Also Philly still has an identity to it, it's unlike anywhere I've ever been in the US Good to hear! It was so hard to get a vibe for the entire city after only being there for a few days and in a specific area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are still processing the applications, so don’t worry if you haven’t heard anything yet. borg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Philly still has an identity to it, it's unlike anywhere I've ever been in the US I don't quite agree as I have lived here in the Frankfort Market area and commuted to work at Market Street for years. The crime and homicides were pretty bad when I was there from 1997 until 2004 and had gotten worse by the time I left to Salt Lake City. My older friend got accosted and nearly assaulted on SEPTA one afternoon. Even City Center was pretty desolate and bad. If one attends Temple I would recommend avoiding Kensington and North Philly. I think Northern Liberties was all right but walking around downtown was not particularly good to me by myself late nights. Even South Street has gotten a lot worse. I do like ICA on U Penn campus and the Museum but the only safe area I felt was probably around the Rittenhouse Sqaure area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJJAY Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Well everyone, I went ahead and accepted a great offer from NMSU. They were offering in-state tuition ($6k/yr), a 10 or 20hr/week GA'ship worth $5k or $10k/semester, and 2 credits of tuition remission if I accepted by yesterday 3/20. Was holding out for Boise State and NTNU in Norway, but the stress and anxiety have just been unreal this past month. I decided to just make a decision! Obviously, still nervous to pack up and move across the country, but I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone and experience something new. Thanks to everyone on this sub for the support, made me feel like I wasn't so crazy. These threads get archived, so it will be fun looking back and reminiscing on this process in 5-10 years. Good luck to you all in your pursuits, and once you accept, go out and treat yourself! zemog, hogii, onetwothreefourfive and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemog Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Waitlisted for UCLA Sculpture. I had to email them directly as there were no updates on my portal. Also I can confirm no interview and they only contact some of your recommenders. CactusWren22, hoo_boy, Animapaint and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you apply as well? yes! really anxious to hear back. should be next month according to their FAQ. There was no essay to apply and not letters of recommendation so this process feels even more mysterious than the MFA process!! I remember stalking their 2022 cohort and it looks like I a lot of the people they accept are in the middle of their MFA or have already completed one...

I feel like I've been conditioned to think the next step to get to where I want to be is getting a degree, then another degree...but I'm beginning to wonder how different my life would be after the program. It feels like a gamble and I wonder if the things that I'm looking for in a program (critique, community, connections) I can simply find for myself where I am now. That being said though I have a very good offer from Tyler, and if I go, it would probably be there. cyb3rci3lo, Sweetie123, borg and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard they’ve sent out some rejections after interviewing and a few media applicants got their acceptances this past week. Still waiting for Slade after interviewing as well. Been 5 weeks lol. There’s a forum on the student room website with more Slade hopefuls posting regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
