hi all ❤️ applying to sculpture for all programs below

got an interview request from ucla at 7:30pm est (they wanted to interview the next day lmao..) woulda started prepping earlier if i knew it would be a quick turnaround

nothing from vcu or columbia yet

interview for yale feb 23 (notified feb 6) (disclaimer i did the norfolk undergrad program so they know me already)

interview for carnegie mellon feb 24 (notified jan 31)

did not make royal academy final round but I looked back at my app (which i kind of rushed) and was like th? was i drunk i didnt even submit some of the best newest stuff so.. not surprised lol

applied to a couple other things that are similar year or multi year fellowships in europe like schloss solitude and deateliers. i think those will take until april though. not holding out tho i never get any of those european things lol

my biggest regret so far is not applying to more fully funded + generous stipend programs, like northwestern. i could still apply to u of miami i think. whatever well see what happens. this is my first round applying

 

for future reference for folks..

when i went to go schedule my interview there were like 20 times to choose from if i remember right. i think i looked at it pretty fast after i got the email. but yeah im assuming that once a spot is picked its bc someone else chose it.

I've always wanted to go to yale but im waiting to hear how the financial aid comes in. its need based so am probably ok on the tuition front, but will need to figure out how to just live lol. ucla looked like they can offer a 20k stipend on top of tuition waiver (at least for first year). i was really hoping to get the PD soros fellowship (applies to any school) but didnt get an interview sadly. So yale and ucla I think. i think columbias going to be too expensive and idk much about vcu but i think i want to be in or be close to a big city.

I always have an interview Friday too, and is this your first time applying to yale? I also have an interview with Columbia this week & waiting on VCU. Nevertheless I can relate to your concern on tuition it’ll be the living for me as well

it is my first time applying yeah. you said columbia photo interview right? nothing yet from columbia sculpture? or i forget if they are just interdisciplinary all the way..

likewise, as well for Yale sculpture, and yes, Columbia photo, if they do not give me a great package, I cannot be there (Columbia). But I feel like if one department is asking me for an interview, I do not think sculpture will. Since I am already going to the school for an interview this week; I figure they would have been sending out that notice. Given their program is very interdisciplinary, it does not matter what major you get in with; you can do whatever.

I got an interview at Boston University for their painting program. Does anyone have any tips/know how competitive it is?

Thank you!!

I had an interview last year. 1/3 schools I interviewed for. First two school went very well, were very casual, the one director was making tea while we spoke. I was accepted to both of those. 

Boston U was in more formal. There were two students and two professors. They shared their screen and flipped through my artwork as I spoke. The first question was "how does form and content relate in your work?" I had questions prepared for the professors but I was directed to ask the students questions so I was a little thrown off by that. 

You'll do great! Try to relax and don't be nervous if they are running a little late and feel rushed. You are allowed to control the pace.

have yall had any luck asking the interviewers via email before what questions they might ask? 

cant tell if it would be annoying to ask them that and they may just not say anything... for the most part it seems like they dont respond to inquiries about the interview before

Posted

so i received no email from Rutgers but decided to check my portal and there was a very short message saying "Your application has been reviewed, and the committee has denied admission." Lmaooo 😂 Not saying the longer copy and pasted rejection letters are any better, but this was a first...very blunt and cold lol
