Curious12345 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Oh, and a recommender today ran into a faculty from a school that I was accepted to and she said she was specifically told that her letter made a difference in their decision. She is usually not one to BS about this kind of stuff (she is pretty straightforward), so I was stoked about it. So those of you that think recommenders don't matter or that they don't read the letters, they definitely do. Make sure they all get in!

lalorcharlotte Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 PHEW. Someone earlier said they made all their decisions already, so I was concerned.
Ms_B Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 hey...i'm applying to tyler in printmaking...and did not get an email? does that mean i'm finished? also, my status still says, "complete, ready to be reviewed"...what does that mean? has anyone looked at it yet? My email came directly from the head of the painting and sculpture. Printmaking may not have made any selections yet.
I Paint Faces Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 For those of you that have heard from Tyler about getting into the final round of painting, does your application status still say "complete and ready for review?" This is getting a bit disheartening...
wannaknow Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) OK here is what I am starting to believe more and more: *NONE of us are certain of anything until the official word comes in!!!!!!!! **Interviews do not necessarily mean you are a finalist and not having an interview does not mean you are NOT a finalist. ***It seems as though each year things are done slightly differently and so all we can do is speculate!!!!!! All we really really really know i that it aint over till its over!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep trying to tell myself that we will all end up where we are supposed to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heads up everyone, in about a month we will have a much, much better picture of how this is all going to pan out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck again!

daiy Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 This is very helpful! Thank you, lisa333! I had an interview with Penn, and my sense was that they were calling lots of people, just to get a quick sense of us: there was a 10 minute time limit on the conversation, and they only asked two questions (Why Penn an which artists would you recommend for visiting artist lecture series?)--at least that's how mine went, and my understanding is that that was relatively standard format. Not much talking about our work. They may have been calling people they were on the fence about/ needed more info about--not sure. I wouldn't read too much into getting or not getting an interview there, at this point. Hope that helps--and if anyone who had an interview there feels differently, holler.
daiy Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good call! OK here is what I am starting to believe more and more: I keep trying to tell myself that we will all end up where we are supposed to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During a phone interview. I was so nervous that I just talked and talked completely abandoning the answers that I had planned. It's actually pretty hilarious hahaha. See ya PennDesign!

Also, you will do much better job next time If you don't mind telling us, what kind of questions did they ask?
