justaylor Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Also, to people who have gotten interview invites or have done interviews, what do they ask you to bring in terms of art or pictures of anything? I´ve never been through this process so I just want to prepare for anything and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryfive Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 A painter on the Yale thread said that they have an interview with VCU. Anyone else hear from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon2Lemonade Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Everyday I check the GradCafe "Results" section https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/ and I see graduate applicants posting the day they get invitations to interview, or the day they receive rejections, acceptances, waitlist notifications, etc. but I never see MFA grad applicants posting this year. Might we all post as soon as we hear anything? It would help us all, and it is anonymous (in case anyone is worried about that). I have not received any calls or emails. No program has contacted me and it would be so much better for me to know when others are being contacted. Please consider? Best of luck to all! radpretzel, sunflowerlemon, justaylor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariet Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) To those that are asking about UCSB, a photographer I know is applying to all three UC schools and has interviews with two of them this week. Not sure of any other details, but I hope it offers some clarity! Also, I just got a call from the Drawing/Painting/Printmaking dept head at University of Minnesota — I was accepted!!

Polka-Dot Cat Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi Guys!! Has anyone heard from SAIC masters in Fashion or Teaching? Still waiting on the last two. In a previous email they sent, they mentioned that all email requests would be sent out before February 1st. Is anyone else still waiting on them?

I´ve never been through this process so I just want to prepare for anything and everything. It depends on the school and the department. Sometimes they'll tell you to bring works, or just samples of materials you work with. Usually they are conscious of the level of inconvenience they are asking for (ie its easier for photo kids to bring work than sculptors), but Yale is notorious for making students bring full finished paintings. The best preparation is to have a couple studio visits the week before, with people who have never seen your work. It helps to practice voicing the main ideas behind your work so you don't seem nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word from VCU yet, but I applied for graphic design. I went down for the open house and they said they only take 5 or 6 designers, so we have some stiff competition. Eee good luck everyone!

I´ve never been through this process so I just want to prepare for anything and everything. I had one interview so far, it was Skype and they didn’t ask to see any work. It was pretty conversational they gave me a rundown of the program and mostly asked me about my experience and the types of projects I have worked on. Then asked what drew me to their program in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
