  1. Well, if they say no keep pushing! Calling is often more effective. I just declined my offer so my scholarship of about a 1/3 tuition should be opening up for someone (or a spot off the waitlist) for Mt. Royal at least.
  2. How much? That's great, though!
  3. UCSC digital arts / new media MFA gives all admits a full ride plus TA stipend (guaranteed first year, second year contingent on obtaining a TAship yourself)
  4. Oh, because it's work study allotment at probably 8-10$/hr for 10-20/hr week. That's ridiculous! This isn't undergrad.
  5. Yeah, it unfortunately has nothing to do with how much they like (or don't!) your work... I too was admitted to Mt. Royal with 1/3 of tuition, and during my interview he said "well, I'm not supposed to tell you this but from the bottom of my heart I just have to let you know our funding is embarrassing, it's truly the one flaw of the program currently". The 800/mo for TAing is truly shocking though, Baltimore is cheap (easily find rent in the 3-400 range) but still, that's unlivable.
  6. What sort of fin aid/funding has SAIC offered folks (excluding those lucky ducks with the one full ride per dept)?
  7. Oh wow, Baltimore is fairly cheap as far as east coast cities are concerned, but 725 is unlivable! You'd have to get at least two and that would seriously eat into your own studio time if you could even secure multiple TAships in the first place. I'm sorry you didn't get a better offer for your dream school! Do you have other options at least? I'm certainly turning them down, so perhaps you can leverage for more money if you are explicit in your intentions to attend? I know there was a post a few pages back about someone getting double their initial award by leveraging with SFAI I believe it was...
  8. I feel you... They gave me a merit scholarship of 12300 renewable the second year (out of 42k tuition). Haven't recieved my financial aid packet yet, but I imagine it's just loans.
  9. Just received an acceptance notification for MICA Mt. Royal via phone! Chris Herring said my acceptance packet was mailed Friday (3/13). Very odd considering it was my worst interview, but I won't complain obviously!
  10. My interviewer told me outright at the end that MICA's funding is "embarrassing", at least for Mt. Royal though I can't imagine it differs much between schools. I.e., some for all, all for none -- you can expect 20-60% at best out of 45k. But most people get around 1/3rd of tuition I believe...
  11. I just received an official acceptance letter/package from them today with instructions to log into student information, email, etc. But nothing about scholarships or financial aid in it... I assume those are being sent out this week? Has anyone received anything official from CCA yet (I was sent an 'unofficial' email with my acceptance on Friday but no follow up yet)? Folks at UCSC visit day -- anything to report?
  12. I imagine they would call everyone today and tomorrow? So if no word yet, I'd wait another day before the panic sets in fully. These professors have a lot on their plates so I highly doubt they're making 15 phone calls all today (printmedia said they usually accept around 15 for the 8-10 spots as some will decline obviously). (did we meet at the graduate day on 2/28? I showed up in the afternoon though...)
  13. Just got a phone call from SAIC printmedia accepting me! Official email and info to follow. Said nothing about funding, however...
  14. When I asked in my interview my panel said we should hear this week or next if you're accepted (most likely a phone call, but could be an email). Otherwise, I believe rejections are sent out mid-late March...
  15. SOO happy for you! Congrats!!! (And even happier that it means you'll be rejecting UOregon and perhaps that'll give me an in... )
