lol. I wonder if you could email and tell them how interested you are in the department/school and ask to be considered for their waitlist.

Asking one more time if anyone has had any experience interviewing with Rutgers… or how long they take to make decisions there after?

Expand  

Interviewed with the Design faculty about a week ago, it was mentioned that they will “get back in March”. I’m assuming that they do wait till all of the interviews are done and then make final decisions. Maybe that’s the case for the Visual Arts program as well, but I cannot say for sure  : )

I have asked for feedback for now to understand what I am dealing with. And maybe next week I'll ask for reconsideration. lol

Not here either. Interviewed for illustration and graphic design in mid-February but no decision thus far. I've gotten the same "stay connected" e-mails.

I reached out to them personally after hearing nothing, no interview, etc. They sent me a weird email that almost led me to believe that I would be interviewed by them. Then the next day I was rejected. lol. 

[Gradboriss]

Did anyone get official letter from SAIC ceramics? I got a phone call about unofficial acceptance on Friday, but still no official letter...

[rhamfaa]

An update:

 

RISD: radio silence

Columbia: nothing

Ruskin (Oxford): interview then rejection

Yale: rejection

Slade (UCL): rejection

Cornell: nothing

RCA (London): nothing

 

Any advice or experience with any of these schools mentioned? I'm assuming rejection from RISD/Columbia since people have already heard back with offers.

What discipline did you apply in?
