    Waiting to hear back - MFA in Photography

    in Visual

    Posted

    The photo dept. chair, Steven Smith, did his undergrad at my university. I don't know him personally but I have spoken to him a couple of times via email and he seems like a really nice guy. I purchased his book as I like his work quite a bit and wish I had been accepted there.

    What's not to like about such a renowned program? One thing in RISDs favor over Yale - Yale seems to only hire Yale graduates. While RISD faculty are from all over. This tells me that Yale is perhaps very insular and not as open to finding the "right" faculty no matter where they went to school.

    Thanks for the response

    Where did you two do your under graduate studies?

    Yeah, he does seem like a genuinely nice fellow. So, don't get me wrong, I think the program is great, but just wondered if anyone had any first hand or second hand experience with it. The faculty are stellar, from their personal work strength to their accomplishments to the diversity of the portfolios, which is a great blend. There just seems to be so much information and commenting about the top program, Yale, and its philosophies but not much about the next two, in order, SAIC and RISD. Though RISD is generally considered to top fine art school in the country, I am speaking specifically of the Photo Department.

    It is too early to hear from RISD from last years threads. Perhaps not for another 2 weeks or so. Many people don't list all the schools that they applied to (or even any of them). Yes, I applied there. Also, most people who apply, aren't on here. I'm sure that they get many applications.
    Ah, ok. I assumed so and they do state it on their site, but, that is the only public indication. Thanks.

    I applied to RISD for photo and haven't heard anything yet. I'll be at CalArts photo interviews on the 8th too! :)

    Oh nice. Maybe we will meet. Do you know much about the RISD program. For such a great school, there does not seem to be many grads around (i know, kinda vague comment) but also few on this site have applied. I just wonder, you know?
