SAIC. If you go there, the goal wouldn't be to sink, it would be just the opposite. If you think you have what it takes to make the best work possible and get the most out of such an amazing program, you go. You got in because they saw potential and they felt they could work with you. It's SAIC's goal to have a student go on to do big things (makes their school more successful). With the big things comes $$, you can pay the loans back. Don't be a rabbit. Also, don't let your ego get in the way because you were accepted off the waitling list (maybe it didn't, but just saying). Christ, look at my list! I hope you go.

Just a brief idea.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UrX4g8aO-A No funding for Americans, but worth it.

Got into RCA off the reserve list, and GOING! Glad to finally be done with this process (about 1 month later than all yall)... xo

Girl, I love your work.

People waiting for a potential spot at Hunter MFA Painting, I am going to decline. Just wanted to post that.

No clue, but perhaps some of the accepted folks on here could let us know...

Yea I know how it is.. but I'm on waitinglist for a different dept.

25%. Not sure what I want to do about it still. Need to get off waitlists.

I would like for some painters who got into RISD (who know they are not going to attend) to let the school know. Now. That's all.

If you know you are going to: Hunter SAIC RCA RISD Please message me so we can look at eachother's work.. still trying to decide where to go Thank you!

Accepted into Hunter MFA Painting via email to log in to account.

Any Hunter painters or sculptors out there? What's the word?? I've heard nothing..

Email today letting me know I am on the reserve list for Royal College of Art, MA in Painting

Time to think about being on waitlists.

Waitlisted by RISD, Painting, April 15, sounds good.

Sent my letter back to MICA letting them know I will not be attending MT. Royal. If anyone is on a waitlist or hasn't been notified yet - you might get my spot.

Another read on it is, a bike painted white means the biker died..

Let's think about something else: what are you making for dinner?

Really don't think I'm getting any good news from RISD.. people already received call-backs.

Both were about 25% off of tuition.

REJECTED also: Columbia! Whateva, their studios are tiny. (-;

Accepted into SAIC Painting via a phone call this morning (which will be followed by snail mail packet).

And to add to this: the deciders at these programs are looking through a pool of other candidates' works. (I'm painting, so my thoughts come from that standpoint..) Out of 500 or so aplications, you get categories: abstract, landscape, figurative, neo-surreal etc. From there you get sub categories of subject matter: identity dealing with the artist's race (black, asian, white, native american, latino etc.), feminism, fascination with the entertainment industry. The point is, we are learning and studying our contemporaries. We attempt to create unique work, yet we fit into categories. If we don't get into a program (or any of our wanted programs) it isn't because our work is shit, it's because of the odds that we do not have control over.

This does not sound like a good idea. Please don't take this the wrong way, I don't mean to crush any dreams or hopes for living in a peaceful and beautiful local but I don't think there would be any galleries/exposure on the top of the Rockies or in any forest. If you want to have a career as an artist, you need to place yourself in the heart of the beast. NY, L.A., Chicago, Texas, Boston, Florida, Washington DC, SF.. these are all hot spots. If you really want to give yourself an advantage, go to places like London, China, Brazil, France, Germany (I know some of you are going to respond with things like, "it's not just about selling," or "not every amazing artist lived in any of these places." All true, but, if you think about the competition for the field we have chosen (which continues to steadily rise year after year) it would be smart to take up more of a business stance to all of this. Unless you are quilting, making watercolors of deer for a state fair or designing signs for local lawn mowing businesses, you need to be in a place where there's an art hub and community.
