VCU's MFA Sculpture interview was yesterday? Painting was 2/11. I think I am rejected maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidaLizard Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I got an acceptance from Alfred Sculpture but they want a response by Monday and I am still waiting for responses from UT Austin and VCU Sculpture. I interviewed for both and the interviews went well but I won't hear back from VCU until 1-2 weeks form now and who knows what is going on in Austin since they were dealing with the storm and chaos... Anyone have any advice? Is it okay to ask Alfred for more time to decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they’re accepting 11 students total for the MFA program this year with 1-2 per department depending on funding availability. Congratulations on the interview! That sounds about right. I haven’t had an interview so I think it’s about time I focus on the other schools. I wish you the best! aniben3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I don't think I'll get into UCLA. And for anyone looking into PNCA and PSU, I was accepted into PSU and had an interview for PNCA last Friday. I live in Portland and they're my backups. I only applied to these four schools. Buena suerte, hsag. I love your work. I don't have any doubt you'll be accepted into UCLA. hsag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what makes you think you will not get into UCLA if they don't interview everybody? (I know that having an interview is always a good sign, but I feel like I'm pushing for the optimistic side of things...) Did you also apply for Interdisciplinary/New Genres? I haven't been interviewed by them, so I'm praying for us to be finalists without interview... Best of luck for the Columbia interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll be giving news soon. I’m afraid I might get that frustrating call as well. Still waiting on printmaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied my first year out of school, and got waitlisted to a few places. I was upset at the time, but looking back I’m so thankful I didn’t. My work has changed so completely in a 3 year span that I really know what I want from an MFA program. I admit that my life story is going to be the craziest one possible :D...

Popopopo Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Just out of curiosity, how many times have you applied for MFA? Did you applied to the same school more than once? I know we should never make our works simply for getting in, we create for ourselves, but of course the recognition from others will be such a delight, so I wish you all the best and the acceptance from your dream schools!
