artapplicant Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 what department did you apply to? i applied to painting/printmaking at yale and i dont see any update on the portal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrambledmegs Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I applied to painting and also have an interview at Yale. I received no email but checked my portal. I’m shocked because SAIC outright rejected me referring me instead to interview with their post bacc program (which in fairness makes some kind of sense because I’m a 23 year old waitress with a bachelors of science) ?

katfude Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Does anyone understand the financial aid component at this point in the game? If you have an interview/interviews at some schools should you complete the FASFA now? Or do you wait until you have a formal acceptance letter? I do not want to wait too long, but every school has a different timeline for when you find out if you are accepted or not. I also have no idea if I will be accepted anywhere, and it seems silly to preemptively submit for schools that I am still unsure if they will give me an offer.

I think you should do it now to get it out of the way if you can.

I also have no idea if I will be accepted anywhere, and it seems silly to preemptively submit for schools that I am still unsure if they will give me an offer. each school has deadlines for FAFSA and most recommend you submit according to that deadline, often before a decision is made about your admission to the program. Schools have a limited amount of financial aid they can give out and if you apply after the deadline they provide you will not be given priority. They may even run out of funding, regardless of your need. Once you've filled out the FAFSA form it becomes quite easy to add the schools (I believe you can add up to 10) I would recommend to apply as soon as possible!

Some schools aren't going to send their interview requests until weeks from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand from the school's info sessions, you should do the FASFA now and send it to all of the schools that you are applying for. Once you have online form filled out, there's a pulldown menu for adding the schools. I don't think there's a problem with preemptively submitting. Doing so now means not having to do go back to the FASFA again, scramble to do so once you have an invitation from them, or worry about missing a deadline. People please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks. piers2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
