reallyfamousartist Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) This is for Painting/2D Just got my first denial from Tyler/Temple! ? It's ok but ego is hurting. Expecting a denial from RISD as well. So far I've heard from and secured interviews with: U Chicago Northwestern SAIC CalArts MassArts Rutgers MICA Haven't heard back from UCLA, Yale, Pratt, Stamps, RISD, Hunter, Washington St, Idaho St, Boston U, Columbia, or Carnegie Mellon yet Edited February 3, 2023 by reallyfamousartist dawndothat and Sculpturegirl101 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if they do cover travel costs? CalArts is a dream! Happy to hear that you got invited there too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterJJ Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 If I haven't hear back form SAIC and RISD painting for interview, should I assume I am rejected....? So frustrating cuz they were my top list (I'm international applicant, btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do various rounds of inteviews in RISD and also you have the waitlist option in case anyone that gets accepted rejects their place so just wait a bit! painterJJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huis.clos Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Hi all, just found this forum. I’m very grateful for everyone’s input and insight. here’s where I’m at now : -SAIC Fiber & Material Studies (unofficial interview notification 1/27; official interview notification 2/2; interview scheduled 2/11) -RISD Textiles (interview notification 2/3; interview scheduled 2/14) -Yale Sculpture (no updates) if anyone has interview suggestions or specific things to note for these program, any help would be appreciated.

I’m Canadian and wondering if I should go out there I’m in the same boat I may fly in, flights aren’t trrrible from where I am. I want to be sure I like Santa Clarita and curious to know more about the school before dropping 50k+ usd a year. had my interview with Glasgow and they were very nice and straight to business it went by super quick. They asked me to present my work to them for ten minutes. Asked why they should chose me. What artists I like. What writers I like. How I see my work changing. Why I applied to Glasgow. I didn’t do great but not terrible so I think it’s 5050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reasons I always think they are less likely to reject you if you go for interview in person. Not sure if that's true but it might show the school that you are serious about going there.

azumarill Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hey! Just found this forum and thought I'd share my applications as well! I applied to 7 schools in total with concentration in photography. RISD (anyone in photography heard from them yet?) Ohio State (waitlist email received on Feb.1st, interviewed in the beginning of Jan) U of Oregon (just finished interview) VCU MassArt (interview in Feb.10th) Stanford Syracuse Good luck guys!

Honestly, it's a pretty ridiculous to expect artists to spend money out of pocket to travel for a 20 minute interview after which you could still get rejected. The most important parts of your application they have already seen, I feel like they can glean the same information from a virtual or in person interview. That being said though I understand why people want to travel and it's a good idea if you have the resources. But I'm not traveling unless it's reasonable driving distance tbh. I know some schools will pay to fly you out after you get accepted so you can get a sense of the program, so keep this in mind too!

futuredesigner Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yeah, I ended up deciding to do a virtual interview with RISD because flights are pretty expensive for me. ? I hope it doesn't hurt my chances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that last year they sent out most emails today and yesterday!! Good luck to everyone! I also applied to Yale painting! I'm an intl student from UK applying for the second time; applied back in 2018 but straight out of uni (big nono in retrospect but hey!). With the time difference I’m literally checking my emails every hour lol.

reallyfamousartist Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Just got out of an interview with UChicago-- questions were almost exactly the same as what everyone else has experienced. "tell me about yourself, what you've been doing recently, what book has inspired you, why you want to go to graduate school, why you want to study at insert school, explain your work in one work, what do you do outside of studio" Super rapid fire and extremely difficult to condense a thoughtful response into a single sentence for each question. Hope this helps everyone preparing for interviews! Must be concise and stand out! Good luck! I'm rooting for you all!

Congratulations! I didn't know University of Oregon sent interview invites, but now I'm finding out they are completing interviews. What is your area of focus for U of O?

mfahopefulfunding Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi all! Anyone got any updates from Bard or Yale Sculpture? Same as some of you was feeling like at least Yale would send out nos or interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miso Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Looks like UCLA and Stanford will reach out next week ? I guess it's a good sign that no one has heard back from them, that means we still have a chance. Next week is about to be crazy.

It's a great fully funded 3 year program. Now hearing that @azumarilljust finished an interview makes me believe I just wasn't a finalist. I thought no one heard anything from Oregon but apparently they are finishing interviews....that's a bummer. I wonder why most of these programs hold onto rejection letters until March....like if you know you don't want someone and they are rejected, just notify them ASAP instead of having them refresh their email for no reason lol This entire MFA application process seems very inconsiderate for the applicants.

azumarill Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi! I applied to UO with a concentration in photography. Received the interview email on Feb.1st. Not sure how the other areas schedule their interview process but it is just the beginning of Feb. Just way too early to consider it's a firm No!
