I was waitlisted three place. One just accepted me, one just rejected me, and I still haven't heard from another. I think that should sum it up. With my programs, they're really small, so if you're waitlisted, you really do have a chance of getting in. But when they're full, they're full. You know?

I am also curious about the rationale between new york studio programs. I only applied to Pratt because I was looking for printmaking programs. Don't know for sure why I didn't apply to Columbia. Within the New York MFA world, what are the differences between these schools?

I could really use some input. Having studied in the humanities as an undergrad, I am not super hip to the reputation or realities of some of the nation's art schools. And, as a printmaker, I was looking for schools that were committed to printmaking and had not yet abandoned it or combined it with painting or something. A good friend of mine who went to RISD as an undergrad and is at UCLA for grad school in painting was really negative when I told him I was applying to Pratt. Pratt was the only NY school I applied to. And low and behold, it is the only school I have been accepted to so far. I was waitlisted three other places (Tyler, UTexas Austin, and SAIC). So, I guess I am wondering what is Pratt's reputation/reality for MFA in studio? And what about the other schools? Am I wrong in perceiving their MFA studio programs to be very structured/less independent? Hey, and if you know anything about printmaking specifically, all the better. I am going to visit Pratt, but again, looking for the word on the interweb.
