artstudent555 Posted February 11 Posted February 11 yelloooowww:) I've been keeping up with the forum regularly, but I have a few questions for y'all out there. Have any of you applied for Columbia printmaking? I have not heard anything, so I am wondering if they have already sent out interviews. Also, is there any news from UCLA (painting)or Northwestern for you all who have been interviewed? Or when we may be hearing back? good luck everyone!
Frank0000000 Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Just got my rejection from the University of New Mexico, which makes FOUR rejections so far (Yale, Rutgers, and Carnegie Mellon). <\3 This is my third cycle applying, I really thought I had a good chance this time around and now I’m worried !! Anyone heard back from UC irvine, University of Michigan, or Herron by chance?

Anyone heard back from UC irvine, University of Michigan, or Herron by chance? Ugh I'm really sorry to hear that. Can I ask when you heard back from Rutgers? I am still in the dark about them, I assume now that it's a no, I just wish schools would send out formal rejections, or anything? unlikely012 1

I got in to SVA fine arts painting too and I think it's my top choice but I still want to hear back on my other apps. I still have two interviews and I don't think I'll hear back from all the school for 3+ weeks. Have you heard anything about financial aid from SVA yet? No word on financial aid for me—which is definitely a requirement before I commit anywhere! And unfortunately no information about a timeline for financial aid notification either Plausiblefox 1

Nothing in spam or the portal though—maybe they send out notifications in batches as they review applications? I think SVA did that but not sure if it’s a common thing.

Based on last year's thread they sent out invites between Feb 8-16 so I've got my fingers crossed for this week. I applied in painting/printmaking. Actually I checked and it was only 1.5 weeks ago, looks like my sense of time might be a little warped by the anticipation and checking my inbox repeatedly 🤪😂 is anyone else getting acceptance emails in their dreams 😭 unlikely012, dj_buckweed07 and prosthetic_head 3

I remember when I applied to the BFA program, information about scholarships and the amount was sent with the acceptance letter, but only if you were chosen for scholarship. Idk if it's the same for the mfa program too though. I am just hoping to get word soon bc as an international student financial aid is definitely needed 😐 Plausiblefox 1

This is my first time applying for an MFA, so I'm really curious about the questions they asked! What kind of questions should I prepare for? Interview preparation is really tough.. Hey! I had mine with RISD sculpture 2 days ago. Hope I'm not catching you too late to help. The group was extremely attentive and kind. They asked me questions like...where do you get your ideas from and how do you make meaning? what do you think about the relationship between teaching art and making it? do you think artists have a social/moral responsibility? Why RISD/why now?
unlikely012 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I know Rutgers has already sent out interview requests, but has anyone received an official rejection yet?

I'm waiting to hear from VCU, CMU, UPENN, UCONN, University of Georgia, and University of Florida cant know for sure, but I've seen some vcu and cmu interviews in this thread so far. it could be bad news if you haven't hear anything. can't remember seeing anything about upenn and uconn so that's good!
sillygooseart Posted February 12 Posted February 12 For the people interviewing with purchase, when did you schedule your interview? Mine is tomorrow and I’m nervous! olayak 1
