nathancotephoto Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks for posting this! I'm anxiously waiting to hear back as well! I feel like im shootin into the dark by applying as i really only started 3 weeks before the deadlines began. Its good to see I've probably got 3-5 more weeks of waiting ahead of me!

I only did visual art, sorry! Here is what I discovered.... [EDIT] So basically....BREATHE....It's early. It's NOT crazy, a little obsessive maybe, but not crazy! I did the same thing. I went back to the previous years to see when people started hearing. I also figured that in my case, SFAI was getting in touch with people for interviews in mid Feb and people started hearing a or r in early March. I know someone else heard from SFAI (for painting) for an interview a week a go. I panicked that I haven't heard anything. I did the research and then I started rationalizing. I had a portfolio review with the dept chair, went to visit the school, went to an alumni get together where I talked to a few alumns and the head of school--so I am convincing myself THAT is why I'm not being called for an interview--they already interviewed me? maybe. anyway, thanks for the list. I'm sure it will help many people. I would like the arts area on here to have some subfolders for this type of info to reside. How would that happen?
stark Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Hey Colin, When I called to set up the interview, The person made it sound as if they are not interviewing all the applicants that they are considering. I think SFAI has skipped interviews altogether in years past. Don't stress because if you haven't heard anything, it's probably a good thing.
Colin Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 thanks, Stark. that helps. I'm trying to keep busy and not think about it. If and when I get an email or letter, I'll deal with it then. good luck with your interview!
Emma2003 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 I like the idea of sub-folders too. I'm not sure how it would happen. There's a lot of info to sift through and with new posts, sometimes things get lost, although I definitely have to say I haven't found anything half as good as this site for getting new information. I think maybe a post on the comments board? That's my best guess.

I think maybe a post on the comments board? That's my best guess. Agreed. a lot of information to sift through. Which made me think that maybe this is a data management problem--this specific thing, sort through the results and finding out 1) when people heard re: interviews and 2) when people heard A / R (I originally typed A / A, see how positive I am?!) and 3) from where. After we all get into the programs of our choice, we won't be concerned with that any longer, but the next batch of MFA-hopefuls will. Why should they have to re-invent the wheel? Sub-folders would be nice to organize things in general. But who does that and what sub-folders? I don't know. Sorry for being OT in this well intentioned thread. I am all for sharing helpful information in a concise, easy to read way! Or make it a STICKY and keep it at the top of the list?
