Don't mean to be this annoying person, but has anyone heard from SAIC's Printmedia yet?

Anyone else recieve an email from SAIC with info about how to apply to the Margot and Thomas Pritzger Family Scholarship? I am wondering if it is a blanket email to all prospective students, or students they are offer admissions to.

Also, you have to realize at Tulane, they are taking only a few students with a full ride and no one else. Often they already have someone in mind, or a teacher who wrote a recomendation knows a faculty member at the school.

Hey guys, just some random advice: Contact Schools! If you want an application status update they are happy to oblige I have found.

I have had two different teachers in undergrad who went to Cranbrook. Both were great. Both got teaching jobs early in their careers. Also, if you are need based cranbrook will help you out if you fill out your fafsa. Not as much as some schools, but certainly a nice chunk of change. If you are a successful artist, with gallery respresentation, grants, impressive residencies, and or public art pieces, ect. there are schools that will want to hire someone like you. Cranbrook will focus on your studio practice. They are very straightforward in explaining this. Getting teaching experiance is a good way to build a path toward teaching, but talk to your past proffessors and you will see that many did not follow that path. There are tons of different paths in something as happenstance as the art world. There are great teachers and artists who come from such a diverse background of schools. So my advice is to go to the school you are most excited about. Don't feel that you need to go to the "biggest most reputable school." Go to a program you like. And if you don't want student loans, take that into consideration too.

Thanks for the information. That is good to know! Wa that Andrew Raftery you met with? Awesome artist if it is.

Congrats to the RISD interviewees! Has anyone heard from the printmaking department at RISD?

Just visited Cranbrook. Cranbrook is an amazing amazing place. If you are unsure about it, visit it! Talk to students there! You will understand why it is great.

School of the Art Institute has a great art and technology department with some awesome professors. You should check it out.

Just received a kind email for admissions at Cranbrook. I think the departments there handle it differently. Printmedia just let me know I was in. It feels good to be accepted into a program! Hang in there guys!

I received a letter, from the Print-media Department.

I just got an interview at SAIC!!!!!!! Um and for those worried about the process, you just have to wait it out. Getting a rejection from Yale was a huge blow to my confidence, but a school could really like your work, but think that the program is not right for you. So, everyone hang in there!
