Artist1 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yep, Found out early afternoon that I was accepted to SMFA. YAY! any finalists receive any news from SMFA yet?
Artist1 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Taken from the Columbia Visual Arts MFA section on the websiteL Here's what the website states: Admissions Policies Notification of Admission In most cases, official notification that a decision has been made will be delivered by e-mail. For security, such e-mail does not contain the decision itself however, decision information will be posted in the on-line application. Decisions are made and communicated during the months of March and April. Official decision notifications are made by the School of the Arts and not individual departments or programs. Only letters or e-mail sent directly from the School of the Arts may be considered official notifications of admission and financial aid. The Office of Admissions cannot give decision results over the phone. It is important that you keep both your e-mail address and mailing address current by e-mailing us at admissions-arts@columbia.edu with "Applicant Address Update" in the subject line. Any changes necessary can be made from within your on-line application. The School of the Arts regrets that due to the large volume of applications, we cannot provide individual explanations to those who are not admitted.

colbz Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 anyone else still not heard from Rutgers yet? Anyone else still not heard from Hunter yet? And here's another question for everyone/ anyone, out of curiosity: what is the largest amount of loans you would be willing to take out for school? As in the largest amount of debt you would be willing to take on before waiting another year and applying again to try and get a better deal? I'm just wondering what others would do. I feel like even if you get a huge scholarship, there would still be inevitable loans of some degree for living expenses, right? I mean, it would be hard to have more than a summer job if you had a TA position.
bethanyr Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I think it depends on what kind of career you see for AFTER graduate school. I am a MASSIVE amount in debt from undergraduate, and because of this I wont be going to grad school unless i get it all paid for with a stipend. However, I will soon be a licensed teacher and will be able to have part forgiven by working in a public school. I think that it all somewhat evens out as long as I get a good deal for my MFA, whether that be now or later on. I think that if you REALLY want to go you should, and something like money shouldn't stop you if you cannot see yourself being happy elsewhere. PS- I have not seen a single Rutgers rejection post yet, so there is a chance it could be good. Hang in there! Those admitted are supposed to submit a response by April 8th, I assume in order to quickly notify those waitlisted? anyone else still not heard from Rutgers yet?
