Just booked a flight to NYC. I haven't been anywhere during the past 4 years of my undergrad and now I'm going to spend 8 days traveling ( 4 in San Fran and 4 in NYC with one day of work in between). Think I've narrowed it down to SFAI and City College. I know that this trip will give me the answer.

I'm trying to see if I can get a "cheap" trip to NYC for the week after I travel to San Francisco to see it for myself. I'm really excited about an opportunity to study art in New York City. Plus the email I received was from Tom Thayer, and he is awesome!! (just happens to be in the Whitney Biennial this year).

Accepted to City College of New York via email today.

You made me feel better about not getting full-funding. I also received an email that SFAI is going to let me attend one of their graduate critiques when I am visiting. I know that it will help me decide everything.



And the way I interpreted what you were saying that anywhere besides RISD and Yale are NOT worth borrowing money to go to. I feel like this is very defeating to most of us, or at least to me. Your saying that schools, like MICA, CMU, SAIC, etc, which are REALLY good schools are not worth going to if they don't pay your way for you. I'm leaning toward going to SFAI , but I will have to borrow money to do so, because I don't want to pass up an opportunity that I probably won't receive again. And yes, I am 30 years old.

Plus, if we wanted to make the BIG BUCKS, I think most of us would not be getting into this field. I think we would have sacrificed our happiness to make money and we would be applying for MBA, etc. programs. I've been doing research about the loans, and the income-based repayment options sounds pretty reasonable. I'm really lucky and have only borrowed money from the Dept of Education so interest rates are always regulated.

Dear Mr. Mailman,

Stop bringing me Thin Envelopes of Doom, please. Acceptances only from now on.

Thanks,

One Anxious Soul

If this is the case, then I'm really disappointed in UPenn. They could have broken our little hearts months ago. When I was looking up and researching schools, none of the schools (except for NYU) even stated that they required an interview to be accepted. Plus the way that she worded the email made it sound like if you got the email you were accepted, "view your notification letter and financial aid letter."

Got an email from Arizona State today, letting me know that their tuition for next year has changed. Thanks for letting me know even though you sent me a "Deny" Letter at the beginning of February. Ugh!!!

I hope it is because everyone is making art. I know for me art is a cartharsis that helps me deal with life. So I'm hoping that this process is not stopping anyone from making anything. If anything, use it as a catalyst to make something outrageous and new.

I feel the same. I feel truly lucky to be in this position pursuing goals that some people can't. But life goes on, and we also can't stop and wallow in the "what if's" and "could/should have been's," but count ourselves fortunate that we even get the chance to pursue graduate school and careers beyond that.

Here is an example of what some of us would like to do upon getting rejection letters:

Dear Professor Millington,
Thank for your letter of April 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission to your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite W.M.U.'s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will join the ranks of graduate students in your department this September. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
[your name here]

That is what happened to me during my SFAI interview. My interviewer said there was a spot waiting for me if I wanted it. And then spent the rest of the scheduled time telling me why they were the perfect fit for me and how much I would love San Francisco.
