What dept. did you apply to? I think ppl from last year’s forum heard back from SAIC painting around March 1st. Altho so far, a few from SAIC fibers and another dept. have gotten admission notifications. I’m waiting to hear back from SAIC painting too. Not sure about MICA tho. 

I applied into Teaching, Fashion, and Fibers, so still waiting on these departments.

That’s what my Bard email said too.  I took it as a rejection.  I suppose if all extended offers are declined, they will go back into the application pool.   So it’s not a straight up rejection I guess? ??‍♂️

That wording is really ambiguous, but perhaps the good standing remark was meant to convey an encouragement to apply again if you weren't invited for an interview. Also, I don't remember my rejection letter from Bard off the top of my head, but I received an interview invite this year after two previous rejections, so I hope you guys keep up the good fight should you not be admitted to your desired program this year and get rewarded for your efforts down the road.

I’m not sure what this means but I’m thinking it’s a rejection? Sculpture dept:

Thank you for applying to Bard MFA. The Graduate Committee and Faculty have carefully reviewed all applications and selected approximately 12 candidates per discipline to interview on March 2nd. I am sorry to say that you were not selected for an interview on March 2nd. 

Please know that the admissions and acceptance process will take some time. Your application is now and will remain in good standing until final decisions have been made. At any point in this process you may be notified of a change to your application status.

Thank you for your patience. We send you every wish for continued good work.

 

What do they mean good standing? I’m a little confused lol 
 

Is this the waitlist for the interview? Like whet

 

Yes, it sounds like they are still considering you as a backup, or they are at the least very polite in rejecting.

Damn! Even I didn't know that before. I applied within 05/01 to the Visual Communications design. They don't conduct interviews, as far as I know.

Nope, I am in anxiety too? Maybe by early March, according to former years' results?

Yeah, I guess. Last year results were out by March 8th or something. But if the deadline was extended, god knows. ??

I received an e-mail from DHL saying that a delivery from SAIC is coming on the 25th. Since the interview didn't go well in my opinion, I'm guessing that's my rejection letter... Also found out through the Goldsmith admissions portal that I didn't get in (I didn't get an e-mail from them, which I thought was a bit strange).

Hi everyone, been anonymously lurking and reading here the past few months through my application process. I applied to 7 schools and have only heard back from Yale (rejection) and MECA (acceptance via phone call last tuesday). 

Has anyone heard from the following schools? 

Columbia University (I think I read they all ready sent out interviews for painting)
RISD
UMass Amherst 
University of Oregon
University of Washington
 

Also, I am currently finishing undergrad at Pratt Institute. If anyone has questions about the school I'd be more than happy to share some info.

I interviewed at Umass Amherst but am waiting to hear back, and, to my knowledge, we are all waiting to hear from University of Oregon.

Does anyone know when University of Delaware sends out interview invitations? Or maybe they have already been sent? Their deadline was on 2/15 so it’s probs going to take a bit longer. 

They seem to do it early. I know someone who got their UDel acceptance a few hours ago via email, plus all of the three GrdCafe results show notifications going out within a week or so after 2/15, assuming the deadline has stayed static.

Best of luck to you!

Edit: Also, there was no interview.
