May I ask what kind of “full ride” you’re given by Rutgers? It’s on their website that their TAship is only 6hours a week, plus NY metropolitan area it’s still far away from a normal living expense

I mean a merit award as a fellowship that covers the tuition, which covers a two-year term.  Yeah, it is so expensive....PTL and Co-ad won't cover much for the living.. Also, there are fees totaling approximately $1,700 per semester that a student needs to pay..

1.7k student fees per semester?! Wtf..if I were you I’d rather go to UMD because college park is cheaper indeed (at least cheaper for foods/transportation..); I won’t apply for Rutgers anymore

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from some programs after the interviews?

ok so I heard through the grapevine that ArtCenter doesn't really give anyone any money!!!  I got 23k from Otis so if I want to be in LA I have an option that will be feasible.  Everyone I know who has gone to ArtCenter could pay out of pocket.  I am going to do some more research and call campus (dm me if you want, I'll update you) but right now it doesn't seem realistic to me.

Hmm, I got a decision last week. Perhaps, they send it to internationals first 🤔

if it’s any consolation, they were on Spring Break last week and the Admissions admin was in mandatory training through Monday. Could be a contributing factor in the delay

Haven’t received any email from Columbia Sculpture yet😢

Whether its rejection or a waiting list..

Has anyone received their financial aid package from Yale yet? They said we would receive it approximately 14 days after we got the acceptance letter which would have been yesterday the 19th but I still haven't heard anything 😕

Haven't heard anything either. Its been a while at this point😭 like

[auklame]

has anyone contacted yale directly to know the reason of the delay of the funding packages? I was hoping to get it yesterday

[ZenGarden]

I emailed Pratt this morning asking when the decision will be made since I have looming deadlines from other programs. And I literally received the decision letter just 2 HOURS after I sent the email. This feels like a JOKE. But thanks Pratt

I emailed about a week ago but didn’t get a response yet. Maybe calling by phone is an option?
