baja318 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 I was told that nearly all painting grads get an assistantship their second year..is the assistantship they offered covering your first year as well? I have been accepted, but haven't received a paper copy yet. Going to visit on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenceline Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Oh really?

dtreizman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 DId you get an interview from Columbia at all? I havent heard from them but am assuming rejection because no interview... 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...
poorstudent Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I applied to Stanford and still I haven't heard from them. Have you heard from them and if yes when? I see you crossed Stanford. Did you get a rejection letter? Nothing yet! When I interviewed with them last year they called me on February 7 to notify me, so I'm starting to feel pessimistic. Though they could just be doing things differently this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACT Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I don't think Columbia is holding interviews. I heard they're sending out the results on late March/ early April.

artist Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hey guys. Does anyone know whether there is a particular date that the schools are supposed to let applicants know their decisions by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designr Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I am assuming it's April 15.. but I don't think that's right because someone on a wait list may not be notified until after April 15, when they know if there are extra spots or not. Also some schools have offered me an extension to the April 15 deadline to decide.. so yeah maybe there isn't any specific date? Hey guys.

poorstudent Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I am accepted to Columbia College Chicago with the Follett Graduate Merit Scholarship of 12,300 for each year. (36,600 total) I will go only if I can be fully funded. Someone asked in this forum if it is possible to get in from the waitlist and still receive funding. I think it is possible. If I decline (very likely) then this scholarship will be freed up as well as my space so I assume the money will go to the first student on the waitlist. I posted my thoughts on funding and the value of MFA in another topic in the Gradcafe (figuring out loans), that you might want to check out: http://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/19944-figuring-out-loans/page__gopid__232991#entry232991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non Sequitur Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 New to the forum- So far I've been accepted to Parson's and SVA's Fine Arts programs. Any thoughts on these programs from a painter's perspective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bretter Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Heard Parsons is really good... I would definately take SVA over Parsons - better reputation, better faculty and much better facilities! congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladislao Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Parsons is much better. And the teachers there are excellent. SVA is too comercial in my opinion New to the forum- So far I've been accepted to Parson's and SVA's Fine Arts programs. Any thoughts on these programs from a painter's perspective?

Cobalt Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 New to the forum- So far I've been accepted to Parson's and SVA's Fine Arts programs. Any thoughts on these programs from a painter's perspective? It's going to depend on what you want out of a graduate program. Parson's is much more interdisciplinary and SVA would be focused on painting. (Not that it matters: SVA is ranked 15, Parsons 21 for fine arts and not even rated for painting.) I would recommend visiting both so you can compare. Also look at the teachers who are at each to see who you would prefer to work with. Good luck and Congratulations!

Cotton Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Did you apply for painting? No, I applied for design or interdisciplinary design depending on the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
