I haven't heard anything but also didn't get an interview... *Edit: I tried to quote the comment from above talking about SAIC rejection but it didn't work and now I can't delete this comment. The rejection was through email from Noelle B_Montague 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbh Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Accepted to UArk drawing via phone call! The call was prompted by an email I sent to check in on the progress, so I don’t know if they’ve extended their other drawing offer or announced waitlist etc. ohboyy and MIQI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Montague Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Do schools ever get annoyed when you send emails to check on the application process? Or is it pretty much always ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it pretty much always ok... Just be tactful and feel it out I think... I emailed UArk to ask how many people I was sharing the finalist pool with, but I was really hoping it would result in a progress update. The head of the department that I was in contact with was also really friendly and had been enthusiastic about communicating, so I felt it would be okay. My communications with Tyler, on the other hand, have been kind of cold and I didn't get a response at all to my post-interview "thank you" email... So I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable asking for a status update from them. Thats my 2 cents aniben3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty confident I'll accept UArk's offer after I visit in March. I've fallen in love with their program, professors, current MFA student work, etc... Seems like the program is really blossoming right now and as a Southerner myself that's really exciting. The financial package is unbeatable too... I really didn't think I'd make the cut! janelane2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hht Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Hiya! Congrats to those receiving interview requests for Colombia! For anyone wondering if the 'MFA' being removed from their Slideroom app is a thing, it's been removed from my app in Slideroom today and I have not received an interview request. I applied for New Genres. I guess its a no for me Such a sneaky method, but I feel happy to have another answer.

What were the 1st and 2nd choice schools you referred to? all schools in canada: first western, second york. also got waitlisted by the university of guelph. york has great facilities and really kind faculty members--everyone i talked to at my campus visit there was so nice and the vibe was really good. their funding package was also not bad, but i really can't afford toronto rent and would ideally not want to live with 10 roommates in a basement eating nothing but oatmeal for 2 years... lol...

This is a BIG MOOD, @janelane2, I relate so hard.

Do you know what disciplines are these invitations for? I know all disciplines at Columbia send out their invites at different times. Also, if anyone need to hear back from MIT, the interviews will take place this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG seriously? adfasfasdfsafjljfasj that's hilarious??? There's definitely a trade-off, like, live in a small town? But have a decent standard of living. Vs paying absolutely ridiculous amounts of rent. My part of Hokkaido is incredibly remote, so I'm also ready for a change. I'm trying to go for a happy medium and live in a small city. janelane2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
