Nila Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm new on here, but have been following for awhile. I've just received an email from RISD. It was from the director of printmaking MFA graduate studies. I am "very close to the top" of the wait list. Specific details about my statement and portfolio were included in the email. Does anyone know how likely it is that I'll end up being admitted. The email said I would be notified "as soon as a spot is available"....anyone have an interpretation of that? Congrats to anyone who was accepted there!! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

designr Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Rejected from Univ. of Florida It's so weird because I already got into a couple of schools that are 10 times better (academically) than Unv. of Florida. But I got rejected from Univ of Florida... It's so crazy, you never know why they pick you or don't pick you.... so strange these schools are.

eleven Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hello, I just came across this site yesterday, I wish I had found it in January! I work in a variety of mediums, which I sometimes combine, so although I only applied to 8 schools, I applied to about 15 programs. SO far I've interviewed at Saic for painting, was accepted at Saic for ceramics, waitlisted at the University of Washington for ceramics/3d4m, and rejected from calarts. I haven't heard from any other schools, most of which I assume means I was rejected or waitlisted. YOu can see my stuff at www.christopherallman.com But want I want to ask is about money. I notice some people have mentioned being accepted with $. How does this work? Does it just happen automatically? Since, for example, I was accepted to the ceramics program at Saic is there some way I can ask them to offer me money? Any advice or experience on this subject? I'm in your boat. I got in to SAIC's Fiber/Materials and am waiting to hear back on Painting. A painter named Chiara led my tour of the painting department and said her need-based scholarship covered 40% of her tuition and another merit scholarship covered the rest. She said that she had to fight for it however, so I think making your case to the school does help. Her merit scholarship I think was one she had to apply for specifically, not one that was automatically applied for by applying to the school.

Nila Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yeah it was Raftery. He seems super nice! Risd is definitely one of my top interests. I haven't been able to visit, but those who I've communicated have given me a really great impression. Congrats on your acceptance! Is it your 1st choice??

joonam Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 thank you. i was soooo surprised to hear from him. he emailed and then called me. i havent visited either. im still waiting to hear from other schools mainly cornell. but i never thought i would get into risd so well c best of luck to you.

playing the waiting game Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well... funding is a big issue. Besides that, I would like a small program (student-wise)... but it is a difficult choice indeed, I am leaning towards deciding between CMU, CalArts and UCSD. On the other hand, SAIC has an enormous reputation, but right now I am not filling like it has as much potential as the other programs in the New Media area. I would surely appreciate some feedback on this. when and to what program were you admitted to calarts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco222 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Last update: I've just received a phone call from CMU offering me a position in their MFA program. What do you guys think about CMU? Good luck to all! Congrats! That's amazing! That is a long time top tier school with a fantastic reputation. kimpusity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

va. woolf Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 nice to see ucla is using the same form letter as last year. i don't know why it irks me, but for some reason i feel like schools could have the decency to set aside a dollar from my application to send me a hardcopy. it just seems so impersonal and like a final slap in the face to feel like they couldn't be bothered to waste the price of a stamp on you. though, i don't have the same hang ups when i'm getting good news. meh. soootired 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
