  1. No offense to any of you chiming in, but I didn't actually ask for a critique! I didn't get into any schools this year, but I didn't have a lot of time to research. I previously was accepted to Cranbrook, SMFA, and SVA (funds issues prevented me from attending), so I'm not desperate for an acceptance or fear that no program will accept my work as "fine arts". Of course I will keep exploring and working on my art, but I do disagree that fine arts cannot include any narrative themes (as they erases centuries of art history) or that painting must include exploration of material. But we can agree to disagree, this thread is not really for that type of stuff.
  2. Thanks for the suggestion! I do enjoy work like that. I get the illustration thing a lot, but I have no interest in that. Illustration is inherently commercial or for some sort of purpose, while fine arts is outside of that. There's lots of artists that do illustrative-type work that aren't illustrators, say like Marcel Dzama or Amy Cutler. But really I think people just associate drawing with illustration, and everyone sees painters as fine arts.
  3. Got an official rejection from Cornell today, that just leaves VCU and since I was not interviewed, I can most assuredly write them off. So rejections all around!! Oh well, life goes on.
  4. Yeah, I actually said I was interviewed and accepted. For me the size of the program and then the small amount of financial aid they gave me were the main reasons that I turned them down. I was just bugged in the interview (it was a professor and a grad student) how the grad student seemed to focus on how fun it was, how the critiques weren't super hard, etc, etc. For me that just isn't what I want to hear.
  5. Arsenic, I was interviewed and accepted to SMFA last year and felt pretty similarly to you about the school. I didn't really click with anyone there and it just didn't feel very "me." I was interviewed by a professor who didn't do studio arts at all so that made it a bit awkward for me.
  6. Checked my Rutgers status - denied. I wish I would at least get waitlisted somewhere.
  7. "No decision" still on Rutgers for me, I'll take it as something right now, lol.
  8. Urgh, no news from me. I'm assuming rejection for everything at this point.
  9. Thanks so much! I've just been trying to stay stress free and continue making work. Yeah, I got a letter.
  10. https://admissionservices.rutgers.edu/graduate/programStatusLogon.app - this page lets you check your application status for Rutgers, just fyi for you guys.
  11. Got a rejection from Tyler yesterday. No emails or calls for interviews. The most I can hope for now is to be waitlisted.
  12. So jealous of all these acceptances! Congrats everyone! Now can I just get one too?
  13. Oops, yeah you're right. I don't know where I even got that from. Must not respond as soon as I wake up, lol.
  14. Cornell's deadline for apps isn't until the 15th. I doubt they've even started to review them.
  15. Last year SVA accepted me from the waitlist 2 weeks before the semester started!
