gouache Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Has anyone gotten in or rejected or anything from UCSB? I know I'm being obsessive but I can't help it. Last year I know people heard back 1 week after the deadline, but this year they were on vacation that week, and just got back this week. Anyway...anyone?
LovelyPainter Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Really? One week after the deadline? That would be amazing....From looking at posts from Last years I'd give it two more weeks....hang tight! I'm a hopin and wishin too
gouache Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 well, i got an email from jane callister letting me know i was rejected. they accepted 1 painter this year and had 7 spots.
brown06 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 ditto, looking back I can see it wouldn't have been the best fit. For some reason it seemed as though they took at least 2-3 painters, I wouldn't want to be the only painter. Even though I am very interested in interdisciplinary work I would still like peers who work from paint as well.
susanbanthony69 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry to hear, best of luck with the rest of your applications. When did you guys get the e-mail? I haven't received anything from them yet.
brown06 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I emailed Jane personally to introduce myself and then she replied saying thanks and explaining she could only take 1 person this year and so on and so forth
susanbanthony69 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I'm guessing gouache did the same? Personally, it kind of seems strange to put someone on the spot like that.
gouache Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 ucsb said a few times on their website that they want you to contact professors during/before the application process. I just emailed to introduce myself and reiterate my interest in the program and her work, i didn't ask for any results info. she just responded by telling me i wasn't accepted etc.
brown06 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 umm... no i didnt ask for my results, nor would I ever have. I was unable to visit personally so I emailed to say hi (and nothing more) to the professor I was interested in working with, which like Gouache said was recommended on the site.
Curious12345 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 They have sent out all of their acceptances in case anyone was wondering..
