That feels like soooo long from now! I heard at the end of the interview to expect radio silence for a few weeks but I figured I'd ask anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geminilibraaquarius Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 anyone heard back from UT Knoxville? I had an interview maybe 3 weeks ago but no word since then. Good luck to everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huis.clos Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Hi all, I was accepted into SAIC's FMS program via phone call today! Official notices and funding will be coming shortly, but they did mention I was awarded a Visionary Scholar Award (20% tuition). Does anyone have advice in advocating for more funding? I am worried that perhaps all merit-based scholarships may be awarded if I wait until the acceptance packets are sent out and would like to shoot my shot asap. Thanks and wishing the best of luck to all of you in the next steps! mfahopefulfunding, Belstaff, azumarill and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redCat Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I have an interview this Friday with the Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts, and the only info I got is that it'll be about 30 minutes. I'm not really sure how to prep or what to expect, and I've only done interviews for US schools. I would really appreciate any advice or words of wisdom!

Super stoked and excited. Does anybody have any interview experience with these colleges or some advice? During my last interview (with UAL), the interviewer talked more than I did and I felt really bad about it later. Is there any way I can try to engage my interviewer in a flowing conversation naturally? I've researched the kind of questions that come up, but I have no idea how to answer them in a natural yet impressive manner. Please share some insights on this! All the help is sincerely appreciated! Thank you! I'm interviewing for MICA GD next week. Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous..! If someone did the MICA interview, give us some advice plz. Good luck!! risaurus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter12345 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 In previous years, the people in this forum figured out that if the “MFA” disappears in the phrase “2023 Painting MFA” on your Columbia slideroom account then you have been rejected. Not sure if that’s still true though SocialKonstruct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said official decisions will be announced mid-March. They then invited us to campus tour, another virtual panel for questions, and counselor appointments. All for MFA painting Hey blueangel, Thank you for sharing. Might I ask you that the notification you received for being a finalist for MICA Painting which means you are accepted into the school?

Paintingpaintings Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Hi. Just finished my online CalArts interview for mfa in art. It was 15 minutes they asked: why an mfa, why now. Why cal arts. What do you expect from a mfa. What I was working on right now. Asked me one question about my work specifically and that’s it. Super laid back and quick and felt comfortable.

Not sure if that’s still true though I don't know if that universally holds. I can see an old application from a year when I was rejected still in my Slideroom account, and it still says MFA. I wish they would just do what Yale does and let you know, since they obviously know if you've been rejected. It just seems more polite.

To be honest it was kind of a blur it went so fast. Other than a general overview of who I am, the questions were pretty specific to me and my education like how my minor and major connect. The best way to prep besides researching and knowing the program is to review your statement I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
