From the email, it sounds like this will be much like a common interview - just an opportunity for them to learn about my background and interests in the field. I've also prepared some work to show over Zoom in case they want to see. Hope all goes well for us! greentea2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with all the VCU interviews I've seen on this forum I don't know if any of them have been with the painting/printmaking department. I interviewed for painting… but I suppose if someone heard back, I’m rejected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itty Bitty Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Hi All, I have applied to the Lo Res MFA programs in Fine Arts / Interdisicplinary at SAIC, MICA, Mass Art and Bard. I was accepted at SAIC, and interviewed at MICa and MassArt. I am leaning towards SAIC and MICA. Does any one have any feelings or know the reputation of any of these schools, specifically SAIC and MICA? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank14 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Just got an email from SFSU, waitlisted for Painting after interviewing this past Wednesday. They said they'd let me know if my waitlist status changes by April 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interview was the first week of February. I guess I’m just waiting to see what and where we are at. Im hoping my tour with the Printmaking head will give me some insight as to where I am and where the university is with acceptances. fingers crossed for all of us!

I interviewed in January too for painting and had been hoping the delay in response was so they figured out funding across all programs. Alas. I’ll keep my fingers crossed until I hear from them but my hope is fading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentea2 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) How many people realistically don't attend a program due to lack of funding? I really don't want to take out over $90K in loans. Being admitted to an MFA program is something I've always dreamed of but as I'm putting pen to paper, it's becoming less of a reality to me due to the finances. Are most people willing to go into debt for an MFA Program? How are people feeling about funding? Edited March 9, 2022 by greentea2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being admitted to an MFA program is something I've always dreamed of but as I'm putting pen to paper, it's becoming less of a reality to me due to the finances. Are most people willing to go into debt for an MFA Program? How are people feeling about funding? It was very difficult, but I turned down admission last year due to the cost and decided to apply again this year to try to get better funding elsewhere. I can't justify burying myself under $90k+ in debt (plus future interest that grows at a frightening rate with numbers that high, even with low rates) for a degree that realistically doesn't guarantee financial stability. I just know that I personally wouldn't be able to focus on my work and learning with those kinds of loans on my mind constantly. Everyone's situation is different though. I am not financially stable now and come from a low income background, so I can't help but think about the repercussions of loans. My tuition was fully funded in undergrad, but I took out loans to cover my housing expenses, and I still have a good amount left to pay back 6 years later. So imagining taking out that much in loans for just tuition makes me feel hopeless. However, it was pointed out to me by some professors that student loans have low interest rates compared to other types of loans and they have payment plans and options available, and hopefully there is some more reform coming for them, so they are not the scariest thing in the world and can be super useful if taken out wisely. But things to think about are that having a huge amount of debt compared to whatever your income is can make getting loans for a car or house or even just opening credit cards difficult in the future if you ever find yourself wanting to or needing to. Tldr; I'm scared of loans personally, but they make sense for some people and situations if they can reconcile them. eatyoveggies and katfude5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
