I got an informal offer from the dept. head over email. Followed up with a zoom meeting last week. Got the formal offer in an email after the meeting and then randomly another one via email from someone different today. Haven’t looked at the portal

Hi I’m also a painting student. I received a formal offer on February 28, but I still haven’t received a financial aid package...

Was anyone here accepted to UC Berkeley Art Practice?

my friend just heard from them last week, pretty sure they said it was an informal acceptance, so don't lose hope!

Thank you! TBH now I'm realizing that I am not a good fit for this program (probably should have given this application a little more thought before applying) looking at all their current candidates and alumni. They are all pretty much interdisciplinary artist and my portfolio currently is pretty photo focused. It's ok tho and I just wanted to see if someone here was able to get in already so I can let this go! I learned a lot on this round of applications.

Hi, does anyone have any information or experience with being waitlisted for NYU's MFA Studio Art program? How possible is it to be accepted from the list? Any time frame for when they will start considering students from the list? Really like the program, but I want to set appropriate expectations for it...

Thanks:)

When did you have your interview? I had mine on March 3rd, and I still haven’t heard back from them. This is one of the slowest schools I’ve ever seen. 

I tried call them, but the student who answered said they didn’t know when the decision would be announced either.

My interview was in late February. Unfortunately, I am not sure if they are releasing decisions on a rolling base

Has anyone received an acceptance to the U of O MFA? I interviewed in February and just got a form email saying essentially "sorry it's taken so long but we've just made our decisions" last week, but no official word yet.

when i was waitlisted they let us know acceptances were already out. so if i had to guess all that’s left are the rejections/some extra waitlist if enough ppl elect to remove themselves from the waitlist.

Maybe we're screwed? My applicant portal still says “Submitted.” Is it that hard to send out rejection letters? They should have sent them out sooner. Just like Oxford University—I received my rejection letter back in early February.

Lol i know I’m just hoping that they’re sending out in batches and haven’t decided for ppl interviewed on march 3rd. I too have no updates on the portal

Whatever. I never liked NYU anyway. I went to a similar school for my undergrad. The business and engineering schools were the stars of the whole university, while other departments were neglected or underfunded. The place was full of finance bros and frat boys. They hype up their alumni network like it’s some kind of cult, but unless you end up on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley, those networks are completely useless.

I dislike NYU a lot too. Nice bookstore. In any case, here you go: https://www.cair-ny.org/news/1/13/25/cair-ny-condemns-nyus-collective-punishment-of-pro-palestine-students

Why go to a school which suppresses freedom of speech?

does anyone have any thoughts / can help me think through Pratt, MICA and Goldsmiths for painting? 

I've heard MICA is a really really good program especially for painting. UK schools like Goldsmiths are kind of elitist in the sense that its dominated by rich international kids who act poor for fun. Their program is also very self-directed compared to US schools. I would go with MICA. I'm also waiting to hear back from Pratt for sculpture but I got into MICA for Mount Royal as well as Goldsmiths but I think I would still prefer to go to MICA over Pratt
