I applied to: UCLA (New Genres w/ Interdisciplinary studio as my back up) - no word yet USC (this is an interdisciplinary program) - no word yet Yale (Sculpture) - no word yet Berkeley (this is an intermediary program) - I interviewed last week. Still no word back. This is my #1 choice, so I'm so nervous to hear back! hht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible way to find out, but it helped me move on faster. This was mentioned the last few years forums as a method to know your status since their communication isn't super speedy.

Im just a little confused by this because of course I submitted my application over a month ago. I received a confirmation email on Jan 11th. Nothing heard from them since then.

On Slideroom - I applied in 2018 and did not get an interview, and the MFA disappeared around the time the interviews went out. This year I got an interview and the MFA is still there. I am attaching a screenshot... It is not a nice way to find out indeed, but if you need to make some decisions by a certain date it's good to have closure, or at least it was good for me at the time. Since I am on the topic I should note I am glad I waited and re-applied. This year it was so much easier to navigate applications and interviews and to wrap my head around the decision I am about to make when it's not my first application season. Happy to answer questions about this to the best of my ability. hht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently attending for undergrad, I know some departments have def made decisions for interviews, not completely sure if they've reached out yet (this was recent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAPA Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I was wondering if anyone can speak to visiting a school for an in-person interview vs. doing it over Skype? I got an interview request that claimed that this decision did not impact their final decision, but this school is my top choice and I feel like meeting with faculty/grad students in person may be more memorable or relay a degree of commitment. Another benefit is that I would get to visit the area and get a better feel for the facilities. However, I would have to miss a few days of class (still in undergrad) and drop some serious money.... does it make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isabellhk Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I had asked a school whether they conduct interviews before making a final decision. And one of the professors replied saying that they will make the decision soon but they can set up something for me to ask questions if I want to... do you think this is a good sign?

I was losing hope and still not super hopeful since I haven't heard back from them and know that they tend to move quickly. I was in communications specifically with Sculpture. He did say they're having all of the finalists over to interview the weekend of the 23rd, but didn't say if it was only sculpture or if it was others as well.
