Not yet -- I'm also wondering. I applied in New Genres.

I also applied to New Forms.

@ Jayy: Did you get the whole interview schedule already? Was it just for painting or the whole Fine Arts course?

I am not sure, but they said that "Pratt Interview for Fall 2011 Master of Fine Arts Program"

Hi there,

I'm the same, I got waitlisted and have now an interview for tomorrow!

Awesome! Good luck! You'll have to let us know how it goes. Are you going in person or over the phone/Skype? I'm going in person since I've never visited the campus.

They emailed me and stated taht i am ranked high on the waitlist and that they would like to set up an interview in case of people not taking their offers. Not sure how many people they will invite though, I guess it is depending on how high you are ranked on the waiting list!

Hope that helps.

For those of you with interviews, how did they let you know? in the letter or did they contact you after?

Is anyone on the forum going to Pratt? If so, why have you decided on this program? I'd love to hear all thoughts about what makes this program a good choice.

@savethewolves: how did your interview go?

I had a tour of the campus from a first year grad student and she was really happy with the program. She also felt like the proximity to NYC was a huge asset because there were that many more

opportunities, not only for exhibiting but for internships in museums and galleries. She had just dropped off work for a gallery show.

The program sounds like it is super supportive of whatever style or media you work in. They have a breadth and depth of styles and media with the same in the caliber of their teachers.

Hi cobalt - interview was good though I felt a bit "grilled." I got some good critical feedback, though.

I ended up getting accepted, but decided Pratt is just too large of a program for me... and could ultimately feel a bit impersonal. It is also really expensive.

But I hope it is perfect for you and you go there if you want to!

Pratt is a terrible school. Don't waste your money. Seriously. I just lost a year of my life and $60K and have nothing to show for it. Most of my friends feel the same way.

^ That's worrying!

I do think it's terribly unprofessional of Pratt to only have compiled and submitted my application to my department last week even though I submitted it fully complete January 5!

Even if I get accepted, I won't be able to do anything about it after March 30.

They told me that too...but I'm still pretty excited about it and NYC.

Advice on interview anyone?

^ Don't jinx it! Maybe it's your lucky day and you're going to get an acceptance from Columbia too! :D

Haha I already got the rejection...I expected it, I couldn't replace the draft of my statement with the misused word on it...yeah I really should have worked harder for those application, but for the longest time all this just didn't seem real.

Take the processing of your application as a note of how the school is. They don't care about you and you will spend your entire education fighting bureaucracy and teachers that just do not care. Also, if you are getting aid or funding, don't count on getting it for at least four weeks after each term starts. The appeal of NYC is not worth the trouble and angst you will endure at Pratt. It will take away your desire to even do anything fun because it consumes you. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have not met or spoken with one person that feels even partially satisfied with the education here. This place is a degree factory robbing you of your money and giving nothing in return. I have actually begun to acquire legal counsel with some others to sue on the basis of educational malpractice.
