  1. Post Bac, I'm sure, is a non degree. You basically get all the perks of a graduate student, you just get absolutely no degree for it. Studios are usually available, crits with professors and your peers. Just no degree. And yes, the graduate level hours look great for your next round of applications. And you could probably get some pretty good rec letters out of it too. Like I said, if you can afford it, GO FOR IT! If you are looking to improve your work, that's the way to do it. Another option instead of post bacc is applying for a residency. Once you apply, some will actually pay for you to go. And there are different residencies for different amounts of time-between a week to a year. Looks just as good as post bacc on a resume or application.
  2. Saw you got an interview with Hunter - what department? Waiting to hear from them myself.
  3. I'm in the same point, (fresh out of undergrad and getting nothing but rejections so far). Didn't apply to post bacc programs though. As far as if it's worth it or not, if you have the money and don't have to pull out loans, then I'd do it. If it's a school that you would like to attend for your master's and you get in good standing with the faculty, then you have a good shot after you finish the program. And secondly, don't take it personally. It sucks, and I'm having a hard time with it too. But really, I think some life experience is just as important to improving your artistic practice as a degree, whatever it may be. Take a year or two off. Just continue working and apply next year. Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP!
  4. I applied to UW, and haven't heard, but a friend of mine has already got accepted and offered a TA position.
