Hi! I got accepted into ICP-Bard as well!

I hear you on SVA... I've given up on it at this point.

Got into ICP-Bard! The chair called me last Wednesday but I missed the call since I was out of the country, and then the whoooooole weekend went by, and I was just intently staring at my phone. Then he called again Monday (yesterday) with the good news! So now I have two top-notch MFA photo programs to choose from! RIT (top 5 in the country according to US. News Report) and ICP-Bard (they only take about 10 to 12 people people each year!). Thoughts?

Congratulations Clarita!

Sstucky, when did you get into SVA? I thought they said they would send notification of all acceptances via mail, on April 1st. I'm confused because I wonder, if I haven't gotten an email from them at this point, it means I didn't get in. Anyone else heard from SVA?

I'm on the same boat. I thought they said ALL admissions decisions were sent via mail on April 1st. I didn't think there were already people accepted via email. I don't know what to make of these news either.

Hello all! this is my introduction. My name is Laura. I have only applied to three schools: RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology), SVA (School of Visual Arts), and ICP-Bard (International Center of Photography and Bard). My main priority is to stay in New York City (I did my photo undergrad at Parsons), but RIT has called and accepted me! offering quite a generous amount of money in scholarship, plus money in assistantship. ICP-Bard called me for an interview two weeks ago, and they said they would notified within a week. I still haven't heard from them. They say they interviewed about 30 people, and about 12 people get in. Has anyone here applied to their program, interviewed, and heard anything back? Finally, SVA is the longest wait. They say on their site they will notify via email on April 1st. Has anyone else heard from SVA prior to this date? Nervewrecking. Fingers crossed, but am ready for a no. And regarding Rochester... I am just so insecure about the idea of moving from the city to Rochester. What about the contacts, the clients, all the stuff I've build up in NYC? Will Rochester be challenging? Any piece of advice you guys might have, let me know!

Thanks!

Hi Decaf! did SVA MFA Photo called you for an interview before you heard of your acceptance via email on March 8th? On their site they say they'll notify everyone via mail on April 1st... and that's what I've been waiting for... but I think it might be a no if I haven't heard from them yet

Design0521, you got an interview from SVA? Is that something solely pertinent to Communication Design, or is it for all MFAs?
