I applied in graphic design. They say they will have interview and the final decision will be made at the beginning of March. Idk anyone who received an interview email...bc there are less people who applied for UF, I think most of them go to FSU. I just think it is not a good sign for me...which is i still didn't received their interview at the end of Feb...anyways, crossed fingures for us and wish both of us a good luck!!

DawkT Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 This morning I got a rejection letter through email from my #1 school, UNL, super bummed. Then later, I got a phone call at work today that came up as "Scam Likely," I picked it up because I've been so anxious to hear from a grad school and it was a call from Boise State telling me I was accepted! What a happy little coincidence. Answer all of your spam calls! On another note to those who are accepted, school are notorious for pressuring potential grad students into accepting soon, typically within a week. You are not obligated to make a decision until April 15th. I would do all communicating through email so that you have a paper trail.

They notified me that every medium only accepts 1 student and the program is extremely research-based. So good luck!! Thank you. Oh wow! that's quite competitive, I didn't know that. It means I should keep my hopes low What are your thoughts about their MFA program work quality? 709 LurkerA2V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also, some schools are not a part of the April 15th resolution so that might not be accurate for everyone.

artstudent555 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) hey everyone! I am late on this thread, I am sure everyone is on the same boat with this waiting game... :S I only applied to northwestern and Yale, did the interview and now just waiting. Has anyone else who also interviewed at northwestern heard anything back yet, I feel like we should hear any day now. Has there been any follow up?

Anyone have experience in successful negotiations in the past? Thanks!! I would also love advice on this for RISD specifically. I sent an email to my discipline's graduate program director early this week and still haven't heard back yet ? I just articulated that I would love to to go to RISD, but that my current financial package puts me in a difficult place to do, particularly in comparison to how much more I've been offered by other programs.

seelamfa22 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 14 hours ago, HJAn said: Sure. I was offered about half of the tuition cost for both years + 5k TA position (I think someone else on this forum mentioned this as well). Does anyone have advice on how to negotiate for more? Anyone have experience in successful negotiations in the past? Thanks!! I would probably reply to the offer by saying specific things about the program that I love, how much I want to attend, and then ask if there is an appeals process to receive more financial aid. Asking for an appeals process before mentioning my offers from other schools just seems more friendly to me, but I don’t know. I know a couple people who have tried negotiating with RISD, but it didn’t work, and they ended up withdrawing. This may change year to year of course.

minidragonfly Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hi all, I just discovered this forum recently and wish I had seen it before even starting the application process. So much great advice (it's my first year applying, and I didn't decide until December that I would be trying to go to grad school so I had to scramble... I was only in my undergrad program for 2 years due to a change of major so I feel like an outsider/newbie/totally lost sometimes in the art academia world and grad school process). Mostly deciding to comment to say I was invited to interview with Pratt printmaking today, hopefully this is helpful for someone to know. It looks like it's going to be with two faculty interviewers. I'm super nervous... It's my second interview. My first was with SVA which went really well, and I was subsequently accepted into their Fine Arts program. My preference would be a printmaking specific program... but a school with a robust printmaking department could be alright. My work is sculptural and interdisciplinary but I fully ID as a printmaker and would like to focus on that and eventually teach printmaking. I haven't heard anything from my top picks (RISD, VCU, Tyler...) so I'm assuming that's a rejection at this point. Does anyone have any insight into Pratt as a school for printmaking?
