inscho Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Just heard back (02.11.11) from MICA via email....got an interview for Mt Royal!
Curious12345 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) what is your work like? just curious... Very techno oriented, a lot of it is spanning the gamut of technology, I use scripts, found image, devices...all kinds of stuff. Here: www.chrissilva.net - go check it out, not everything there was in my portfolio and not all of my portfolio was stuff that is on there. Edited February 11, 2011 by racuerex

Well i guess you have to trust that people will accept you where you fit. That does not really soften the blow of rejection though. Im still waiting for mine to roll in! I guess we all get over it in time

I guess we all get over it in time Thanks, ya, just frustrating that so much of my future is wrapped in this weird decision making process that the schools go through.
sarah J Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 well, you dont _HAVE_ to go to grad school. I have friends who are doing great in the art world without. (they are amazing and work their butts off though!) I am mainly looking to get teaching experience to help support my art and a couple of years to focus on making stuff. tho the "stamp of approval" from somewhere famous would be good. I did not even apply to RISDI or Yale - it just frustrates me that there is this expected path that great artists must go through (which often involves huge debt) that said I would certainly love to be in the final 14 out of 900+ applicants. what an ego boost! Thanks, ya, just frustrating that so much of my future is wrapped in this weird decision making process that the schools go through.
slightlyunhappy Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 UCSB so far congrats! just curious, when did you get your application in? seems early for admittance since the deadline was a month ago, every other school i applied to has at least a 2 month wait for response. i applied for photo too, haven't heard anything.
slug Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Has anyone heard anything from Stanford? It doesn't seem like a very popular choice, but it's by far my top pick. I got an interview there last year, which they told me about on February 7th, so I'm getting nervous!
Artist1 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I have an interview with SMFA - Boston for March 5th - MFA Painting Yale - rejected Haven't heard from Columbia or Syracuse. Anyone hear from them yet?

Ya, its not that I don't want to go to grad school, you and I are in the same boat, we want teaching experience as well as a little time. I don't think there is a set path for me at all, I really only applied to schools I visited, and RISD seemed to be a fluke that i even ended up on that campus, even bigger fluke that I ran right into the head of the dept I wanted to apply to (steve smith) and got to sit and talk with him about the program. congrats! just curious, when did you get your application in? seems early for admittance since the deadline was a month ago, every other school i applied to has at least a 2 month wait for response. i applied for photo too, haven't heard anything. I got it in a little early, they called me about a week after the deadline stating that I had been accepted. I just recently about a week ago (jan 31st) got an official looking email from them saying that a decision is available for my application: "It is our pleasure to inform you that you have been admitted for graduate study at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Chancellor Henry T. Yang and I congratulate you and know that your academic studies will be both invigorating and rewarding. You have been admitted for Fall 2011 to the Department of Art for: -Master of Fine Arts (MFA)" Oh...and I forget what discipline I applied for...I think it was either photo or digital media...but their program the more I look at it seems like a good fit.

inscho Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 got an interview at SAIC, letter via snail mail today (2.12.11)!
Payne Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Congrats, inscho. I got one in the mail too! got an interview at SAIC, letter via snail mail today (2.12.11)!
inscho Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Congrats, inscho. I got one in the mail too! Excellent! congratulations to you as well! do you have any work online?
Another Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I got a rejection letter in the mail today from SAIC. I applied for 3 different departments, but the letter specifically says it's from the Fiber and Material Studies department. I guess that means I'm still waiting to hear from Painting and Drawing and Sculpture. Anybody else in the same boat?

I guess that means I'm still waiting to hear from Painting and Drawing and Sculpture. Anybody else in the same boat? Did you have three distinct bodies of work? Most schools require separate portfolios for each department you apply to. If so, that's an impressive amount of work!
Another Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Did you have three distinct bodies of work? Most schools require separate portfolios for each department you apply to. If so, that's an impressive amount of work! I submitted mostly the same work to all three departments. It's hard for me to fit into any one department because my practice is naturally interdisciplinary. My work is basically process oriented and very tied up in exploring materials and their various properties. I'm an object maker, but the things I make tend to defy categories. My portfolio includes a lot of what might be thought of as drawings, but I tend to describe them in traditionally sculptural terms. All my work is formally very tightly controlled, and even the work across different materials is clearly related. Anyway, if I got accepted to any one of those departments I'd likely be working in all three.
pickupsticks Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Not yet Please post if you hear anything-- also, do you know if they do interviews? Has anyone heard from VCU arts?
Mbgradschool Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 They do!! Not yet Please post if you hear anything-- also, do you know if they do interviews?
michaelwebster Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Did you have three distinct bodies of work? Most schools require separate portfolios for each department you apply to. If so, that's an impressive amount of work! SAIC doesn't stipulate anything about sharing work from one discipline to another, and the faculty in different areas don't check up on that stuff. to Another: if you get an interview in sculpture let me know who you are when you get here.
