hey ya'll

I'm putting the carriage before the horse on this one (waiting to hear back after interview) but does anybody know the deal on funding at Cranbrook? After getting the generic admissions email and realizing that paying a $1000 deposit within 2 weeks may be a reality, I started wondering about their funding in general. I ask because I've heard mixed answers about this unicorn school

 

thanks!

I don't want to scare you but I met someone that recently finished their MFA there, they didn't come from money and they said they were hoping for an apocalypse to come and wipe out their debt. They got some funding. They also said they had no regrets if that gives you hope and they could talk about their work like no one I've ever met.

thanks for the heads up! I went to a competitive art school for undergrad so I'm prepared for more debt, I'm just trying to minimize as best I can. I need to stop making decisions like a rich person. ha.

Hi, has anyone heard anything from UCLA?  I'm so tired of seeing "decision pending" on my application status...

Hey! I got notified via email. I hope I didn't make you all antsy! I know I certainly am about the schools I havent heard from.

Remember Hunter is a really big program with not that much administrative staff. I'd imagine it would take them a very long time to contact everyone they're interested in talking to.

The good news is the cost of living in Michigan is probably much lower than you are use to in NY however, you'll need a car because the bus doesn't stop at Cranbrook. The city literally doesn't have bus stops, the bus drives right past Cranbrook because the city doesn't want poor people getting off in their town. I'm not making this up.

Does anyone know if VCU or UCLA conduct interviews? (sculpture specifically)

[ismewilde]

Yeah, Bloomfield Hills is a rich little town

[bloodred]

oh wow i just found the decision status on UCLA's website....but in other news it is still pending.

[bannedinbc]

my Columbia slideroom had lost the "MFA" suffix when I checked this morning. Applied for New Genres.

[mirror_logic]

RUTGERS is notifying around now, I just got a call and i'm in! I'm psyched and can't wait to visit the program, they sound lovely.

VCU does conduct interviews for Graphic Design or Visual Communication. Not sure about sculpture though

I emailed the sculpture department and they said they will send the preliminary notifications (which I'm guessing means interviews) out in the first week of March

My columbia slideroom just says 2014photography.

I applied to Chapel Hill and haven't heard anything so I'm assuming it's a Waitlist at best for me. Congrats on the acceptance!

 

Thank you.

 

In the acceptance email Roxana mentioned they are hoping to push through the waitlist fast. I assume this means the waitlist has some wicked good candidates. Hopefully you are in the list!

[amb1]

same for sculpture

[bloodred]

my partner keeps telling me to stop worrying while all of these acceptances and rejections are flying around it is hard!!! i got them to start looking at this forum and now he understands.
