Anyone know what we're in for, or what the interviews are like? I'm interviewing for sculpture on the 26th too! I I interview at 9:30am, maybe we could meet up after? Anyone else have an interview on the 26th and want to get together? I really want to tour the facilities but I'm not sure if that's a possibility since the whole sculpture department will be occupied with interviews.

MikeM77 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 How’s everyone preparing for the interview next week? I have to admit I’m a little bit nervous as I’m still waiting for my portfolio that’s been shipped from Europe almost ten days ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpillToBuilt Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 FYI, two Yale MFA grads that I know said a lot of people cry at their first crit because they tend to get mauled. Well, actually she said “everyone” cries, but I feel like that has to be an exaggeration. So have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsixteen Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hey guys! I'm usually active in the 'MFA 2019 freak out forum'. I saw this one and thought I'd chime in: I just finished my interview with Yale. It went really well... and in my experience when interviews go really well, one usually doesn't get in. It was just really friendly, definitely not what I was expecting at all. I was prepared for it to go horribly wrong ? My SAIC interview went wrong and I ended up getting in there. So for those who think it went wrong, I'm sure that's a really good sign ? Good luck to everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsixteen Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think on March 5th there will be the final jurying of the committee and then we should be notified by March 9th MikeM77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBarnOwl Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 A question for those that thought their interviews didn't go well, may I ask what makes you feel that? Was it that the interviewers seemed antagonistic towards your work, or that they seemed checked out or disinterested, or that they posed questions that you didn't have the answers to? Conversely I felt like I prepared a litany of names of faculty I'd be excited to work with, contemporary artists I'm looking at, fiction and art theory I've been reading etc and we didn't really touch on any of that. It truly was just a conversation about my work. I applied for painting btw- so my physical work was hanging in the room.Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianna_1993 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi all! New to this forum! I'm a first time Yale applicant and had my interview this past week. I've been accepted to all my other schools and since one school is full tuition they're pushing me to make a decision by the 9th of March (yikes!!) so they can know if the funding should go to me or someone who will attend. My yale interview was on the 27th and I was just wondering in other people's Yale experience if they heard by the 9th and if I can bank on that? I know I'm cutting it close I just want to know since Yale in my first choice. Also they notify us through the online application portal correct? I'm totally freaking out so all logic is out the window and a friend who also applied previously is totally convinced they send out letters rather than update the portal. I'm pretty sure he's wrong but I gotta triple check ? I'm so nervous and this form has helped me a lot through the application freak out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on previous years we should find out on Friday which is March 8. They'll notify you in the same way as the interview notification (the portal).
