justaylor Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 1 hour ago, Aatt said: 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. How did you think that went?

painting2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 What are you all doing to prep for interviews?

I'm just printing out the list of interview questions from previous year's forum and make notes of my answers as a guide for myself. I'm v forgetful so it's good for me to have something to reference/look at. Also, read up about the program/school and the faculty. A friend is going to help practice the interview with me which I think will be helpful as well. Good luck!

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!! Can you clarify which UC schools your friend has interviews with? There are more than 3 UC schools that I can think of. And congrats on UMN! Did they interview you or just call?
chartblob Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Got an interview request for Urbana Champaign for this Friday!

Actually they sent it on the 25th but i didnt see it untill a few days ago because it went into my spam email, woops. They asked me to pick a spot to interview on either the 1st or 3rd of Feb so it may be cutting it a little close, but there could be other interviews i dont know about. Fingers crossed for you! prodmod 1

Good luck! Let us know how it goes! CMU was my long shot app - was really interested in working with Golan Levin - if you talk to him be sure to let me fanboy on the experience.
Gblls Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Had an interview with UC Davis, but haven’t heard final results. Waiting on VCU, Northwestern, Tyler, MICA, UofI and Yale starting to feel like VCU and Northwestern were a no if other people have been hearing though.
Pallavi.Daga Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Looks like VCU is a no if they've started sending out emails for all departments. 5/6 designers is really tough though! Sigh. Gblls 1

Looking back at our conversations, he applied to UCLA, Riverside, and Irvine. And thank you!! UMN is my top choice along with UW-Mad, so I’m excited. They called this morning and left a voicemail saying that I got accepted, no interview (thank goodness). arusse 1

Pallavi.Daga Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Has anyone heard from SAIC Communication Design? The interview calls were supposed to be out before 1st Feb and its racking my brains out, whether I'm getting it or not.
Sylvieee Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Let me know if anyone hears from VCU photo today! Hoping notices haven't been sent out for photo yet and that we hear today or tomorrow. calmly waiting 1
acs000 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 You guys, my anxiety is out of control. I keep thinking I'm not gonna get in anywhere and I'm scared my statements weren't good enough etc etc. Do most schools send out interview requests by the 1st or is that just some schools? tee_lemon 1

This is my second year doing this. I'm terrified this was all for nothing. So I feel you, let's just do our best to stay hopeful. Last year notifications were scattered throughout the beginning of February so don't put too much focus on tomorrow. Also lots of schools in the Midwest will be delayed due to the weather!

Do you think they send out multiple rounds of interview requests or just the one??
