I was on speaker phone and had a hard time hearing them. Simple questions. also I was a little preoccupied by the pain from slicing open my finger from a new chisel this morning. Thank god i didnt cut any nerves or tendons. getting the stiches was the most painful part. oieeeeeee. @ berto and liam.zev - What programs were you applying to at U. Oregon? I was told that painting applicants would be notified mid-to-late March...

I don't know what the time frame for painting is, but I know somebody who applied in painting and he has yet to hear back (so you're not alone!). Edited March 1, 2012 by liam.zev
ebihal Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 has anyone who interviewed at MassArt heard back yet??

inkhouse Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Anyone heard from Rutgers who designated sculpture as a concentration? Or Cornell in general?

Resendes8909 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I received an e-mail with a pdf version of a letter that has also been mailed to me from my top choice program today.... Stating that I have been placed on a waitlist. It also states that there are less than 10 spots this year, a huge number of applicants, and that the waitlist is very short. Aaaannnd that it could be several weeks before they know *my* status. oy ve. Trying to stay optimistic.... I have yet to receive a real rejection yet, so I should be so lucky, right? But this one school is the absolute perfect fit for me and I can't help but hope that one or a few of those accepted pick a different program or just simply drop of the face of the earth. Sorry for being secretive - if you want to know which school it is you can PM me. I am weirdly superstitious Edited March 1, 2012 by Mindfields88

Congrats on the studio space. Sounds like a fun project. I've been looking at grants and residencies because I am starting to feel the same way about universal rejection. Sigh.

zecchi Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Question: Is anyone having difficulties making work during this intense waiting game? My productivity has been transferred into checking my email every few minutes while in the studio... I think I need to start leaving my laptop at home Eboni_Rain 1

How did you hear about it? it was actually weird and humbling... The interview started by the director of the program saying they (the committee) had just finished looking at my work for the tenth time, and that they found my work to be REALLY strong and after one question they told me I don't need an MFA. She told me to email her the invitation for my first exhibit. I told hear she would be the first on my list.

In my interview the program director also said she really liked enjoyed reading my statement and looking at my work... but now I don't know what to expect!

(Though I'm sure after spending the time and money on the application, it would have helped to know that beforehand.) Honestly, I think that's the main thing missing from all of this: the realization that people are still people. I think it speaks wonders of the program to have them be so invested in you - someone whom they aren't taking on - to let you know why they aren't accepting you and to give you some encouragement despite that fact, rather than just sending a generic "we have many qualified applicants, blah blah blah."

I was told by Anine Wagenhoffer, the Administrative Assistant at Mason Gross that "decisions happen from the middle to end of March"-- exact words. Keep in there!!
