Ok Here it goes:
Pratt- Accepted
Yale, RISD, Rutgers, Tulane- Reject
SAIC- recommended for Post-Baccalaureate
U Mass Amherst-nothing
VCU- nothing
Here's the thing, I have a good amount of experience as a professional artist. I'm young, but have published an artist book, received funding from Andy Worhol Foundation and National Endowment for the arts. Had Artist residencies and I have even sold all my pieces in a group show in nyc-post recession.(Im from midwest). But Ive received tons of rejects from these schools.
1)Is there anyone that knows how this admissions process works?
2)Which is better Pratt or SAIC post-bac. SAIC is a better school with a better rep, but I will still have to apply again for an MFA program. Pratts not that bad and its in NY, but its not that good either. What advice is out there?
