kathyliao Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Anyone heard back from SAIC re acceptance/rejection to their painting program AFTER having his/her interview there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brosenth1984 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have had multiple friends accepted already into the painting program at SAIC. From what i understand, they have already made their initial acceptances a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkroman Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 When I interviewed at SAIC they told me 3 weeks.... that was 2 weeks ago. I am still waiting to hear back from VCU as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtung Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Anyone heard back from SAIC re acceptance/rejection to their painting program AFTER having his/her interview there? Judging from last years postings in the results section of this website, SAIC contacted people via post for acceptances about 2 weeks after the interviews. I've heard of people hearing by phone from other programs, but painting seems to do everything by mail. At least, I hope that is still the case, as I haven't heard anything, either!

yousername Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Applied to Fibers, Sculpture, Performance and Interdisciplinary programs SMFA Boston- Accepted 3/8 MassArt SIM- Accepted 3/19 MassArt Sculpture- Interviewed 3/18 No word yet CalArts- Interviewed 3/9 No word yet Edit- Rejected 2/23 SAIC Fibers- Interviewed 3/7 No word yet SAIC Performance and Sculpture- Rejected MICA Sculpture & Mt Royal- No word yet After visiting MassArt, they are at the top of my list. I was really blown away by some of their equipment rooms and studios. MICA rates higher, but I haven't had the chance to visit yet and it is almost twice the price of MassArt. I have to let MassArt know within 3 weeks if I want to accept, but I want to know what is going on with MICA (and possibly visit there) before I make my decision. Has anyone out there heard from Rinehart or Mt Royal? SAIC is amazing, but I don't think I really want to be in a Fibers program if I have the option of being in an interdis or Sculpture program. I think Massart is great. Do they have a good rep, in spite of being lower in the rankings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 MFA-Photography SFAI - accepted SAIC - interviewed, waiting (not holding my breath, they only have four spots this year.) CalArts - rejected Yale - rejected RISD - no response (not a good sign!) CCA - no response When I was submitting my applications I was just hoping at least ONE school would let me in. And now as it looks like SFAI will be the only school to admit me, I feel it must be inferior. Is this normal? Now I'm doubting the quality of the school. Plus it's the least selective school I applied to. Has anyone else experienced this weird confusion/regret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssap Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 man, I hear that! I also got into only one school (CCA) out of the four I applied to, and for me it's a local school as I'm a long-time SF bay area resident. So I'm feeling a bit of lameness even though i should be grateful that at least that school accepted me. It's not as exciting thinking about living in the same exact house when the first day of school rolls around... Plus I feel like the other people rejected me but this school wants me... ah ha, they must have lower standards! Bizarre self-bashing psychology, I mean I woudn't have applied there in the first place if I had actually thought that it was a crappy program. As for your situation Muffin, SFAI may be sliding down hills, but I know that their photo department is still respected so I wouldn't be too down about it. good luck!

cd3 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 any news from Hunter anyone? I couldn't take it any longer, so I just called the grad dept to ask when they would be notifying us, and how. The woman wasn't entirely specific, but she said we should hear by the end of the week (and most likely by phone if it's an acceptance) - and that she assumed rejection notices would too be finished by the end of the week, some email, some postal. So basically it's nothing that I didn't already assume, but it eased my anxiety for a few minutes, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrystgirl Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Alright, here we go (I guess you'd call me "New Genres"): Bard - Rejected UCLA - Rejected Columbia U - Rejected Stanford - Rejected American - Accepted UC Irvine - Accepted Carnegie-Mellon - Accepted I'm deciding between UCI and CMU. I feel very blessed to be making such a decision, but it is very, very, stressful given that it would be better for my family to stay in California. Any thoughts or insights about either program, or the programs in comparison, please email me off-list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenmariepainter Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 i emailed boston university to inquire about my admission decision for mfa painting. They emailed me the rejection letter a few minutes ago. [sigh] :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.g Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Glad I found this board. I had a hard time finding information about acceptances/rejections. I applied to SFAI (mfa, painting, low residency program) and have not heard. I'm inclined to take that as a bad sign as it seems many folks have received acceptances over the last few weeks. I'll still keep my fingers crossed just in case and post an update when I hear something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libbybarbee Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Here's my update: RISD: no SAIC: no to MFA, still waiting to hear back about post-bac CALARTS: no Pratt: no SFAI: accepted to studio program, waiting to hear back about the dual program SVA: accepted- received acceptance letter yesterday CCA: received a rejection letter today that in light of my studio defecit offered me acceptance to their BFA program (a little concerning considering that I hold a BFA in Painting and a BFA in Art History) Oh well MICA: ? Otis: ? Art Center: ? Carnegie Mellon: no UCLA: no UT: no So, it looks like a will be deciding between SVA, SFAI, and possibly SAIC's post-bac. I know everyone seems to be against the post bac programs, but I just found out that a large percentage of SAIC's post bacs go into their MFA program. Any thoughts? Also, does anyone know much about SVA? If I don't get into the dual program at SFAI then it will be no contest between SVA and SFAI, but if I do get into the dual program I might have to think about it. Does anyone have any advice?
