Hii!! congrats on the good interview. I was wondering if they let you know when you'd hear back with a decision? 

Thank you!!!! He told me that the results will come out in about 2-3weeks. :’)…

Congratulations on the interview! Did they send you an email or did they call you to set up an interview?

Hey-- Just got an interview for calarts. 

It's an optional in person (encouraged) interview day in a few weeks or a zoom situation. I'm planning on going in person anyways because there's a few other schools I applied to in LA that I need to look at in person. 

Has anyone had any luck requesting travel/hotel accommodations in the past? I've read from others that some other schools have funded their stay (saw some people post about it with northwestern last year), but I understand that northwestern is a research school with a ton of funding and usually pretty generous.

 

They don't say anything about paying for arrangments in the email 

I'll probably try to see if I can get two nights booked and maybe the flight there with them to save money but will end up going/staying for around 4 days regardless. was just curious if anyone knows what I should expect

Just got an interview invitation from RISD D+M. They only allow applicants to select the date, but don't allow requests for any specific time of the day, which is kinda weird...

How did the interview go ? Did they say anything

It went well! They said they ask all the applicants the same questions (it's pretty standard) & I will be notified in 2 weeks.

Any chance you'd let us know the list of questions?

Hey all, 

 

I've been lurking for a bit. I have a focus in ceramics and I applied to 5 schools:

University of Washington

University of Colorado Boulder

University of Oregon

University of California San Bernardino 

and Pacific Northwest College of Art 

 

So far, I have been selected as a finalist for the University of Oregon and I did a phone interview Wednesday - They said I should hear back within 2-3 weeks. 

 

Good luck these next few weeks, everyone!
