Oh no. Sorry. Where are you looking? All I have access to is application management. Many status just says submitted.

Just learned that I was accepted into SUNY New Paltz's MFA Studio Art: Photography & Related Media program, my first ever grad school acceptance :).

I haven't posted here in about three weeks. I've seen people posting about interview invitations from Columbia and RISD, and congrats to all you guys! Haven't heard from them, so I'm assuming a rejection is coming down the pike lol. Still waiting to hear back from Yale, SUNY Purchase, Hunter, Bard, and UDelaware (all photo).

I relate so much to the stress I see in this forum. I hope all of you are staying healthy, taking care of yourselves, and being productive while we're playing the waiting game. Additionally, congrats to everyone on the interviews and acceptances.

I applied for graphic design btw so it might just be for that area, but I got an email there was an update to my applicant portal and checked the update and it was the rejection letter

Also just got a Yale rejection, but also got an odd "encouraging message in regards to future candidacy" basically saying try again in a few years. is this boiler plate / did anyone else/ everyone else get this?

What discipline?

I got that wording as well (from yale painting)--also curious if this is something everyone received

I'm guessing they're sending out emails little by little to avoid technical issues? Mine has a last name start with Z so maybe they haven't gotten there yet??? Idk, it is nerve wrecking and this is just my guessing....

Maybe it goes in order of applying? I submitted on the deadline. 

I submitted mine ten days before the deadline...still no emails.

that's.... cruel to say the least. did your friend ever reach out?? I don't think they would do that on purpose. it must have been a tech issue?

I applied maybe a week in advance so I don't think it's that.

Ideally they send out rejections and invites in the same time frame but sometimes schools have a tendency to send out rejections and acceptances seperatley 

Seems like a lot of people haven't heard in this thread, but hopefully that means more acceptances and they'll be sent out i the next few hours or tomorrow at the latest and not that they have to do another round of cuts

 

no news yet is hopefully good news!

Yeah I applied a few days before the deadline I think. And I don’t think she ever reached out, I don’t think she was ever seriously expecting to get in so she wasn’t too concerned. But yeah maybe just a tech error?

How are you guys finding past interview/acceptance dates? I've been trying to look for a time frame for CU Boulder and UW Seattle, but I've been scrolling and scrolling in last years forum and cant seem to find anything. Is there a faster way I dont know about?

You can use the search in the Visual forum as a whole. Just type in the school or whatever keyword and it'll show you the results from each forum year
