I’m hoping to apply this round, if I can get a more succinct portfolio together, in time. I have a BFA in drawing/printmaking and I’m looking mostly at MFA printmaking programs. I wish there were more programs out there for drawing, truthfully, but printmaking has such a rich history and community, and I know it will push me out of my comfort zone, more than drawing or painting would. I was waitlisted for RISD printmaking in 2019, so it’s still my top contender, but I’m also looking at: Rutgers MICA SUNY New Paltz Tyler VCU SAIC Cranbrook Yale UW and Syracuse If I’m honest, I’m picky about location and definitely worried about financials. I’d prefer to stay East Coast (I live in Upstate NY), but also open to change. My biggest hurdle right now is not having access to a print studio/press! Portfolio is obviously the biggest aspect of the app process and I definitely need to get some fresh work done, but time is not on my side, so we will see. If you want east coast with good funding, there is also University of Delaware and I think UMD. The-Fourth-Dimension and Brittany0Kay 2
katfude5 Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 2 hours ago, SpillToBuilt said: Look up artists you like and other successful artists—read their statements and see how they talk about their work. Figure out where you fit in and whose work you align with, then go from there. You could also look up alumni from your choice schools and find their statements. This is easy enough since most artists have their artist statement on their website, not that this is totally necessary though. Thanks for the tips, but I’m specifically curious about statements tailored for applications, not general artist statements The-Fourth-Dimension and SocialKonstruct 1 1

I've been fine tuning the same statement for months now, but have rewritten it so many times it looks like a blob of words at this point. It would be so helpful to read successful statements that other people have written to get into competitive schools, but I'm at a loss of how to find them. We should normalize sharing successful statements. Happy to read it over as well. For me, a good statement shows who you are as a person and your reason for going to school. Your work should reflect that vision and professors should be envisioning ways in which your work could blossom from your statement. The-Fourth-Dimension 1

Killerdonuts Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Hi everyone! I am a first year MFA student at Tyler (painting) and identify as disabled (autistic and have fibromyalgia.) If anyone out there is thinking of applying to Tyler and/or identifies as disabled, I'm happy to answer questions or share my experience so far. Tyler is a GREAT program, but I've definitely encountered some barriers. I'm also the only person in the MFA program who is directly working with themes related to disability identity and culture - though there is A LOT of diversity in the program related to race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality (both among the students and faculty) which is fantastic! Anyway, I want to be available to support any other disabled folks out there, whether you're applying to Tyler or another program, I'm happy to share my experience and try to be helpful. Feel free to send me a message or reply here. (Also happy to answer general questions about the MFA program at Tyler, and the application process. ☺️) Strawberrycat and The-Fourth-Dimension 2
The-Fourth-Dimension Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Sup art PEEEEEEEPS??? I see a few artists here that were on the 2021 FOF thread. Hello, again! It's fantastic to see artists applying for MFA's. I applied for the fall 2021 MFA season at only one school and I got into the exact program I wanted, but it is far too costly for me right now. I decided to take a deferral to fall 2022 in order to save money, but I'm seeing that it might still end up being prohibitively expensive. I am currently applying to more reasonably priced institutions, and I'm applying early this time instead of at the last minute. I received my Bachelors in Fine Art, (concentration in sculpture), from the California State University, Sacramento. Grew up in San Diego, but currently reside in Sacramento. I'm primarily interested in sculpture but I also paint and am very into New Media, digital design, MAX 8, TouchDesigner, Processing 4, and Pure Data. The reason I'm working for an MFA is because I want to teach artwork in historically disadvantaged neighborhoods, and also at the university level. I am applying to: University of California, Berkeley University of California, Los Angeles University of California, San Diego San Diego State University Stanford Maybe a couple of others... Good luck this round, and love to everyone! I hope you all get into the programs you want and deserve.

You're the one who let me know that USC doesn't give full funding foe an MFA. That bummed me out SO bad. I did end up getting admitted to USC Roski. It surprised me because it's the only program I'd applied to and I was super sick for my interview. But the financial/economic cost was just too high, like stratospherically high and completely outside of reason. I tried as hard as I could to justify going to USC because the MFA studios are in SUCH a great place in LA that I'm very familiar with. All the gear you get to work on is new and rad. Plus I really want to work with every one of those professors, especially Nao and Jennifer. I just couldn't. Stanford is more generous with funding, from what I gather. Same with the UC's. Even if I didn't get any kind of funding from the UC it would still be cheaper to get an MFA by hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm gonna hit up the Stanford session, tomorrow. Thank you again for the information, G.

A lot of my work is related to learning disabilities, and after my interview/presentation a current student who also had dyslexia ect. reached out to me to say that they were really struggling with how unsupportive of an environment it was to have a learning disability and interact with the rigid faculty and curriculum.

Good advice, and thank you! UC Santa Barbara is really beautiful, but I'm trying to say in dense metro areas. It's why I'm applying to Berkeley, UCLA, etc... The reality is that if I get into SDSU, I'll probably just take that and move back home to San Diego, because Sacramento is not really the place to be. UCI might be cool, but I'm not at ALL a fan of Orange County after the past 5 years. Two of my old pals went to UCI and lived in Newport, back in the day and I'd go visit from San Diego and stay in their apt. Non-stop party. Good old days indeed. The Bay Area is pretty expensive, but if I got into Stanford or Berkeley I'd move there in a hot second. I've seen lots of people applying to fine arts universities that are considered to be good schools, but if the school isn't near or around areas with a lot of people and movement then I don't really see the point of studying there for an MFA, since an MFA education is about experimentation and expanding your own knowledge on your own. I get that other applicants see it differently, and I respect that. If I remember, you got into USC, as well, yeah? Was it the cost, too? Congratulations to you, also! I don't think any of the USC admits from the 2021 FOF thread accepted admission to Roski. It kind of makes me think that the people ending up accepting admission were way down the line and second best. USC needs to do better in terms of funding if they want good artists.

That's fair to want to be in a place like that, but yeah, everyone has their own reasoning and goals for an MFA so different places work for different people. Yeah, I couldn't afford the cost even with a generous fellowship offer, unfortunately. I think that if USC were able to offer more funding, it would make it way more accessible to a lot of great artists from lower incomes who fear that kind of extreme debt $$$. But with that said, their current cohort has some pretty stellar artists who I would have been honored to work with, whether they were their first round picks or not. Initial choices for admission are made for a lot of different reasons and respectfully, I wouldn't call all of the people who get in from any waitlist second best. I don't know where to find it again, but I read a blog post before that was written by someone in an mfa program who was doubting themselves and basically asked one of the professors why they were chosen for the program and if they were really one of the best painters who applied and the professor told them something along the lines of: No, they weren't one of the best painters, and that they weren't even looking for the best painters, they were looking for who they could see the most potential growth for. That really stood out to me and I try to remember it when I receive both acceptances and rejections now. The-Fourth-Dimension 1

(I like your name because I'm one of those crazy cat people that if I was rich I would live in a giant home filled only with stinky cats.) But you're right, and I feel stupid for making that "second best" comment. This past year of writing applications has messed around with my head and made me question so many things in art as to whether or not I even want to be in an art world with so many superficial critics and non-artists that I already deal with on a weekly basis, instead of just being an independent artist, which I enjoy. I've never really felt as jaded as I do right now about the art world until I felt like I was in competition with other decent artists for an MFA program that so many of us are worthy of being in. It isn't healthy. As a matter of fact, It's actively unhealthy. I've read up a lot on the MFA selection process and have spoken to legit friends of mine who are professors at the university level, (I'm an older student, NOT THAT MUCH OLDER,THO)!!! From what I can tell, the faculty tends to want to cultivate a candidate that makes the department look good, or elevated, or seem social justice oriented. They want people who can shock, or be politically obnoxious, or be rock-stars, because the fact of the matter is that skilled artists aren't special and are a dime a dozen. MFA programs seem to want the "bleeding edge," in lieu of competent creatives. From my perspective, a lot of the art coming from the MFA programs at "good schools" is so phony, especially with Postmodernism still being all trendy after so many decades. Like, I've noticed that TONS of these art professors don't even create anything I consider to be artistic, and what they DO create reminds me of the mentality of that kid named Malachi who sat in the back of the class, ate paste, and picked his scabs just to be annoying. Everything is art, right? Or... nothing is art or some boring hidden riddle. "Oh look, I just threw a bunch of rubbish in the corner to make an artistic statement." Dumb, boring, and tired. The Fluxus already did that in the 60s, and the Dada before that... Everyone's done it. I'd like to see artistic exceptionalism in more schools, like the Greeks did, instead of "experimentation." That should be done in the garage at home when I'm drunk. (AGAIN, not criticizing others, just making clear what I'm about). I love ALL art, period. I'm already successful at art, it's how I pay my bills and what I do. I don't need an MFA to create things or to make money or be on the bleeding edge. What I want to do the MOST, is to earn a degree from a big-shot institution so I can teach at a Chicano or inner-city school to thug kids like I was at their age as so they can get down with someone who came from the varrio, got in trouble, but still went on to do big things. I want youth to do it for themselves and their families. I want to be the dude that young creative punks can identify with and be artistic with, instead of messing up on the street and getting in trouble. The funding they were offering at USC for NON-fellowship people wasn't even existent for the first year. Nothing at all. I didn't know we needed to apply for several programs to be competitive, so I only applied to where I wanted to go, USC. But the funding even sucks for fellowship people??? Yeeesh... That's super lame because the endowment per year for USC is like seven billion... SEVEN BILLION... $7,000,000,000... A seven followed by NINE ZEROS, dollars... SEVEN TOIUSAND MILLIONS!!! Yet they can't commit to giving MFA candidates a decent tuition boost? Something is very seriously wrong with that, and I'm really sorry that they didn't hook you up because it seems like you deserved it. I bet you a cool ONE HUNDRED pesos that you get the program you want, this round. I hope you do! ?

Unfortunately I have encountered a fair amount to ableist stuff, but it's the type of ableism born out of inexperience (which is not an excuse, just to say that it isn't intentional or overt.) I think you will sadly have that issue in any program since it's so baked into the foundation of MFA programs and academia in general. However, I have a critique class with the chair of sculpture (who is also going to be on my MFA committee) and she is absolutely great! She really engaged, thoughtful, and understanding. While it's completely an unfair burden to put on disabled students, I don't think a lot of the foundational issues will change until we make ourselves known in the programs. For example, I'm aiming to have image descriptions, an audio tours, plenty of seating, and maybe even a touch tour for my MFA exhibition. (We'll see what I can manage to pull together.) Anyway, if you're thinking of reconsidering Tyler this year, I'd be happy to give you some more information about the program, and some specifics about where I have encountered challenges. Also, you might also consider Hunter - there's a least one faculty there who identifies as Disabled - Tina Zavitsanos. She's great! The-Fourth-Dimension 1

People can check the website themselves to see that the GC is half empty. I definitely didn't intend to be aggressive or something was just following the example of a Columbia student in 2020 making an account to let applicants know that Columbia was kicking students out of their studios etc...bc the school wasn't being transparent. I would delete my posts but you can't delete things on the forum so they will have to stay up.
