ZenGarden Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 7 hours ago, Leee3 said: Hey, everyone! Just wanted to share that I got accepted into the SAIC fiber program(no scholarship), but unfortunately, I can't attend due to a lack of money (not a US citizen so I cannot apply for FAFSA). The response from SAIC is to ask me to reapply next year. If anyone has similar experience and is willing to give me some advice, I would appreciate it! Also, if you guys decide to reapply for MFA, what do you do for a living while preparing? I think it’s very hard for an international student to do that. I am also an international student. We can’t even legally work for any company that is other than our enrolled school. So for instance, legally, you job choice could only be working at the front desk of Saic library, working for their admission office etc. DesyDes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methe1st Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hi. I'd like to hear some opinions. I've been accepted into the Pratt, SAIC, and Calarts sculpture programs. Which school do you recommend and why? I'm leaning towards Pratt, but I wonder if this is the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a little late now and so I’m losing hope…  I haven't heard anything from Iowa either. Are you an American or international applicant?

It's my top choice, so I'm anxiously waiting to hear from them.. I just want to know if all accepted applicants receive personal emails or not.😠I received an informal email of acceptance for sculpture on the 4th and the official package on the 7th.

LegitimateHealth Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) In all programs I applied to Sculpture CalArts-Accepted with Full Ride Fellowship RISD-Accepted with 30k + 5k stipend a year Columbia-Accepted with 30k a year + teaching fellowship + work options SAIC-Accepted, no financial aid info yet UCLA-Rejected Yale-Rejected Bard-Crickets I am in between CalArts and Columbia but have no idea what to do. Any thoughts? This seems like a dumb question since i got a full ride offer but Columbia is my first option but not sure I want to go into debt deciding to go there.  Edited March 13 by LegitimateHealth clarification murmur and Miso 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still considering, cause even with a 40% scholarship, it’s still too much when consider other expenses. but BU is the only choice I have, other school either rejected me or offered very little funding. How much did they offer you? Do you think it’s possible to negotiate for a higher rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think BU is a great program (close-knit, good course, actually care about their students etc.) But i do want to go to a school in nyc. I realize at the end of the day I am the kind of artist who would choose a prestigious Chelsea gallery over a McArthur grant.  Edited March 14 by ZenGarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am visiting next Friday. So far, it is my only NYC option. But also received no info on potential financial aid, and it is ridiculously expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
