Yep, kind of in the same boat. I have/had a choice between multiple, expensive schools. Still not sure what I will do. Doesn't make much sense to go into a huge amount of debt for art school since you don't get out and all of a sudden make a ton of money... Same for me in graphic design. I don't know what to do either! Eek!

It can't hurt to let them know you're still very interested and want to know more information. Depending on the school, sometimes it's more complicated than ranking if they're trying to balance a class, but sometimes it's just plain ranking. I say, Ask!

Okay, I sent an email and got one back from Bethany, the graphic design director. She said she's let me know by the end of the week (and definitely before Tuesday evening, which is when I leave for a 72 hour bus ride from Bogota to Lima). I'm sure it's different for all departments, but if you're really interested in RISD, send them a nice email letting them know that you are interested and waiting! Keep yourself fresh in their brains...

Do you know when accepted students have to notify RISD or pay to keep their spots?

Heya All, So I'm still on the wait list at RISD. Sigh. Anyone else in the same boat? I've gotten into CalArts, which seems like a perfect fit for what I want in a program, but they don't have much funding for anyone... News? Updates? Rachel

Unofficial rejection from VCU Visual Communications today. Apparently they made their decisions on Friday and will be communicating shortly. Now I'm only waiting to hear from two schools...

Heya All, Has anyone else applied to any schools in Europe? I would love some perspective/ advice. I just found out I got into the international MFA program at the University of Basel in Switzerland and got an interview at the Royal College of Art in London. Rachel

Did anyone apply to VCU for Graphic Design? When do they start requesting interviews? -Rachel

I applied for the 3 year since my design background is limited. See you soon!

Yep, I'm flying to interview at CalArts for their 3 year graphic design program. (I live in SF though, so it's not such a trek). If you can gather funds to make it, I think it will be worth it (and even if you get in, it might help you get more funding in the long run) Rachel CalArts (interview) RISD (interview) VCU CCA undergrad Konstfack Design Academy Basel UA London Central St Martins Royal College of Art

Anyone know what the interviews are like at CalArts? Anyone going March 8th to interview for Graphic Design?

Hello! I just found out I have an interview at CalArts. Does anyone know about their interview process or have advice for interviews for Graphic Design programs in general? I am applying mostly for three year programs as I don't have much of a design background. Thanks, Rachel

I got a request for an Interview from them yesterday. I'm really nervous about it. Has anyone heard anything about what their interview process is like? -Rachel

Does anyone know what the CalArts interview is like?

Hi Y'all. I just found out I have an interview at Cal Arts and am incredibly nervous about the interview. Does anyone know what their interview is like? Thanks, Rachel
