labmouse Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Welcome avocadogelato! I'm still waiting on schools after a flurry of activity last week. I'm not waiting on the same exact schools, but I'm hanging in there.
pointedears Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 It's just a matter of ten more days at the worst. Still waiting to hear from 6 schools! And hey, welcome!
mojdfilm Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I also applied to IU-Bloomington and haven't heard anything. It says that they make there decisions by March 25th on the website.
xaviercugie Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Just got two letters in the mail sfai and columbia college. Sfai -Rejection & Columbia acceptance.
BEAR Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I was lurching on the general forums and am excited to find other MFA hopefull potentialls. I interviewed for the photo for SAIC and SFAI. Does anyone know if RISD does interviews or am I already rejected there? Thanks!

Does anyone know if RISD does interviews or am I already rejected there? Thanks! I saw that some people got interviews like back at the end of Feb. I just got my rejection letter today from RISD so I guess it is safe to say you will hear soon.

Does anyone know if RISD does interviews or am I already rejected there? Thanks! They do, but not for everyone. So there still is hope.
BEAR Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks for both replies! Has anyone been accepted to SAIC, SFAI, RISD or Columbia for Photo?
pointedears Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Got an email from CCA today. Accepted. No word on funding yet. I need that merit scholarship dammit.
portafoy Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 received telephonic confirmation of admission to the SVA MFA/photo program today. No word on finance.
mojdfilm Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 "Decisions have not yet been made. I know they are working on this now, and I will let you know as soon as I know." I sent a message to Notre Dame, so anyone else out there.. its gonna be a little bit longer.

Jps472 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Congrats! Has anyone heard from SAIC Photo MFA? I heard from SAIC MFA Photo maybe a week and half ago (rejected). Hopefully you get better news.
portafoy Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 sorry to hear that, jps472. Did you interview at SAIC? I had an interview there but haven't heard anything.
BEAR Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I'm sorry to hear you were rejected, I had an interview and know someone else who has been accepted into fibers but Ive heard nothing yet from photo...I'm ready to know...either way.
Jps472 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 BEAR and portafoy, sorry didnt realize you were talking about hearing after an interview. nope did not get an interview so I imagine that makes a big difference. Good luck.
backpack Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Question!! Does anybody know about Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts at philadelphia? I really need information about MFA, paintng program of the school, before I decide (reputation, circumstance, educational quality..anything) Any comments will be very helpful! Thanks.
Paul51 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 About the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts MFA program. I completed the Academy's undergrad (certificate) program a couple years ago and know a lot about the school and faculty...this year I'm determined to move away for grad school so I did not apply. I'd say this is a solid, up and coming program. Going in, you should know that it doesn't have the reputation that other schools have because it is still getting its footing. You'd have to put your faith in it as far as notoriety. Many faculty members are coming in from NY others are some of the more relevant undergrad faculty... The facilities are newly updated (they just moved)--- you'd get a great studio downtown Philly/access to an awesome print shop/sculpture spaces (remember no photography and very limited digital/computer labs). You should know there is a huge huge gap in purpose and practice between the Cert and MFA program. The Romantic/Traditional aroma of the place is really coming from the certificate program... The MFA's read more, are thinking about expanding their work conceptually,and everyone gets great exhibition space for their end-of-year shows etc. There is a social divide between the two programs which is unfortunate I think. The Academy of course is the nations oldest art school and houses an impressive collection of American art in the Museum which is quite beautiful... Travel to see it I'd say HMMM, shoot me a message/mail for other questions.
noraArts Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 So far I have had 4 no's. 2 to go. Congrats to everyone on acceptances. I'm confused by Pratt... they lost my transcripts and contacted me mid March. Their website said that they will be notifying people in April, but I have seen posts already. Are these real? Thanks! Watching the dream die....
riskynostalgia Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 One of my schools wants an answer on the next week at the latest. I haven't heard back from 5 of my schools. Argh.
pointedears Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 One of my schools wants an answer on the next week at the latest. I haven't heard back from 5 of my schools. Argh. That sucks. Which school would that be?
