For anyone who applied to UIC, someone who was accepted in 2022 told me this today, "UIC actually did not do an interview, I just received an offer by email at the end of February and then had a phone call with the Director of Graduate Services (DGS) to discuss program details, funding, etc. This year the DGS is Professor Nate Young. I expect that he will be reaching out to people later this month, or early March."

Has anyone heard from RISD photo? I have not and I know they have sent out interviews for painting. 

I have also not heard from RISD Photo. 

I had what felt like a great interview with Parsons photo last week. At the end the interviewer thanked me and said she would forward me scholarship info in the next few weeks. No mention of a second interview for scholarship consideration. Maybe it is different by school?

I schedule for zoom unless they can pay for my travels.

How long after interviews do people typically hear? I interviewed as MassArt today and I thought it went really well! But no idea when I will hear back...

I have had so many rejections the past two years. I have gotten a lot more recently too, always a hard pill to swallow. I think that is one thing that all creatives and artists have in common- getting shot down but always finding a way to get back up. We wouldn't be here applying to grad school if we weren't already resilient to get here in the first place!

Got interviews with SAIC and MassArt today, wondering if people are going to Chicago in person? Any advice about that would be so cool.. I'm nervous 

 

I had mine at MassArt today as well (3d)! Good luck :)

How was it? I thought mine was good but I was def nervous!

Has anyone heard anything back from Rutgers ? Interviews rejections ? 

I haven’t heard anything!

Anyone familiar with SAIC online interviews? They said interviews will be carried out in a group critique format, and as I see all interviews are scheduled at the same hour. Does this mean interviews are not personal??

Nope, I don't think they've sent anything out yet.

I did one last year, it was with the entire sculpture faculty and me, no other prospective students or anything weird like that. Maybe it'll be different this year, but that sounds horrible haha.

I had an interview with RISD for painting on January 24, it was intense but went well I think?
They said we'd heard back three weeks from the interviews. Hope that helps!

Everyone asking about Rutgers it says on their website directly that they will contact for March interviews in mid Feb- I wouldn't expect to hear anything until next week or the following week

I'm glad it went well, that way you don't have to worry as much haha, Mine is booked for a couple days from now (2D in painting) If you don't mind me asking, what kind of questions did they bring up?

I’m considering flying in for SAIC more than others. I think looking at the environment and such will be a key component for me and my investment of time. Also I haven’t really been to Chicago , compared to New York and LA. So I’m thinking about it. 

unless u plan on going there, I would say go, is that your first choice?
