Guest Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 First, I wish all of you good luck with your MFA stuff. It is my first time applying, and it was painful, but waiting is more painful, I guess. How do you guys hang on ? I did not get any interview invites, but what are they asking after asking about your art work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend finding a way to mention how you plan on addressing diversity equity and inclusion. If they dont' ask directly, find a way to talk about it. US Federal law changed recently which means they can't explicitly accept people for DEI reasons, but it's important, and should be on everyone's mind, and just because they don't ask doesn't mean they're not waiting for you to talk about it. That's my advice. Other than that, just breath, relax, and talk naturally. Aki Sasamoto is very friendly especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you; that is something I would not have thought about, but I can definitely tailor it into one of my answers for why Yale for an MFA. Is there anything else you remember that was something to keep in mind? Presentation wise & what faculty will be the interviewers? Also, did you end up getting into sculpture? And if so or not did you receive that answer through a phone call or email, and what date was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
