designr Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Do you guys think it's fine to just reply back via email to the schools that you know you will not be going to? Or is that rude?.. I'm not really sure if there is an etiquette to this?
Chestertittechno Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks a lot guys Yea kinda small compared to others I have seen....but there are definitely nice galleries...and many schools wouldn't give students an entire gallery to themselves for an MFA thesis show, but JMU does!
aprilO Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 has anyone heard from UCLA sculpture? or SAIC Sculpture, Fibers or Painting? thx
inscho Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 has anyone heard from UCLA sculpture? or SAIC Sculpture, Fibers or Painting? thx from what i understand decisions have been made for SAIC painting as of last wednesday....snail mail letters to arrive this week I assume.
Javier Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I know CCA already let us know about acceptances last week via webadvisor, but has anybody heard about financial aid, or gotten official letters yet?
truthbetold Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 UCLA Sculpture: I called and they said they are "very close" for sculpture and expect letters to go out sometime this week. There is no formalized interview process, so it is somewhat up to department's discretion.
designr Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I just talked to them today about that... they said we should be receiving two packets in the mail.. the first one will include the official letter and any merit based scholarships. The second will be from their financial aid office that will include need-based scholarships and other general financial aid/loan information. So should be any day now!

Javier Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 great! thanks so much. Can't wait, this wait is no fun...

aprilO Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 wow thanks! I was getting kinda nervous seeing all the "I have an interview at UCLA!" postings thinking that I must be "assumed rejected." Probably going to be reject anyways but at least I can hope a little longer...

franco222 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I can hardly stand waiting anymore........if one hasn't heard back from a school at this point, is that usually a bad sign?
loveArt Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 If it makes you feel any better, I've only heard back from two schools (both rejections). To be fair, during the application process, the majority of the schools I applied to said to expect a decision by March or April...it is only mid-March, so maybe it's still a bit early to assume rejection? Of course, I'm forcing positive vibes and a hopeful outlook at this point, as well.

I know that most schools, including those I am waiting to hear back from, say mid march to April 1st, but based on my obsessive searching for last year's results/notification dates, I'm starting to feel a bit nervous.

Hmm I've always seen it as "No news is good news," and that if I haven't heard from a school yet, maybe it's because they're still considering me? I hope I'm right. Edited March 14, 2011 by artist
Beladinah Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Just heard from SFAI-accepted to their low-res program! Waiting on MICA now.

I hope I'm right. That's actually what a couple of my friends that already have mfa's said, so I think you may be right. I'm just a bit of a silly person right now, dying to hear back! Lets all stay positive! loveArt and designr 2

I keep freaking out and couldn't sleep til 7 a.m. this morning. I'm trying to stay positive. I got into WashU in St. Louis and I'm really glad...but tuition is so expensive that I'm not sure what's going to happen right now. Good luck to everyone!
franco222 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Congrats on the acceptances and,Yeah! Good luck to everyone! Sending out good vibes Edited March 15, 2011 by franco222
zepher Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Email is fine--they want to hear from you as quickly as possible, so the faster you respond, the better.

baja318 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Any thoughts, or insider comments, on Syracuse U's Painting program?
pickupsticks Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Congrats Swanson!! How did you hear?! When did you hear?! accepted to Pratt w/funding!
iswanson Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Just interviewed this afternoon and they told me at the end of the interview! I won't have specific details on what they are offering for a week or two though. Edited March 15, 2011 by iswanson
pickupsticks Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Oh man.. that sounds really great! I know I don't know you, but I am really happy for you! Pratt is/was one of my top choices. I really hope to hear from them soon. Just interviewed this afternoon and they told me at the end of the interview! She said the interview was mostly for the scholarship. haha! I won't have specific details on what they are offering for a week or two though.
