geminilibraaquarius Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 what is a nice way to say thank you for accepting me to your school but I have decided to go to another program? THANK YOU Sweetie123 and impliedpaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetie123 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 For people accepted into funded programs (and if you feel comfortable sharing) how much money are you getting in stipends? And what sort of time requirement is tied to the stipend? I've gotten two offers, both funded. The first offer comes with a $16,000 stipend per year - I would be teaching my own undergrad course beginning in September. Teaching right off the bat makes me nervous because I've never taught before. The second offer is $12,000 per semester, but I wouldn't get a stipend (or have an assistantship) until the second semester. So my first year stipend would be $12,000 and my second year I would get the full $24,000. I just want to see how these offers align with offers other applicants are getting. I hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there x bloopers, fieldtrip and SocialKonstruct 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blenderbottle Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 first post, first round of MFA applications for graphic/communications design. my background isn't in art or design, so i wanted to apply to a lot of different programs to see if it might help me better understand where my work might fit best on the spectrum of commercial/experimental. i have to say i'm rather surprised at my results. the next month will hold a lot of soul searching and research, but i'd love to connect with anyone who's looked into any of the same programs as me. RCA: accepted, no interview SMFA: accepted after interview Pratt: accepted, no interview USC: interviewed and unofficially accepted with letter coming in ~2.5 weeks Cranbrook: accepted after interview RISD: waitlisted after interview SVA: rejected, no interview ArtCenter: nothing yet anonymousartstudent, shineepeach and futuredesigner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of acceptances! I haven't heard back from ArtCenter (applied for 3-year graphic design) and I'm not sure if I will hear back at this point.

I think GradCAS is having problems because my first email didn't have an attachment, but after I emailed, I got another email that was exactly the same (but with attachments) and another one from the Grad Program Coordinator!

hoo_boy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 seems like we can log into ArtCenter portal now but mine is still missing all funding info… same with CalArts (states something like funding “under review”) despite my acceptance arriving weeks ago and non-stop email communications asking for my deposit… has anyone heard from either school about $$$?

nddds Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I was going for the art + technology programs at each of these schools. MIT: Rejected UCLA: No news yet (or interview) CalArts: Half tuition Parsons: Full tuition Feeling very inclined to go with Parsons unless UCLA comes out of nowhere. Looks like there are also teaching options at Parsons to help cover some cost of living in NYC. Congrats to you all and good luck!

I was really shocked about Pratt since I hadn't interviewed. Just Boston University left. Anyone heard from them for design?? I was accepted about a week + ago. So they're sending out decisions. Good luck! I am sure they still have more decisions to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starrr Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Question. Pratt gave me departmental aid, but I am seeking more bc I really want to go and it's not my best aid package. I had a meeting today and am learning (also from their website) that federal aid from the FAFSA is separate?? Does anyone know anything abt this? I am scheduling a mtng immediately. Oh, and Parsons Comms Design decisions are finally coming out! Edited March 15, 2023 by Starrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
