I actually just got a phone call hahaha. Do you think you’ll go to the accepted students weekend? I’d love to connect crash1996 1

orangeorangecake Posted March 1 Posted March 1 5 hours ago, Björk said: Updates: UCSD - Accepted Carnegie Mellon - Accepted VCU - Had a positive interview, but no news yet. Cornell - Silence UCLA - Silence My discipline is photo, though I applied to interdisciplinary programs. UCSD's program has great reviews, is fully funded, and it flies a bit under the radar, which I appreciate. Due to funding cuts from the federal government, they had to cut what was a three year program down to two. This kind of hobbles the appeal for me. Carnegie Mellon has a three-year, fully-funded program. It's a private university, so theoretically there's less for me to worry about as the feds try to root out whatever integrity is left in higher education. I'm fairly confident I'll be accepted into VCU as well. Unless UCLA comes with a gangbusters offer, I think I know where I'll go. Even if UCLA did make an offer, I have some issues with their administration's politics. They're not as bad as Columbia, but... Cornell can eat my shorts. Their application process was a mess. I don't expect to hear anything. Someone mentioned getting an interview invitation from Cornell last Monday, but I haven't heard anything! Björk 1

I interviewed for fine arts with a concentration in printmaking. they asked me the basic questions, why mfa now and why pratt, pulled up my portfolio and asked me to describe some works, asked me questions about my interests relating to my portfolio (i had animation so they asked what my favorite movie was), who is an artist i take inspiration from. it was so casual that i thought i was rambling like how i talk normally to my peers because the interviewers started talking amongst themselves as well. BUT! I got my acceptance less than a week later!! prepare enough so you can answer their questions with ease but dont be too nervous. i think they do a great job at making the conversation flow well. it was so much more relaxed than another interview i had, which was boston university, which i got rejected from!! good luck!!!
TyT Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Hi, has anyone heard back from UCLA DMA? I saw someone post their offer on a Chinese forum, but I'm not sure if it's real or not, because the account belongs to a study abroad agency, and I thought DMA usually sends out their offers in early to late March?

VaaanV Posted March 1 Posted March 1 8 minutes ago, Cclaura said: Es interdisciplinario, así que supongo que se trata de toda la gente del estudio de arte del MFA. Yeas, They have different areas: 2D, 3D, and Extended Media Studies, Photography, Video and Imaging, and Interdisciplinary Practice. To be honest, I haven't heard anyone else mention getting an interview or being rejected. That's why I wanted to know if there's any news about the Photography, Video, and Imaging area.

I specifically interviewed for photography/video/imaging. They gave me about six interview slots to choose from, so I don’t think they interviewed many ppl. Edited March 1 by Cclaura

I haven’t heard back yet. I really felt good about the interview tho! I’m flying to Tucson at the end of March to check out the town because I’ve never been there before and want to make sure it’s a good fit if they do accept me. 🤞🏽 I’ve also interviewed for 6 other places, other than Oregon, Arizona was my favorite.

So the amount of time between then and now makes me second and third and forth guess myself. Lol. Just tell me one way or the other! The result just came out. I got waitlisted 🥲
