akap Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 how did you find out?? Thanks! got into SVA's MFA Fine Arts program. also I should add I got a merit scholarship to SMFA so that will help with the cost factor for tuition. but neither New York or Boston are cheap cities to live in.

inscho Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think saic only gives one full ride in printmedia....so you got the next highest amount of funding they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious-cat Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Found out I am waitlisted at SVA (MFA Fine Arts) and accepted to Art Center College of Design. Anyone have any thoughts about Art Center or think I have a chance of getting into SVA? I was also accepted to Otis College and I really like that school. Thanks!

loveArt Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 At the moment I can't even imagine going through this all again, but deep down I know I will try for 2012. I know I really want this, it's just so discouraging at the moment. I'm sorry you have a bleak outlook for your future, as well. Have you been accepted to any schools? I hope so. Good luck!!!

NFP Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Congratulations, this is a good result. You should count yourself as extremely fortunate to have been offered this scholarship, particularly at one of the top schools. If you have been following this forum, you'd know that many many applicants have received little or no offers of funding support, so I'd say looking down at 40K debt is better than 80K if you're really serious about doing your MFA. got into SAIC with a 50% tuition trustee scholarship. printmedia department. i was so not expecting to get in anywhere. should i do it? is 40 grand worth an MFA at SAIC?? in this economy??

EDG101 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I got offered a graduate assistantship for MFA sculpture. It covers tuition and comes with a stipend. I received notice via e-mail March 16th, and a paper copy came in the mail a few days later. Have you heard if you've been accepted yet? I know two other painting MFA applicants and they've heard nothing so far. Good luck! PAFA- accepted University of Washington (Seattle)- rejected CSU- accepted Temple- rejected Indiana University- accepted Has anyone been offered first year funding from Indiana University - Bloomington?

lspark87 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Has anyone heard back from Columbia University's MFA in Visual Studies? I havent heard from Columbia's MFA either. It's really frustrating when you get all the results from all the other schools except Columbia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
