Do they fund students well like Yale or...? From conversations with current/recently graduated Columbia MFAs my understanding is that printmaking has great funding but the other disciplines have terrible funding. 1 student in painting receives full tuition. I've never heard gossip of anyone in photo, new genres, or video receiving full funding. The rumor is that the dean carol becker views the school of the arts MFA as a money maker for Columbia. Faculty have told me that before dean becker there used to be way more scholarships and funding. Edited March 4, 2021 by theundoing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia just updated its student list to show who is attending the current iteration at their MFA program: https://arts.columbia.edu/visual-arts/students wow . 100% of their painters (with linked websites) for 2022 are representational . totally shocking.

How do you guys answer the interview questions when they ask why art when a degree in science? I mainly got a degree in science bc I knew MFA programs didn’t require art degrees so I could get a decent job after graduating and save enough money for art school. Hmmm I would definitely not say that LOL Do you LIKE science? Does it inform your artwork at all? Those are the things I would tie in. Or I would talk about how you've always liked art or been an artist (if thats the case, it sounds liek you wanted to go to art school) and then talk about how you got to science. I think science and art can be intertwined so they may just be interested in how you got where you are and how the two interests may feed off each other.

(In the handbook that the chair sent the accepted applicants there should be a link to it) Hey, I did not, I had no clue there were departmental scholarships, I received a pdf with my acceptance regarding scholarships to apply for but that's about it. I hope I didn't miss my shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dramallama_07 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Just now, CMCM said: No, it was for a MFA in Design Well idk if this will be of help but I did talk to a current student at fine arts and he said that most acceptances in the fine arts Dept come around mid- March along w financial letters. Although I got my acceptance way earlier in mid Feb which I assume was a sort of early acceptance. Maybe you could've received one of these early acceptances too. And maybe, just like me, you should too wait a bit before they send financial letters later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you- I definitely need to do that. I’ve always wanted to do art but somehow just loved science and wanted to get a BS in that field because I knew I wouldn’t be pursuing it so might as well go into the STEM field during undergrad.

zoopsia Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Just did a search here on UCLA applicants, seems like a lot of new/genres and sculpture people heard from the school in February. I have not heard from them on my application for good or bad. Are people getting rejection emails? I'm also waiting on Columbia. I do have an interview at Pratt on Tuesday. rejected: Yale, RISD, Hunter interviewed: Parsons, Pratt waiting: UCLA, Columbia Edited March 4, 2021 by zoopsia more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
