I haven't heard back at all, and I see a few has their results already. Should I email them to double check? I'm in the same boat-- I emailed admissions yesterday to see if I had missed anything but haven't heard back from them.
impliedpaste Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 I just got an interview request from Artcenter tonight which is strange since I feel like it’s been weeks since most of you have interviewed. I wonder if I’m being interviewed for the waitlist? Also I hope this gives some solace to those of you still waiting to hear back… my interview is scheduled for next Tuesday SocialKonstruct 1
reallyfamousartist Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Wellllll- congrats to everyone and your efforts this year! This was my first time round applying to grad school, and it was way more intense than I imagined lol. Wouldn't have been able to do it alone, so thank you. My final list for acceptances: UChicago SAIC MICA Pratt Boston U MassArt CalArts Northwestern 😀 So fortunate to ping-pong stress and positivity with you all. Best of luck! I'm likely heading to Chicago - hmu if you'll be in the area too Edited March 11, 2023 by reallyfamousartist anonymousartstudent, Mutya, cornchip and 7 others 8 2

I have no idea if my priority should be to choose a college which is the most economically feasible or the one which is ranked highly! Is it possible that I know the deadline for accepting your offer to CalArts? I got on the waitlist for CalArts and I wanted to know how long I have to wait for the decision notifications (for the waitlists). I also got accepted to CCA so I’m running out for time to wait. TT

bloopers Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 18 hours ago, SocialKonstruct said: Nope. Same boat and they said a few weeks out. In the same category. So they'll get back to us in late March/early April? Cutting it close w/ the April 15 deadline for most schools.

How do waitlists even work? We all have to pick something on April 15th the latest, maybe not even our first choice right, so what happens if you were waitlisted in a program that is a better suit for you but they notify you after the 15th of april. Can you retract from your inicial acceptance? change your mind after the deadline, in a way? bloopers 1

So I got the official email for Saic for painting on the 2/27. I was called the day before. maybe it’s a department thing or maybe this is how they handle wait list? ( either way I’m sorry, radio silence sucks and they could do better. I feel for you. The week of the 27th I had lost it and started to make a portfolio for next year ) Tag me if you think there’s anything I can answer. Sorry you’re dealing with the wait. Edited March 11, 2023 by E_b

risaurus Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Does anyone have any reviews or insights about Aalto University?
eeeeeeee Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Has anyone gotten news from the Stanford doc program?

borg Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Has anyone heard back from Hunter yet? I know they sent out their decisions on the 11th last year.

RISD painting - Accepted Feb 14. (full ride) Yale Painting/printmaking - Accepted March 4. (waiting for $$) Its my first time going through the Grad school process and I really took my chances with the two schools I saw that best fit my art/personality. I learned a lot and did receive a lot of help and guidance throughout applications. For those in the future who are thinking about applying to Yale, I would deffs say the secondary portfolio (the studies/ what you're working on) is very important and the question how do you see yourself within the Yale community? Feel free to reach out, now that the wait is over my mind is no longer in a blur and am v hopeful for the progression within my practice!!! Congrats to everyone for going through the strenuous application process, it shows a lot of love and care towards your art. Wow congratulations! I heard Yale painting has 2000+ applications. Their admission said is crazily competitive Animapaint 1
Miso Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Was anyone else waitlisted by Northwestern University? If so hit me up

Hope they'd send out results on Monday. But when I asked for the date of acceptance after finishing my interview, one of the staffs told me it might take 2 or 3 weeks. So who knows...😂

SocialKonstruct Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Still awaiting two more decisions and finalizing at some point. Hope to finish this ordeal by next week. Or so.
h3249r Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I was ready to commit to Indiana and then I just got an email last night from Iowa (the only school I hadn't heard from) that they'd like to interview me. I feel like this confirms I was essentially on some invisible waitlist as I know folks who were both rejected outright and admitted already many weeks ago. Not sure how to feel about this practice or about the possibility of going through this whole waiting game again so late in the cycle when I could already be finding housing for next year...
AJJAY Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Updates as of 3/13 Norwegian University of Science & Technology: Silence. Oslo National Academy of the Arts: Rejection 3/3. Arizona State University: Silence, but I know ASU letters have gone out, so just waiting for an official rejection Colorado State University: Portal was updated today saying a decision has been recommended and that I'll receive a final decision within 2 weeks. UGHHHH Boise State University: Waitlisted 2/28 with high priority. New Mexico State University: Accepted 3/9. NMSU is offering pretty generous funding, but it's tough to accept it right now when there's still so many schools I'm hoping to hear back from to make the best decision I can. I know a lot of people are feeling similarly right now. Any tips on navigating this? Edited March 13, 2023 by AJJAY
qrxtuv Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Hey folks - long time lurker, first time poster - just wondering if there is a general consensus surrounding the reputation of UW Madison’s MFA in the art world, or if anyone has any stories (pos, neg or indifferent) or thoughts abt the program? I was offered a place there for this year and just curious bc I don’t have a fine arts background. Thanks!

As a MN native, I've only heard good things about UW madison, and Usnews ranks it as #15 in best fine arts Graduate programs in the US. Congrats on the acceptance!
