ssap Posted March 10, 2009 Share 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.

WvOvMutilation Posted March 10, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoaPuf1 Posted March 11, 2009 Share 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!

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.

mmmh Posted March 12, 2009 Share 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...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted March 12, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcorrales Posted March 12, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
