MFA 2014 All Art ADMISSIONS freak-out forum!!!!!!!!

[bloodred]

Yea I hope so!  i just want to know now!

[tabbykiki]

What is the general rule of thumb with regards to interviews? Some programs do and some don't? Are there any programs that interview some and not others - but accept people they haven't interviewed?

 

Curious about this in particular to VCU, UCF & George Mason's interview policy so to speak.

I just got an email to interview at Cal Arts. Obviously not an acceptance but a step in the right direction and I'm thrilled. Hopefully I'll see a few of you there. Now to book a flight...

Rejected by Northwestern via email this afternoon. It wasn't the right program for me anyway.

[okayokokay]

Email of rejection from Northwestern today...want to get out of town anyway!

I almost feel excited as I seen my Virginia Tech application status move from "Acknowledged" to "Received." Not sure what that means because in the little help box "Received" isn't one of the statuses available. So, no news. Damn. I really need to find something to do with my time besides pondering the possibilities. Like get a 2nd job or something. This is worse than waiting for the impending birth of a child.

Good luck on the interview tofutuesday!

That's awesome! Is your interview day March 13th also?

It cannot be next Monday fast enough. Is there anyone from here going to the UO grad review day thing next week? If anyone else is, there is also a folklore lecture the day before on the Malawi people. Come see neat lecture!

I took the entire week off from work to spend time out west. I hear there are areas of the world that aren't covered in snow. I don't believe that can be true. Next Sunday's forecast is another 12 inches for my area of NY, day before my flight out. New England doesn't want me to escape.

 

I wish I could go to the Open House.  Alas it doesn't make sense for me right now...(I'm in the Painting and drawing dept.)

 

Please put in a good word for me.  hehe.

Yes it is. I believe everyone goes on the same day. My friend interviewed last year and that is what she told me. Are you going as well? I'm having issues with the registration link in the email... If I can't get it to work tomorrow I guess I'll just email the recruitment director back. I'm curious how many people are invited to interview versus how many slots are available. Do you know? 

 

Good luck on the interview tofutuesday!

Thanks!

by looking at last years forum, it seems that people were notified for Rutger's between the 20th and the 1st.  It seems like they didn't interview in the past and sent out acceptances and rejections close together.  Maybe those who applied will hear back as early as tomorrow, that would be a dream. good luck all!

Cool!

No I don't know the numbers...I'm expecting something like a 3:1 ratio, but that's a pretty uninformed guess. PM me if you or anyone else who is going for that matter, would like to meet.

I applied to ICP-Bard, Feb.28th skype

 

Hi Shaoceptual, thanks for the info. Just to clarify, ICP Bard and Bard (low res) are two different programs with (it seems) different timelines. Good luck with your interview tho.

[lolapola]

Congratulations EDay!!!     

 

Has anyone heard back from Sculpture at VCU?? 

[Mustafa]

[tabbykiki]

Congrats to whomever got into VCU for Vis Com (as per the results database).

[sissiiiiii]

Hey sorry to hear that, good luck with rest. And what program that you applied for?

Rejected by Northwestern via email this afternoon. It wasn't the right program for me anyway.

[sissiiiiii]

Hey, can you please tell me which program did you apply? Still waiting for the news... Nervous!

my columbia slideroom just changed from 2014 painting MFA to 2014 painting

hopefully this is good. I am guessing it is not.

can other people check and let me know what their slideroom says?

Yep, mine just changed too! I agree that this is probably not good.

[nobrasnoparents]

Mine still says MFA

new here. mine still says "2014 Printmaking MFA". what exactly seemed to be indicated last year by a change in wording on your application? or was it a weird coincidence?
