I know they interview in February and am anxiously waiting to see if I'll get a call/email for an interview. Any leads would be much appreciated! I only applied to Stanford--I couldn't really afford to apply elsewhere, so I might as well aim for the stars! Hi, I applied to Stanford too. No leads though, sorry Haven't heard from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SocialKonstruct Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Anyone know whether the Yale Interdiscliplinary program is built mostly for film/video artists or also for folks who mix up photography/sculpture or installation work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethebridge Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Just heard from SVA for an interview on Jan 28th! It will be my first interview for application to MFA so kinda nervous rn...

I checked their site. It looks like there is no interdisciplinary program MFA. Or is that not what you meant? That section of the site only talks about certain courses that they offer, specifically in video. Edited January 22, 2020 by SpillToBuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the MFA Freak Out forums from the past couple years, I think Hunter usually sends out a first wave of rejection emails sometime between February 5th and 10th, and then they send out interview requests sometime between February 10th and 15th. I think interviews are conducted in early March. (I also read in the forum from a couple years back that, if you are asked to interview, they might ask you to bring printouts of your submitted portfolio (8 x 10" max), and an optional additional 10 printouts of artwork you've made in recent months.)

atb Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hey. I'm Akeylah. I'd like to trade experiences and knowledge with everyone. Anyone. It'd be nice to make friends as well!

Especially in the photography department the reputation is that they prefer to destroy their students and then build them back up. Someone who was accepted into the photo department at Yale started working in drawings and they asked them to leave. I have heard that Yale painting has started to be better ...for example, they just hired Meleko Mokgosi who doesn't really work in a top-down pedagogical model (or so I've heard). The rumor is that many yale students graduate and it takes years for them to make work again after being so demoralized. Meleko was my undergraduate advisor when I was at NYU Gallatin! He is very thoughtful and radical in his pedagogy and had a huge impact on my experience. It's been hard to stay in touch with him since graduating, but I really enjoyed working with and learning from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbh Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Invited for a Skype interview with University of Arkansas next week. I picked Drawing as my first choice of concentration, which seems like one of the smaller concentrations so I'm thinking the departments are probably on different timelines. atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is definitely still at the school. I spoke with one of my current professors about transferring into UCLA's Interdisciplinary Studio and he told me not to because Andrea Fraser is no longer teaching in that area of study. I haven't seen or heard this info anywhere else but my professor graduated from UCLA's MFA and keeps in touch with their program regularly.

MellonHead Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi! Also joining this thread really late: I applied to a bunch of programs (really trying to get going this coming year): U Chicago (Invited for Interview), SAIC, Uof Illinois Urbana-Champaign, STAMPS, VCU, Carnegie Mellon, Pratt, Hunter, UPenn, and Temple (Invited for Interview). Does anyone know when most invitations for interviews go out? I'm just kind of nervously checking my inbox every day ? pollypocket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to ask if anyone knows about their MFA program? It’s my #1! Pretty devo not to get an interview this round. I totally wrecked the first one though. Too nervous because I wanted it too much The interview was pretty much a whole day affair, including a lunch with prospective students and the faculty, a tour, crits and a 20 min interview with 2 faculty and one current MFA student. They asked me what I’d been doing since my BFA, and then some q’s specific to my practice. According to a current student, last years intake included 4 students that attended the interviews in person and 4 that Skyped in. Let me know if you need anything else. Good luck!

But I interviewed for the Rinehart school of sculpture. The director for Mount Royal though is amazing and also friendly! So don't freak out so much. He does have a bit of an accent so it can be hard to understand him at times. But I'm sure you're going to do amazing! Just remember to breathe Thank you! Seems this year isn't the director Luca who gonna conduct the interview, its one of the artists in residence.

My account is pretty new and every 3 days or so after the deadline there's a couple views averaging 50% ... I can't really see who it was or what video specifically but I think it would be safe so say it's them!

Jaux Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) As a heads up, Pratt has moved their admissions date for Fall 2020 back twice now - Once from Jan 5th, to the 20th, now to the 27th. (So if anyone wanted to apply there, it's still open.) Edited January 23, 2020 by Jauxiles nbh and Pye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
