mfa2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Another way to do it is to get to know someone in the program or have someone call someone who knows someone. I know it's sad but it's super competitive and you (and I) have to elbow our way in. Good luck! I just got my rejection email from NYU earlier this week and am anxiously awaiting news from Columbia. So far I have 3 rejections and I'm already planning what I can do better for next year's applications. Aside from maybe applying to easier schools, having more recent art work would top my list. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yale - rejected Royal Academy (London) - rejected NYU (Steinhardt) - rejected Columbia - ?

cars Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes.. drawing/painting I think. I was so nervous and tongue tied, I don't think I could possibly have done worse. I'm not sure they're interviewing all at once, it seemed like timing was up to the person doing the interview.. I'll post if I hear anything else. Thanks for all the information everyone and good luck! Did you apply for Fine Arts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericsozone Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hey CCA kids- I absolutely do not have a web advisor log in. It was not on any email, believe me I've checked. So, I'm wondering if your number is anything specific? social security, telephone, birth date? Oh man! I might have to wait until Monday... that's tooooo long! On the flip side, interview at RISD! Anyone taking the phone interview instead of flying there? Last minute flights from the midwest to Providence are ridiculous! hey dunno if anyone replied to you so I'm going to now The number was randomized, I was lost on where it was for a very long time. If you're awesome and have gmail searching for "cca id" will bring up your result, if you're unlucky and have an email account somewhere where search isn't as good, I'd look for an email from graduateprograms@cca.edu with a subject of "CCA Application Received" the email mainly talks about financial aid, but at the bottom it should say your name an an ID. Now that you have your id, you have to login - your id is not your username. type in cca+id number, so your cca user name should be something like cca157235 (a 7 digit number). Your password will be your birthday in ddmmyyyy format, if that doesn't work try ddmmyy if you were born in a single digit month put a 0. If you don't get it to work just call them tomorrow and they should be able to figure out why your stuff isn't working. I wish they made this process easier and explained it to applicants. psh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borges Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I got an acceptance from Chicago back in early Feb... I cannot wait to see the WashU financial aid packets! I was told they would be going out in the next couple days. Did you go to the open house? If so, what did you think?

bertyruss Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 People are starting to get acccept to programs, so I wonder about making decisions. I've been lucky enough to be accepted to two programs (WUSTL and SMFA), and I like them both and am a bit torn. I tried to start a new thread for this..."Comparative merits of....." Thanks, BertyRuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
