MFA 2020 Freak Out Forum

[AFL]

I’m curious too. I’ve heard nothing from Columbia School of Arts Painting nor Bard Painting...I assume by end of next week would be the latest for interview requests. 

Has anyone received a Columbia invite yet?

Is UCLA going to break my heart on Valentine's Day? That's gonna be double whammy for me

I also applied for Bard painting and haven't heard anything yet! Hope that every department has different timing cuz this has freaked me out....

 

I applied for Bard painting and got an interview invite last night. I think all departments interview on the same day.

The only school I haven’t heard from is UCLA so I’m thinking it’s a no from them.

I will also be interviewing with Bard photo. Good luck to both of us. I've heard that they accept between 3 people and 7 people. 

Congratulations and good luck! Are you going up or doing Skype?

A friend of mine got an interview invite via e-mail on February 17th for photo last year... I think Columbia interview e-mails go out the latest (at least for photo) but this is really mostly a guess.

Hey all!  I know ive seen it before but can't seem to find it -  a list of potential interview questions? Just got notice of an interview at MICA - really wanting to impress!

So I've got my interview with SAIC this weekend, and I was told via email that we will talk about 2-3 of my best pieces & the conceptual / material framework, influences, and what I want from grad school.
For any of y'all that know SAIC, do you know if we get to choose what we think are our 2-3 best pieces, or is it something they're going to choose? Because if I get to choose, we are good to go. (Also, if anyone was interested in the SAIC interview content, apparently this is it and it's only 20 minutes.)

Fiber! But I think the discussing of work is pretty standard across all areas from what other people have said for SAIC.

Pratt interview request came in. 

Still waiting for RISD.

Hi! I have a MICA MFA Graphic Design skype interview lined up next week. Would be really helpful to know from someone who has given one about the kind of questions they will potentially ask? Thank you!

Columbia photography sent out interview e-mails this morning! The date is March 5. 

[XSX]

Has anyone heard back from University of Oregon, University of Washington Seattle, or SMU Meadows?

Other schools I applied to are UT Austin (already had my interview and am awaiting response), RISD (interview later this month), and UCLA (which apparently no one has heard back from, from what I've read)

Has anyone received an interview request for SAIC's Low-residency program? Does SAIC always offer interviews to successful applicants in each program (as in, should I be worried if I haven't heard back by now?)

[HydroHydra]

Anyone heard specifically from:
 

VCU sculpture

Hunter sculpture

Columbia painting 

.... I know these programs have already requested interviews for other departments but don’t know if they roll in unison. 

[joethebridge]

Called RISD and they said they don’t invite all the admitted students to interview...which means that if you haven’t heard back from them there’s still chance!
