WvOvMutilation Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 VCU (Fiber) No Response SAIC (Fiber) Interviewed this Weekend MassArt (3D) Interview 3.23.2009 SMFA Accepted 3.8.2009 MICA (Mount Royal) No Response [i did a self-scheduled interview with Frances on 2.6.2009]
ssap Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 cmlar & WvOvMut..., did the SAIC Fibers dept contact you through snail mail to schedule the interview or another method? This is heart-breaking news, that dept was my #1 choice and I'd put in so much time meeting various people there and conversing with them for the last three years. :cry: I'd even shown my work to Joan Linvingston in the fall and she gave me so much positive feedback and said that she'd personally like to work with me... what gives? A heavy sigh. Did they indicate that it was also an overwhelmingly competitive year for their dept? thx.

RKSim Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Either way.. congrats on Ohio w/full funding! I am doing a show in 2010 with 2 grads from Ohio that are currently doing some very interesting work.
beaks Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 How have you guys been hearing back from CCA? I'm frakin anxious.. they're my number one pick right now.. I got an email from the professor who interviewed me. I haven't received any official notice yet, maybe yours is coming?

WvOvMutilation Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 cmlar & WvOvMut..., Did the SAIC Fibers dept contact you through snail mail to schedule the interview or another method? Did they indicate that it was also an overwhelmingly competitive year for their dept? They sent snail mail to schedule an interview in early Feb. There were about 30ish people interviewing and another ten or so they talked to on the phone. Ten slots are available in the department (2 post-bac spots) and what they said was the highest number applicants ever. The people I talked to at the interview were amazing. Several were from post-bac programs at competitive schools like MICA and SMFA. They said they will send out letters at the end of the month but the other grads told me they will call this week if you're in. Sorry to hear you were invested in that program. It is amazing and I would encourage you to contact other members of the department about applying next year. The SAIC Fibers department is full of very generous and warm faculty.
cd3 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Did anyone else apply to SVA? Or know if they do interviews? I can't find any postings from this year, or years past, where someone was interviewed. Strange.
sarahb78 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Sounds like everyone is starting to hear more this week- thought I'd add in my schools (applied for Sculpture)... Yale- rejected Cal Arts- rejected Bard- rejected Mills- accepted (yah!) VCU- waiting... UCLA- waiting... Good luck to all!
CocoaPuf1 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Here are my responses so far. I've been living in NYC for the last 5 years and want to go to school somewhere less expensive so I only applied to one school in the city and the rest elsewhere, so I have a lot of schools that not many people on this board seem to have applied to, but if anyone has please let me know if you've heard anything! I'm so anxious! University of New Mexico: rejected 3/2 University of Minnesota: #1 on wait list 2/20 MCAD: rejected 2/17 Tyler: nothing RIT: nothing Portand State: nothing PNCA: nothing SVA: nothing

jkroman Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I cannot confirm this, but a friend of a friend was apparently accepted into UCLA in ceramics about 2 weeks ago. Like I said, I have not talked to him personaly, but I have no reason to think it is not true. Has any one heard back from UCLA other than painting? specificaly ceramics. Tyler- accepted 02-01-via phone call- turned down offer UW Seattle- accepted 03-05- phone call SAIC- wait list- letter- now in trash OU-accepted- phone call mid feb. sometime USF-accepted- phone call feb 20th OSU- nothing UCLA- nothing
helenforsdale Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 hey cd3, you wanna hit up yr columbia contact again? i've heard from various sources that yes, sculpture and painting have made their cuts and calls. no news on new genres or photo though. i've heard through the grapevine that if we haven't heard by now, that's it. regardless, i need you to kill my naive sense of false hope, please. also - i'm curious. anyone have any thoughts on british schools? is there a real advantage/disadvantage in going? i got into the rca. trying to figure this one out.
Paul51 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Parsons MFA Fine Arts - No word... Does nyone have any info. Do the departments interview at separate times? I saw someone had a photo interview. :?:
cd3 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 hey cd3, you wanna hit up yr columbia contact again? i've heard from various sources that yes, sculpture and painting have made their cuts and calls. no news on new genres or photo though. i've heard through the grapevine that if we haven't heard by now, that's it. regardless, i need you to kill my naive sense of false hope, please. also - i'm curious. anyone have any thoughts on british schools? is there a real advantage/disadvantage in going? i got into the rca. trying to figure this one out. hey helenforsdale, I don't have a contact w/Columbia (though I wish I did!). I think that was someone else in the forum. There's nothing wrong with a little prolonged hope though
mmmh Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Has any one heard back from UCLA other than painting? specificaly ceramics. Tyler- accepted 02-01-via phone call- turned down offer UW Seattle- accepted 03-05- phone call SAIC- wait list- letter- now in trash OU-accepted- phone call mid feb. sometime USF-accepted- phone call feb 20th OSU- nothing UCLA- nothing I'm waiting to hear back from Tyler (sculpture). I'm just hoping that each department does differently in making decisions... but I also saw someone posted a result on the "admission results" list saying this person got an email from Tyler's sculpture program in Feb. 17th, 2009, regarding interview or some sorts. what's going on?? I don't want to, but am starting to speculate that they did the first round in Feb. I also applied to UCLA, VCU (sculpture), nothing yet. (i know vcu is just taking time to go though the applications...)
scott Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 to mmmh Tyler trys to notify early, and then pressure people to make decisions. Its s strategy to get their top pics. It pissed me off a little bit, and they gave me a bs reason why they needed to know so early. They wanted a commitment from me by feb. 20th. I was able to squeeze a few more weeks out of them. I'm pretty sure each dept. makes their own choices though. I went to visit, the new building is awsome! I liked Philly a lot as well. The funding on the other hand was not full. still generous though. If you get in and have the money go for it. good luck I did not have to interview
jcorrales Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I applied for painting/drawing at SAIC and UT. Fortunately my other three are general MFAs, since I'm a terrible painter whose portfolio consists of animation and print work. Florida State University - Accepted University of Michigan - Interview in February, haven't heard anything since. SAIC - Rejected University of Texas - Rejected Parsons - Nothing yet
kathyliao Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 As of 3/16/09 I applied to the MFA Painting/Drawing Programs Yale - rejected, via mail early Feb. UCLA - rejected, via web 3/14 SAIC - rejected via mail 3/30 RISD - rejected via mail 3/30 Indiana U - Accepted/with university fellowship + stipend Michigan State - Accepted/with assistantship + stipend + recruitment fellowship UPenn - Accepted on 3/15/09 via phone call w/ some scholarship Boston U - Accepted on 3/20/09 via email, with some scholarship SFAI - Accepted on 3/16/09 via mail, no money. [edit] Thanx for all the responses from people on the forum! too bad for UCLA. ps thanx for the forum, it's really helpful. -Kathy
jenmariepainter Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 kath- congrats on Indiana U. and the scholarship! I had my heart set on going there, but sadly was rejected! I also applied to Boston U. but haven't heard anything yet either. Best of Luck.
akinanana Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 As of 3/12/09 I applied to the MFA Painting/Drawing Programs Yale - rejected SAIC - interviewed on 3/7, waiting reply yet again RISD - interview scheduled on 3/18 SFAI - interviewed on 3/4 Indiana U - Accepted/with scholarship Michigan State - Accepted/with scholarship Boston University - no reply yet UCLA - no reply yet UPenn - no reply yet Did UCLA really made their decisions for MFA Painting grads? Does that mean those who didn't get reply didn't get in?? Did ANYONE got an interview from UCLA?? ps thanx for the forum, it's really helpful. -Kathy UCLA already accepted their 6 painters. They don't interview. I didn't get in, but someone I know did.
