prosthetic_head Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Just had my SMFA interview. It went okay, I think... hard to know what I might have been able to do better. also got a rejection from Tyler printmaking this morning, which I expected.

I’ve had two interviews (University of Arizona and UT Austin) and I’m also wondering what I could’ve done better. I found it hard to read the groupings of individuals during the interview
sundayscaries Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Had my interview for Sam Fox and I thought it went well. Anyone else? also my friend just got an interview request from Alfred, so those are going out now.
manti Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I got an interview at Hunter. Let it be known that analytics might not be a sign of anything unlikely012 1

I found it hard to read the groupings of individuals during the interview Yeah, one of my interviewers didn't really say much and there were only two, when 3 were listed on the zoom invite so it kind of threw me off. They also asked a question that sounded more like something you'd hear in a job interview about "challenges I've overcome" but it was so broad it really stumped me for a moment. I think I sounded passionate about my work though, so hopefully that plays out in my favor! Oscar25 1
orangebean Posted February 3 Posted February 3 does Columbia send out interviews to everyone? At the same time for all disciplines?

Sometimes thinking you did awesome is just false confidence. Can I ask what types of questions they asked you? I have one with them on Thursday. prosthetic_head 1
unlikely012 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 First time posting but thought I might as well share: This is my first time applying--less than 2 years out from undergrad so I wasn't super optimistic but surprisingly happy with my results so far. Applied for painting for all programs (unless interdisciplinary) SVA: Interviewed MICA: Received interview invite this morning, scheduled for next week Hunter: nothing yet (and based on others' posts that they've received invites I'm expecting a rejection) Yale: nothing yet BU: nothing yet Pratt: nothing yet Rutgers: nothing yet Fingers crossed for the rest and good luck everyone!!!

Can I ask what types of questions they asked you? I have one with them on Thursday. They were pretty straightforward--what I've been doing and what I want to do in grad school, artists I like, how my work fits in with the contemporary conversation, and then one that felt sort of out of left field about a challenge I've overcome recently (I can't recall the exact phrasing but it involved the word "community," I thought it was weird tbh).

ChainLink Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Hi! Wanted to share This is my first time applying to schools, honestly this whole process has been incredibly nerve wracking, but I'm trying to stay hopeful throughout it! All my applications have been for painting, or interdisciplinary programs. Rutgers: nothing yet Hunter: nothing yet, but saw some other people have had an interview request so figured it might be a no SAIC: Interviewing next week! Yale: nothing yet Decided not to go to the SAIC interview in person, its pretty costly and far from me. Good luck to everyone! unlikely012 1

kamlee Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I have an interview with RISD this week for graphic design!! ✨ I am super nervous, has anyone interviewed with them before? How did it go? This is my first time applying and they are the first school to get back to me. I am still waiting on: Yale Cranbrook Cal Arts SVA Art Center

I don't know if they send out interviews to all disciplines at the same time, but I received an interview invite from Columbia for photography on Jan 30th. I haven't heard back from anywhere else yet (Yale, Hunter, Bard).
sundayscaries Posted February 4 Posted February 4 welp, just for fun, who else thinks Yale is sending invites/rejections today? good luck to everyone with interviews, and those still waiting! unlikely012 1

I am nowhere near mentally prepared!!! Still can’t wrap my head around the idea that it could be any day now. Do they typically send out rejections and interview invites simultaneously? For some reason I thought they sent out rejections a few days later based on previous years’ threads but could definitely be getting it mixed up
Local_Director Posted February 4 Posted February 4 what time of the day does yale send out invitations/rejections?

frogpainter Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Just got a rejection email from UW Madison, it's the first school I've heard from either way so at least glad to be knowing something! Has anyone heard from Michigan? They were my school with the earliest application date so I'm assuming it'll be a rejection...
