5280stwu Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Same here! My sesh was delayed for around 5 min, almost sent an email to check the status! There were only 3 questions with a follow up, but the last follow up kinda caught me off guard 😬 Hope all of us get our ideal offer 🤞

More data is always helpful: SAIC (Painting/Drawing): Interview invite on Jan 28, Interview on Feb 2 UCLA (Design Media Arts): Interview invite on Jan 29, Interview on Feb 6 CMU: No response, no portal update Yale (Painting/Printmaking): No response, no portal update VCU (Painting/Printmaking): No response, no portal update UWisconsin: Rejection on Feb 3 (I had last-minute slideroom issues and wasn't able to submit my portfolio but I had already applied on the grad application portal. So not surprised by the rejection!) Does CMU have a portal? Did I miss something?!?
No-Evidence8843 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Is there anyone who has been through multiple admission cycles, that frequented past forums, that can answer this: do some schools send interview invites in batches, since some folks have received interview request earlier this week, while others have no status updates? could this leave a possibility that they can still get an interview request later this week or next week? Very importantly, has anyone seen schools do this?

When you say you didn't get invited by Yale, is that because you haven't heard anything yet, or did you get a rejection letter? Yeah rejection email from yale. rutgers is end of the month two zoom options and one in person option No-Evidence8843 1

L4mp Posted February 5 Posted February 5 8 hours ago, marxista said: same! I asked about AI art and their position about it—happy to report they are very critical and serious around the topic. They did say they received around 250 applications and there are only 12 slots tho… and its expensive :,( Wow I'm surprised... If the admin rate is 4.8% then it's even lower than the stats of ucla dma from last year. I'm international and hoping to get around 50% aid, but that seems a little bleak... For the questions I asked about TA opportunities and they do offer many, like how right now there are two student-taught classes marxista 1

I head somewhere they give one full ride per cohort in each dpt

I already have a MPH degree from Yale back in 2001 so they probably didn't want me again LOL

I see you're in creative writing so it may not be applicable to me (painting) but this silence from yale is killing me noplace 1

No email, no portal update, no invite, no rejection. Nothing. And I think the general lack of people saying they got Yale painting invites or rejections, means we are all in the same boat here (so don't worry ur not alone in ur panic! trust that refreshing my email has become a full time job loll)
