catawampus Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Has anyone heard from Cranbrook? I had my phone interview last Tuesday but I haven't heard anything since then. Apparently there is a second interview, in-person. This is for Photo specifically. Not sure about the other concentrations.

Shaoceptual Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It seems like last year people heard from UCLA somewhere between the 10th-15th of March (apart from phone calls from faculty). I don't know when people got interview (Skype) requests from USC, but the interviews themselves were around March 8th and rejections were reported around the 23rd. So not for a while yet. I received a call this morning from Catherine Opie for a request of interview! But I am a bit confused: so 10-15th. March is the final decision period right? Or some applicants will get acceptance directly? Without interviews? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafralal Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I received a call this morning from Catherine Opie for a request of interview! But I am a bit confused: so 10-15th. March is the final decision period right? Or some applicants will get acceptance directly? Without interviews? Thank you! That's awesome, very exciting, congrats! According to last year's results, final acceptances were around March 10th-15th even when there were phone interviews. My impression is that getting an interview is a very good sign! As far as I've been able to ascertain, there is no evidence - at least on this forum anyway - of rejections after a phone interview with a faculty member. Fingers crossed, best of luck! I'm surprised I didn't think UCLA did interviews? Good luck! Officially they don't, but faculty does sometimes (maybe often?) call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samilk Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Waitlisted at Alfred I've got one more to go but now I'm seriously reorganizing my plans in case I need to reapply next yer. I will deffinitely have to apply to many more programs! And I'll probably start applying to residencies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give up! you should definetly ask them how many are on the wait list, to give yourself some idea. Personally I see this whole thing as a positive process. If you have to apply next year, you definetly will have more experience and more confident in knowing what you are doing. You can do it! gemjam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwonberry Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Interview is a loose term. Though it varies by medium it's more a conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaoceptual Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm surprised I didn't think UCLA did interviews? Good luck! There isn't a phone interview as a requirement but I think it would be very in-formal, based on her voice tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was told from the grads I spoke with when I visited- an informal phone call and possibly a second one as well (if they are interested).

Thanks a lot for the encouraging words JoJo! You're right, this is an opportunity to learn and have better, smarter applications next time.

Shaoceptual Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I meant a possible second phone call- not necessarily involving an interview per se .... Yeah yeah that might happen. But seems to be a bit scary if I only got one call and no hear back for a while. Anyway, on the other side, that's the fun part of MFA application process! Good luck everyone!

drusillatheteenagewitch Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Oh, was anyone else here applying to Ohio State? I just got an email requesting additional financial aid information confirming if you will take 'tuition reimbursement and TA work' and how much. Completely confusing since i haven't received any kind of admissions information yet. There is an option for 'I applied but have not heard back yet' so i guess thats what I will respond with. My brain is starting to feel like its melting… HI! Did you fill out the fafsa form, Yellow Magnet? Cuz I got a similar form from them saying that additional documentation is required. Unfortunately, it still says pending on my application status as well. (I applied to painting and drawing.)

Yes, I filled out my fafsa and they have the most up to date information. My app status still says pending too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sareejane, they sent me an email with an attached letter notifying me about this. They told me that they have several waitlisted applicats (didn't mention the exact number) without a specific order, and that if a vacancy is opened, the faculty staff will choose who to call. There's still a slight possibility! But I'd rather keep my feet down on earth and start working on my plan B, which is going part-time and applying to residencies. Shaoceptual I really appreciate your comment! I think that being rejected is a sign that actually I have to make better work haha! It's just something hard to accept at the beginning, but at the end it should become a motivation to improve as an artist.

pulpandink Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Has anyone heard from Columbia college in Chicago? I applied to their Interdisciplinary Book + Paper MFA, but haven't heard anything yet. They did send an email saying my file was complete and that I would be notified of the application decision 6-8 weeks after the program deadline.
