I just did my sculpture/photo interviews with SAIC; It's a lot more personable, for sure. I asked about 20 questions, and they answered them well. I got to learn about the program in more depth, given that I did not go to any info sessions. They only give 30% aid, one full ride for one student in each department. I definitely learned a lot. great experience, since it is my first time for all this.

Were you at the zoom meet and greet/tour? Did you happen to write down the current students email that was taking us around? I neglected to and I have some questions I want to ask her.

I was there, but I didn't write that down either..

From what it seems painting applicants for RISD, Hunter, and Bard have already gotten responses. Is it safe to assume that I'll be receiving a rejection since I haven't heard anything?

Also, people who have been accepted to programs in the past but didn't attend and decided to reapply for different programs in future years, can I ask why? I'm somewhat considering it due to financials, but I'm not sure if it's the right decision for me. 

Congrats to everyone who has had interviews/acceptances/ and any other good things happen to them lately! :)

I was accepted to a couple funded programs last year, and while the financial situation was good, the programs didn’t feel like the best fit for me. It was a tough decision, but ultimately I decided to decline and wait another year. Through last year’s application and interview process I learned a lot about how MFA programs vary drastically program to program, and I figured out exactly what I want and am looking for in an MFA program. I think timing is really important but, for me, I think the most important thing is finding a program that is the right fit. Grad school is a serious commitment so i feel like it’s important to not rush it and make sure you make the right decision and find the right program. Good luck w your decisions

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my SAIC MFA interview experience – it's been my dream school for ages, so yeah, I was kinda nervous. The vibe wasn't exactly what I expected; it wasn't the kind of atmosphere where they throw compliments and react a lot to what you're saying. They started off asking why I wanted to attend SAIC and why it was my dream school. After that, the focus shifted entirely to my work, and they asked me a lots of questions about it. They even gave me a bit of critique, suggesting ways I could take my work forward, which was cool but also a bit unexpected? – they mentioned approaches I'd never really considered or tried before.

Overall, the interview felt less casual compared to other places I've interviewed with – a tad intimidating, maybe? They had some pretty sharp questions about my work, but I think I managed to answer them well! It was an interview that really reflected the intense and vibrant atmosphere of SAIC's painting program.

If you had the choice between RISD and Yale for graduate studies in painting/visual arts, which would you choose? regardless of funding options. I keep seeing different ratings between the schools based on international and domestic rankings.
