kierstin Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I have a feeling that schools don't send rejection letters to applicants who have interviewed, but that the wait lists consist of every interviewee. I think the rule of thumb is that they interview three times the number of people they plan to accept, so the wait list could be 20 people deep. Has anyone received a rejection letter after interviewing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rule of thumb is that they interview three times the number of people they plan to accept, so the wait list could be 20 people deep. Has anyone received a rejection letter after interviewing? In the letter it said a "short" wait list. I would think that it would only be as many as they accepted. I might be wrong, but they put short on there for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irene423601 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 For those who applied CalArts (Graphic D) I got my rejection via application web it said "DECISION STATUS: AVAILABLE BEGINNING 2/27/2014" go check it and good luck for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-numeric Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It is pretty crazy. Considering that sometimes waitlist decisions can happen in the summer, from app season in Dec til then - that's half a year!! I hope you hear sooner than that! Best of luck! I've been assured that I will know by April at the latest but even so it's pretty nerve-racking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takara1 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Just got an official email saying I'm wait-listed for RISD photo... I am kind of surprised, I feel like I bombed my interview big time! So I'm glad that I'm wait-listed, but also frustrated since all that means is more waiting. And can I just say that Skype is the worst way to talk to people?? Seriously awful. Anyone out there apply to Stanford's Art Practice program?? And are people getting results about CCA? I'm thinking I'm officially out of luck there, but don't want to give up just yet... I also applied to Stanford's Art Practice program, but I haven't heard anything. I know they conduct interviews, but I don't think I'll be getting one. Edited February 28, 2014 by Takara1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takara1 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum as this is my first year applying. So far I've heard from 2 schools, but not the other 2. Kansas State-wait listed University of Arizona-rejected via website Stanford-- University of Notre Dame-- Does Notre Dame do interviews? Also, if you or someone you know got into KState and don't want it, can you please inform the school? I'm first on the wait list Edited February 28, 2014 by Takara1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justkeepprinting27 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well I've been following this forum religiously the past couple of weeks and just thought I'd finally share my info I've come across in the past month. It's good to know a lot of people are going through the same highs and lows of the MFA application process. University of Arizona – Accepted, no funding University of Texas at Austin - short waitlisted Arizona State University – Accepted, funding? Cranbrook Academy of Art Colorado University - rejected Chapel Hill North Carolina University of Georgia - waitlisted University of Tennessee - rejected Syracuse University - Interview should hear back in a week or two Washington State University Anybody heard anything from UNC good or bad yet? Also, any printmakers heard back from Cranbrook yet? I know a lot of departments have set interviews up, but haven't seen anything about print media.

riordjj Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So what happens if you get an email from CCA saying the following.... You’re Invited to Participate in a Virtual Graduate Information Session Dear Joseph We appreciate your interest in graduate study at CCA and cordially invite you to participate in an upcoming virtual information session with the director of graduate admissions, Noel Dahl. During the session, you will get detailed information about the application processes for our various graduate programs. You'll also learn what the faculty are looking for in an applicant, so you can tailor your application and successfully gain admission to one of the nation's top art and design colleges. Please RSVP online. We look forward to talking with you. Noel Dahl Director of Graduate Admissions Does this mean I have an interview???? Or is this just them saying try again later? Thanks to any CCA peeps already gone through this Shiit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DidacticPrinter Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think it's a fluke and they have your email address on an old list for people requesting info. CCA is done with their interviews for the cycle. I did find out in an email, at least, that at CCA they don't interview everyone who is on their finalist list. So if you haven't heard from them yet... There's still more waiting and anticipation to be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied their mfa photo as well but they said admission will be made on March. I am confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are just sending emails to everyone who expressed interest; I don't think this is linked to any admissions decision. I did click through though, and it seems that they are actually still taking rolling admissions through June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticchie Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I finalized my Columbia University interview, March 13th decided to do in person. Does anyone know how many they interview for painting? It's an interdisciplinary program but for admission purposes they divide applicants by department, they are interviewing for 9 spots for painters.

klp Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Unsuccessful for Goldsmiths. I had to call them today as we were supposed to hear by the end of Feb – the lady who answered was asking someone else across the room and I heard a second lady laughing and saying "they would have HEARD by now if they'd been successful" before I went on hold, then the 2nd lady picked up and looked up my record to check. Sucky way to find out Oh well, onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
