creamypencil Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Creamy pencil did they notify you of any funding? not yet, the officier said properly the financial result will be released after 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transit Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Anyone apply to Tyler or Syracuse? I applied to Syracuse for Art Photography. I haven't heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fool4nine Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just declined offers from Washington University in St. Louis, SIUC, and Ohio University (not photojournalism). Hopefully that opens up something for others. I'm still weighing the options on the other schools but leaning hard toward the funding offer from OSU.

Whippet Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Fool4nine - I went to OSU for my BFA in Photography. If you (or anyone) have any questions about the department, OSU, or Columbus, feel free to ask. Your work is beautiful, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagonzalez5 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Received acceptance from SVA via Email on March 8th... Yahoo, New York, I am coming~ Good Luck Guys. Hi Decaf! did SVA MFA Photo called you for an interview before you heard of your acceptance via email on March 8th? On their site they say they'll notify everyone via mail on April 1st... and that's what I've been waiting for... but I think it might be a no if I haven't heard from them yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebihal Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 No, she wrote elsewhere that they didn't interview her.

lagonzalez5 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hello all! this is my introduction. My name is Laura. I have only applied to three schools: RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology), SVA (School of Visual Arts), and ICP-Bard (International Center of Photography and Bard). My main priority is to stay in New York City (I did my photo undergrad at Parsons), but RIT has called and accepted me! offering quite a generous amount of money in scholarship, plus money in assistantship. ICP-Bard called me for an interview two weeks ago, and they said they would notified within a week. I still haven't heard from them. They say they interviewed about 30 people, and about 12 people get in. Has anyone here applied to their program, interviewed, and heard anything back? Finally, SVA is the longest wait. They say on their site they will notify via email on April 1st. Has anyone else heard from SVA prior to this date? Nervewrecking. Fingers crossed, but am ready for a no. And regarding Rochester... I am just so insecure about the idea of moving from the city to Rochester. What about the contacts, the clients, all the stuff I've build up in NYC? Will Rochester be challenging? Any piece of advice you guys might have, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagonzalez5 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 me neither, I don't know what to make o this news, has anyone else heard back? I'm on the same boat. I thought they said ALL admissions decisions were sent via mail on April 1st. I didn't think there were already people accepted via email. I don't know what to make of these news either.

Fool4nine Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) on a sunday?? It was a personal call from a professor. Was anyone else accepted?? I guess they lied to me, because I was told that they were going to coordinate acceptances with other departments. I do not know if anyone else was accepted. I would not say they "lied" to you. Again, it was a personal call from a professor, not a call from the graduate office. They may still be "coordinating" official letters from departments. Don't give up yet. I've have not accepted anything yet and it is likely that neither has anyone else. Edited March 18, 2012 by Fool4nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fool4nine Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hey guys and gals Anyone have thoughts or experiences or insights or feelings or comments or the like on or about the photo program at RISD? Anyone accepted and going to attend? The photo dept. chair, Steven Smith, did his undergrad at my university. I don't know him personally but I have spoken to him a couple of times via email and he seems like a really nice guy. I purchased his book as I like his work quite a bit and wish I had been accepted there. What's not to like about such a renowned program? One thing in RISDs favor over Yale - Yale seems to only hire Yale graduates. While RISD faculty are from all over. This tells me that Yale is perhaps very insular and not as open to finding the "right" faculty no matter where they went to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response Where did you two do your under graduate studies? Yeah, he does seem like a genuinely nice fellow. So, don't get me wrong, I think the program is great, but just wondered if anyone had any first hand or second hand experience with it. The faculty are stellar, from their personal work strength to their accomplishments to the diversity of the portfolios, which is a great blend. There just seems to be so much information and commenting about the top program, Yale, and its philosophies but not much about the next two, in order, SAIC and RISD. Though RISD is generally considered to top fine art school in the country, I am speaking specifically of the Photo Department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though RISD is generally considered to top fine art school in the country, I am speaking specifically of the Photo Department. Utah State University. Yale is talked about because it is an Ivy League school, a traditional university with a worldwide reputation and has been number 1 or near the top in a number of specialties for a long time. RISD, being an art and design school, is relatively unknown outside of the art world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
