As decisions start rolling in, I wanted to hear people's thoughts on different Sculpture MFA programs. I haven't heard back from most of my programs - UCLA, VCU, Carnegie Mellon, UPenn, RISD and Northwestern. I think as of now top contenders for me are UCLA and VCU. Where did everyone else apply to? What are everyone's thoughts on the programs? Hi all Sculpture applicants! I set up a new topic to discuss programs/ interview tips/ etc! Would love to hear people's thoughts on different sculpture programs especially VCU and UCLA Slowly, artcat and Hjuoollpphhfcvn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KougamiAkane Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Anyone who have heard about MICA? I applied for their MFA graphic design program and still didn't received an interview, will that means I will be rejected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowr Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 This might be too specific, but has anyone reached out to SAIC about negotiating funding? I was accepted into their ATS department with ~20% need based funding, but their tuition is super expensive. I was accepted into another program with full funding so I was going to email and try to negotiate, but not sure who I should reach out to--the department, financial services, admissions generally? Does anyone have experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, they gave me a form I filled out where I could petition for more funding. flowr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katfude5 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I think I'm the only one on here applying to boston university (painting and sculpture) so far on the forum, but to anyone else just reading our posts.. the sculpture department said they are meeting this Wednesday to discuss finalists-- and last year both painting and sculpture decisions came out on 3/8.
