Has anyone interviewed for the Pratt painting MFA? If so how long did it go? Mine was very short, just wondering if that's normal. 

I did a few weeks ago, I think it was around 15-20 mins maybe

Congrats! Mine is at 16:30! Right after you!! Good luck!

You too! Are you going to the campus? 

[rowrow]

Anyone heard from Tulane for painting yet? 

[Popopopopopart]

Does anyone know when we’re going to be notified from Yale Painting/printmaking following the interview? I saw in the past it was typically the Friday following, which was last Friday and haven’t had a status update yet.

I applied, according to one of my undergrad instructors Purchase has a ton of amazing faculty members and you're close enough to take advantage of the NYC art scene while also having the option to not constantly be in the city.

Cool! Are you going to Purchase for the interview? Or did you do it through Skype?

Me neither, wish I could visit it in person. I heard the interview is tough...so the questions might be helpful.

Hi @pollypocket,

Thank you!

I'm still waiting on the word on the details of funding. I haven't been able to find much information from others when searching on these forums - according to USF's website it says 6k - 10k. I am definitely hoping for more. My friend was accepted to the UF program in Gainesville and she will be receiving 16k in funding and I have another friend currently attending UNC Chapel Hill who has 20k+ in funding.

Is USF one of your top choices?

Best of luck with you!

Hi @Hinata,

Yes its one of my top choices!

fingers crossed we get good funding offers.

I have no idea about painting specifically, but I work at Tulane, and my friend who got her MFA there was saying that you should absolutely reach out if you haven't heard anything. (sadly enough they've lost grad students because they've forgotten to tell them they're accepted)

[willow j]

Have any UCLA painting applicants heard anything or seen your application status change online?

Haven’t heard anything. I heard that the painting program doesn’t even do interviews. They just call the people they want to accept and do a brief chat...

[SLSq]

Anyone still waiting on UIC, UNCG, or UB?

Just got an offer from MIT SMACT program..

Hey guys, so I'm kind of confused over SAIC's merit scholarships? I got admitted to FVNMA and Performance but there wasn't any information regarding whether or not I got one? I think they might send an offer separately? I'm kind of worried because in their website it says: " If awarded, students will be notified by a separate letter in their admission packet." Is that the blue envelope they've been talking about or should it have been inside the first envelope with the admission letter?

So I've been lurking on here for a few weeks, and I noticed there isn't a new freak out forum!

I primarily make work in photography. I received my BA in film production in 2018, and now I'm looking for a Photography MFA. I'm doing my best to find full funding as I don't have parents/money/etc. 

Here are my top schools I would like to apply/attend:

University of South Florida

The University of Texas at Austin

Georgia State University

University of Georgia

 

(Other choices: Iowa, U of M, UNC Chapel Hill, OSU)

 

If anyone knows anything about those four tops school, I would be grateful to know more!

 

~*FREAK OUT*~

Have you heard back from GSU? 

[Andyarthol]

Has anyone heard back from Boise State?

I received my first packet in the mail last night and yeah, like you said, I didn't get another envelope either. (It was a yellow envelope too, so...) However, I was told that I'd be receiving one (TA position), so I think it takes a bit longer to put together the financial information. My email said this: A formal letter outlining all of the details of your admission will be quickly forthcoming, including info on Financial Aid. These will come in separate envelopes. 

My assumption is that it's just not here yet, but you could always ask your admissions counselor?

I received rejections from a few of the schools I've applied for.. still waiting on the following places to answer:

Edinboro - emailed me last week to ask if I'm still interested in the program

Syracuse - Interviewed on Feb 21 via Skype

CCA - Interviewed on Feb 21 via Skype.

Anyone heard from these three schools?
