bandito Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yellow Magnet, nope. Not yet. I was thinking the same thing. SAIC is going wild. Hopefully soon. Have you heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llife00 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 any interviews for SAIC sculpture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Magnet Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nope, none yet for sculpture. Just SAIC Art admin and Policy, which I feel went very well. I'm sure that SAIC does admissions processes per department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismewilde Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Congrats, Yellow Magnet! No interviews, but two of the schools on my list state that there won't be any admissions decisions until late March/early April- Mills and FSU. I see you applied to CMU as well and their process is a mystery to me other than that offers may come late February? The snow has blown in so its not looking very good for Thursday. Oh well.

kierstin Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Have you guys got any interview requests yet? Doing a Skype interview with UT Austin on Friday. I'm nervous. It's a relief to see that other sculpture programs seem not to have started sending out interview requests just yet. Unless, of course, none of us are really star applicants. I often wonder if there is some categorical difference between MFA applicants who visit/contribute to gradcafe and those who do not. Is there a personality type which is more likely to spend time on message boards? Is that type conducive to gaining admission to a top program? I dunno. Hope so.

ismewilde Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 kierstin is on a role! Good luck on that one too! Does anyone know if CMU does interviews? From what I can tell in past postings they do not, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Magnet Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Congrats, Yellow Magnet! Thanks Ismewild! I have no clue about CMU either and will only visit if i am offered something.

I found that skyping with friends and family as much as possible before hand helps to prepare for interviews. We will never really know about what makes someone visit these forums. But there are certainly a small percentage of applicants out there who are just just guests, reading without really contributing. At least your getting your feeling out somewhere. I think i would go mad if I otherwise. But i also think interview requests will completely vary from school to school. Admissions efficiency and their committee structures will differentiate who starts sending things out first. Then there is the ratio of applicants to spots open and how effective they are at going through their applications. you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomberry Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Do all schools conduct interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandito Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 No, not all schools conduct interviews. And then there's a range from phone, skype, and in person when they do. tomberry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llife00 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have a feeling that SAIC sculpture interview requests have already been sent out and just no one here knows about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandito Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 LOL, last year was the 7th by snailmail... and they say on their website requests are made up until mid February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismewilde Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks Ismewild! I have no clue about CMU either and will only visit if i am offered something. I called them yesterday to express my concern about travelling there and they told me that it would be best to wait and visit after acceptance if I felt uncomfortable travelling there. Also, that the visitation was primarily to become more informed about their program and would have no bearing on acceptance. Still, I was very excited about seeing the school and meeting some of the grad students so I'm pretty bummed. Even if I'm not considered, it would have been great to see what is going on there.

Yellow Magnet Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've got an interview request from California College of Art. It will be my first official sculpture interview, I wish I had the time and money to head out there in person. If only it would have been in March. bandito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomberry Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I was thinking about contacting the two programs that haven't given any kind of notice yet. Is that a good idea or is that kind of a naggy thing to do? Should I wait another week to attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herki Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Regarding interviews at SAIC, I'd say it's not out of the question up until a couple weeks before the school-wide interview day, which is in the spring if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing how the SAIC departments work at vastly different speeds and turn around rates. I got an email yesterday with acceptance into SAIC Art Admin and Policy with a deans award (idk how much). Something official will come to me after monday. Again, I haven't heard from SAIC Sculpture which i am more anxious about now. I did however get an interview request from California College of Art, Skype sometime after the 17th of feb. Waiting for official interview time and date.

tomberry Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I'd wait. It is still early. Thanks. Actually, PAFA's website now says in the status ..... Resume Complete ........1/13/2014 Decision Letter Sent .......Pending Tuition Deposit ..........Pending Tuition Deposit #2 .......Pending Candidate Reply Form ......Pending New Student Information Form ........Pending The decision letter has been sent, so I guess I'll have something physical some time soon. I find it peculiar that below the "Decision Letter Sent" line, there are "Tuition Deposit" "Candidate Reply Form" and "New Student Information Form" lines. I assume it shows up that way for everyone, but does anyone else have that? Edited February 8, 2014 by tomberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, last year, I got an acceptance from art & technology nearly a month before I got a final decision from the other departments I applied to. It didn't hurt that ATS didn't interview me though.
