leee Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Depending on how many they accept into your specific program, probably double that or a little more from what I've found. (accept 6 - 8, interviewed 12- 20) OutWest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentyme Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just got on and decided to join the conversation. Applying for MFA Painting, Here's my list: Applied: MICA (Hoffberger & Mt. Royal), UNC Chapel Hill, RISD, Berkeley, UPenn, Rutgers, PAFA, VCU Does anyone have any idea when UNC typically gives interviews, they are my top choice right now. Good Luck Everyone!

UNC doesn't interview, they make acceptances based on the application only. I know you should be hearing from them soon if you get in, I was definitely notified in early or mid-February when I applied. greentyme and miyamoto81 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miyamoto81 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 i wonder how many people they interview I think almost everyone on this forum who applied to Cal Arts was requested for an interview? So I'm guessing that there will be a lot of people. I'm on the east coast and I'm debating if it's worth it for me to go to LA for it. If I do go, I will probably try to see the other schools that I applied to while I am out there. Just depends if I can come up with the cash. To go or not to go . . .

greentyme Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks michaelwebster ! Sorry, I didn't know what the up and down arrows were for and I accidentally voted the post down, whatever that means. But I definitely appreciate your feedback. I really hope that I hear something soon--did you apply last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that I hear something soon--did you apply last year? I applied 2 years ago, so it definitely could have changed since then. Have you visited UNC already?

womp_womp Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Anyone who has been interviewed by calarts before?? I am so nervous right now =( Yeah it's pretty basic. They ask about your work - the themes they picked up, specific pieces they might want to know more about, what you're working on now - & why you want to go to the program you're applying to.

Any tips much appreciated! Congrats to everyone with interviews and acceptances! Congrats! Best advice I've seen is to just take this as an opportunity to speak about your work, just like you have in the past. Don't think of all that hangs on this, as I know the air is thick. Be conversational and not too defensive about your work, but explain why it stands up against art that is currently being produced. Be positive and energetic about the program, sell yourself and be confident in what you say, even if you're second guessing it in your head. Best of luck!
