hey brosenth! just curious if you let uic know about your decision...should i hope that you haven't and i may get your seconds!? ha! thanks!

Seriously...I would highly suggest thinking about another school if people were planning on going to SAIC. The work that comes out of the program is generally pretty weak. of course there are exceptions, but for the amount of people they graduate (close to 200 MFAs a year!!!) the percent of "good" work is VERY low... Also, while SAIC rules chicago (simply because most artists here have some affiliation w/ "the school"), Chicago is not the place to be if you want to "make it". it's a great place for cheap(er) rent, and has a pretty good level of events (galleries, lectures...ect). I would be very weary to suggest SAIC, unless you received full funding...in that instance...do it to it!!!

i just contacted them...more than likely you are on the wait-list...i had a friend accepted and a friend rejected...so things are looking good!

hello, i guess i make "Sculpture"...ha looks like i will be doing a "round two" next year... UCLA - Rejected UCSD - Rejected USC - Nothing, assuming rejection Otis - Accepted, but turned down offer (had free application waiver from grad portfolio day) Illinois Chicago - Waitlist U of Chicago- Accepted (No money, although a friend of mine received half-tuiton) Northwestern - Waitlist Hunter - Rejected (that one hurt!) Bard - Rejected Yale - Rejected Columbia - Rejected
