Posted (edited)

its odd because I know my recs sent them a while ago. Im going along thinking they are at the bottom of the gigantic pile and she will find them on the last possible second. At this point I don't care if I'm not good enough for the second time around, I just don't want to be "disqualified" for missing letters. I've spend waaaaay to much time and energy into these applications.

April 15 is the typical deadline for acceptance set by the Council of Graduate Schools. Some schools don't follow that date, the list is available as a PDF here http://www.cgsnet.org/?tabid=201. If they are on that list, then they shouldn't be asking you to commit before April 15th. And schools know your applying to many, its not impolite or insulting to ask to wait. They expect it.

Thank you, that is helpful information. I'll be happy if I get to put your advice to good use!

does royal college of arts accept portfolio after the deadline ,my application was submitted on time

The website has 25 January as a deadline for most Portfolios, and yesterday (30th) for an "extended" deadline for Painting (if that is your interest)...so, oops...

They might, if they received your application, and they are missing your portfolio. I would email them ASAP, including your portfolio as an attachment. The person who is in charge of admissions for painting is really nice. If you aren't applying to painting then i don't know!

ALSO it's finally february everyone. Hopefully that means we will hear more soon!

(Yale notified people as early as the 4th of feb last year)

Indeed. I gave in and looked at last years thread, I believe it was Davis that people heard from on the second!

Happy February! Does this seem like the calm before the storm? ;)

I also think somebody heard from Tyler about an interview for the sculpture program by Feb 3. AAH!

Ugh, I feel like I should have applied to more schools...

How many schools did you apply to? I'm sure if they're schools that you think will be a good match for you, you will have nothing to worry about.

Got the Davis email. I'm guessing no news is bad news from Berkeley though if others have heard for interviews?

Posted

That's nice that Davis gives a date and time. Did Davis have an early deadline? My earliest was Jan. 7, and I'm hoping any day now...

Received an email this morning notifying me that I was shortlisted at Tyler, interview pending(work and travel plans) for February 19, 11 am.

EEP! hope i don't get mauled by an eager grad student.

Posted (edited)

Oh my! I'm jealous that you have heard already!

but congrats!

(and i'm sure you will hold your own, grad student front :) )

Waiting...

This has been a rough influence on my work. It has all been hectic lately and a bit more frenetic. Anyone else noticing trends in their current work?

Ack now I'm freaking out since I didn't get an email from Tyler! I'm going to assume it's because I applied for painting. *deep breath*

Yes, definitely. My work has taken a completely new/unexpected direction, too. I think I'm trying to feel like I'm in control of something.

yes! I went through the same motions, but last year painting heard a week later than sculpture. (not time to freak out yet :ph34r:)
