whoisit Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 you want to go to philly anyway!!!! Philly is awesome, but man, UGA's program looks great! Mick, hopefully better news floats your way from GA! Sculptor, congrats!!! And yeah, these Tyler emails are a little bit like salt on the wound.
catawampus Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Just got an email from Hunter for Photo - denied. 2 down, 2 to go! Not looking too good for me this go-round. :[ Edited March 2, 2012 by catawampus
Chcole Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Congrats to the RISD interviewees! Has anyone heard from the printmaking department at RISD? I applied to RISD for printmaking and haven't heard yet. I recently met with the head of the department and he said they were going slow this year because they can only accept 6 people (they over enrolled last year because all 10 they let in said yes and decided to come) Good luck and congrats to all with good news! I received an email two nights ago saying I that was accepted to the RISD printmaking program!!! I'm beyond thrilled!!! I was told that I would get the official letter in a few days, so I'm waiting to receive that. Then I'm sure this will really start to sink in! Congratulations to everyone who is getting acceptances and best wishes to everyone else on schools and with your work!
RortyRorty Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Just finished my interview with MassArt. Still have yet to hear from any other programs. No email from Hunter, Im not sure what to think about that.
OutWest Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Sorry about the Hunter rejections, people I've heard that program is brutal to get into...aside from being top-notch, it's the best deal financially in NYC. They must get 500+ applications...if not more. Here's looking to better weeks ahead.
sympatico Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Sorry about the Hunter rejections, people I've heard that program is brutal to get into...aside from being top-notch, it's the best deal financially in NYC. They must get 500+ applications...if not more. Here's looking to better weeks ahead. 800 applications to 80 acceptances, according to the website.
sculptor Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks for the good vibes!!! Congrats on SMU!!!...and Sam Fox is no joke either. That's great!! There's nothing wrong with those under the radar schools. My last school is a little under the radar if I don't have any luck with UGA, but depending on what side of the bed I wake up on, somedays it's my top choice. Any money from SMU? Thanks, Mick! I am so grateful for my acceptances. SMU folks said that scholarship notifications are forthcoming. I'm curious to see what comes through with that. Man, if I end up in Dallas, I am seriously looking forward to that farmer's market! Mmmmm. Glad to hear that you're excited about the last school. Ratings are important and useful in making decisions, but instinct is important, too. If it feels right, you can't ignore that! Also, you never know what the future will hold for any school. Your lesser-known program might one day be a beacon in the art world, who knows? Still crossing my fingers for you about UGA though Keep us posted and good luck!
Mr. Sad Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Denied from Hunter via email. Me too. SUNY Buffalo too. For some perverse reason, I thought knowing would be better than not knowing. I was wrong. I put a lot of my hopes into this process. So, I am going to do the very stereotypical. Get drunk on Absinthe, and have Gauguin cut my ear off. Have a great weekend everyone. blkjwl 1
Song Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Congratulations on all the good news. SVA invited me to an interview! Yay. Now I 'just' need to pass the interviews... Edited March 3, 2012 by Song
l'artiste Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Congratulations on all the good news. SVA invited me to an interview! Yay. Now I 'just' need to pass the interviews... Wow congrats!! That's a pretty good record you got going there!
l'artiste Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 So, to all of those interviewing at CalArts via Skype on March 8 for Photo/Media.....has anyone heard a time time yet??? I still haven't gotten an email from the department, do you guys know what's going on?
Song Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Wow congrats!! That's a pretty good record you got going there! You too! Thank you very much! Good luck. : - >
bulbasuarez Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Congratulations on all the good news. SVA invited me to an interview! Yay. Now I 'just' need to pass the interviews... what program is this for?
Slowtrain Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I join the ranks of Hunter rejects. But was finally notified(snail mail, today) by UT Austin that I'm on their "Short Wait List". Does any have experience being on a wait list and then getting in?
Galkyd Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Me too. SUNY Buffalo too. For some perverse reason, I thought knowing would be better than not knowing. I was wrong. I put a lot of my hopes into this process. So, I am going to do the very stereotypical. Get drunk on Absinthe, and have Gauguin cut my ear off. Have a great weekend everyone. As a wise person said to me... "Their loss." I hear you about putting a lot of hopes into this...
RaphaelF_S Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 You can throw my name into the Hunter reject bucket... Here's to a good weekend and better news next week for everyone!
blkjwl Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Anyone hear from Indiana University? Edited March 3, 2012 by blkjwl
Mr. Sad Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 As a wise person said to me... "Their loss." I hear you about putting a lot of hopes into this... Thanks. I needed that.
losemygrip Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Just accepted to Cranbrook - but can I afford it? Oh this is tough. One good, but mid-tier school offering full tuition waiver and a substantial stipend, and another top-tier school that would likely require big loans to attend. I can't take this stress! It's good stress to be sure. Much better than no acceptances, but hard decisions never-the-less. Added pressure comes in that Cranbrook wants a deposit within 2 weeks. How can I decide when I still haven't heard from all schools? Cranbrook is highly rated to be sure. But offers no teaching experience and I want to teach when I'm done. So - Expensive, no teaching experience, but looks great on the diploma and I would undoubtedly grow greatly as an artist and have more doors opened for me in the way of exhibitions. Ohio State is not as highly rated but still a very good school. I like the 3-year nature of the program and I would get at least 2 years of teaching experience and possibly adjunct teaching opportunities with them afterwards. I get full tuition costs covered, plus a to-die-for medical/dental/vision insurance coverage for the whole family for pennies. Plus I get a very nice stipend that will cover a good part of my living expenses. I really need to hear back from RISD and VCU to help me decide what to do. Do not go to Cranbrook. I repeat: do not go to Cranbrook. If you want to teach, you're going to be much better off getting teaching experience with one of your other options. Not to mention the money you'll save.
