted without interview to SAIC, and accepted after interview to SFAI. I was not invited to interview at Bard (rejection) and flat-out rejected from Maine. Some programs interview as a matter of course, others only interview if they see a strong candidate but aren't sure about how they'll fit in the program, or to break a tie between two attractive candidates. So short answer: no, it's not weird to get accepted without an interview.

    I'm touring the SAIC graduate studios and meeting with the program director on Monday (I've got two equally attractive admits, so the decision is basically going to come down to funding) and I'm hoping they'll have some sort of answer then. I emailed FinAid, but got the form letter saying that they won't send out funding info until after the 3/10 FAFSA deadline. Still, I'm like 80% sure that I'll be going to Chicago instead of San Francisco.

    I'm both a SAIC and a UChicago alum and...whoo boy, there is a lot of ego at both schools. Overall though I was very happy with both.

    Accepted into the San Francisco low-res program!
  6. MonkeyPants
    Have you gotten funding info from SAIC yet? I've also been accepted into the low-res program, but no funding info yet.
  7. MonkeyPants
    Welp, rejected from MECA. Which is a shame, because the program was very attractive to me. At least I have the consolation of a SAIC admit. Still waiting on a decision from SFAI after my interview, too.

    I interviewed by phone, with a single faculty member.

    I asked for my interviewer's email during our conversation. It came up naturally when she told me to call her if I had any more questions.
  10. MonkeyPants
    Thanks for the info! I guess I'll stop refreshing my email and...go do something productive?
  11. MonkeyPants
    Just got their rejection email a few minutes ago.
  12. MonkeyPants
    Has anyone heard anything from Maine College of Art (MECA)?
  13. MonkeyPants
    Well, crud. Do you happen to know if they notify via email or post?

    Thanks for posting this, Turnip! I had my interview with SFAI yesterday, and I prepped largely by printing out your questions and making extensive notes on them. While we were talking, I was able to reference those (and they asked a LOT of the questions you listed!), and it made me feel so much more confident and relaxed during the process. So basically, if I get accepted, you're getting the credit. Thanks again!

    Ohmygosh, hooray!!!! Congratulations!

    The gentleman I spoke with said to call the director of Financial Aid, as he doesn't have any reliable info. My letter came yesterday, but made no mention of aid.

    Some of the best, smartest people I know have been rejected from Yale. They moved on to other grad programs and they're nailing it in their practices. Keep your head up!
  19. MonkeyPants
    Accepted to SAIC Low-Res!!!! Got the call this morning (Saturday) and I'm shaking. Did they happen to mention anything about financial aid to you?
  20. MonkeyPants
    Thank you!! And congratulations!
  21. MonkeyPants
    Nothing here, either, but I've got an interview with SFAI next week. Super antsy because SAIC low-res is my dream. I went there for undergrad and loved it.

    One year a long time ago, there were penguins who didn't wear hats when swimming. This made their mothers livid. "Unacceptable!" Frightened, they screamed, "Bears!" Nobody seemed convinced so instead of going swimming they tried juggling. Their mothers tried everything they thought would teach her a skill. However, she couldn't even make oatmeal without disastrous results. So, the penguins gathered money (obviously) trying to purchase a bear. Towering over them, a grizzly beast danced, devouring all bears with such ferocity that even God enjoyed it. Afterwards, God congratulated the penguins and applauded them. "You did it!" Suddenly, the grizzly beast started dancing vigorously. There was an acromantula nearby. It challenged the preconception that magical mushrooms were magical. Sparkling, the magical mushrooms were spreading throughout town. Nobody with pyromania thought grilled cheese would spontaneously erupt into nine identical squirrels! Nevertheless, the penguins elucidated the benefits of sparkling water from Iceland. Suddenly, Iceland exclaimed, "Enough!!! No more penguins. Kill all of the arcades on Monday because King Arthur suffered from sphenisciphobia." Tragically, everyone forgot lasers cure bug madness, meaning none

    Thanks!! The interview is by phone (they asked my preference) on 2/9/17. I'll be interviewing with the program director, so I've got some time to frantically research her and plan out good questions.

    First interview notice came today, from SFAI. Want to see me FREAK OUT?
