The-Fourth-Dimension Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 2 hours ago, Frank14 said: Just got a notification from Cal State SF "Your GPA does not meet the minimum university admission requirement. Please contact the Division of Graduate Studies." My GPA is a 2.95 and I still have 15 credits to complete before I graduate. I have all A's and B's but failed one anthropology class two semesters ago ?♂️. I was hoping I was close enough to the 3.0 requirement that they'd be willing to consider me on the condition my GPA is higher by the time I graduate in May of this year, but I've pretty much lost all hope of acceptance to any programs at this point ??. If you really want to go to SFSU, I'd appeal it. I was denied admission to UC Santa Cruz over some Mickey Mouse thing. Upon appeal I was offered admission to the University of California. Almost everything in academia has an appeal process.

I didn't receive any update yet. WORRIED!!! I am not sure what does this all mean, either they aren't interested in my work or is it slow for international applicants. I know... I just wish there is an update. I have been seeing that many people are receiving interview invitations but many of those schools I haven't heard from. I really hope there is diff. time slot for international students but I don't know. It's an online interview so it shouldn't be?

I have no idea if they do things differently for international students. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but the email did say they reviewed all applications for the program.... Hopefully you'll get some good news soon. Side note: I've been trying to prepare for interview questions and kind of stumped by How does your work fit in with the contemporary art world/scene? Does anyone know how you're supposed to answer this question? Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated! Oh my. Now I am so anxious. Please let there be something, any school. But so happy for you for getting the interview!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed and asked if all interview invitation were sent out to domestic students and international students at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have done better. Where did you see their work? Instagram? I heard their MFA is really cool, a bit more self driven and yet intensive.

On the Hunter MFA website you can browse the current students and filter to show the people in the sculpture concentration, just took another look and there's actually a pretty vast range of the kind of work people are making. I really like the idea of it being a fairly self driven program, I'm used to working on my own but am just craving the community of artists to bounce ideas off of. Should only be another week or two before we hear about interviews based on past forums! I wouldn't worry too much about the essay, if the work intrigues the committee they'll want to talk to you! How important do you people think the vibe of a program is? Are some schools more open to different styles and some schools more stuck in a certain type of work?
