cococo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hang in there! This is my first time around, applied to 5 schools and havent heard a peep from one. I would imagine this is a hectic and chaotic time on their end too, that they deal with every year. (So they surely aren't as eager as we are) Best of luck! Same to you! It is my first time applying to MFA programs as well, so it makes me feel better to see that other people haven't heard anything from their schools either. No one else I know has applied to the same schools I have so I've been sitting here stressing out over the lack of updates I have heard. I applied to the three programs I listed above, but I'm just hoping I get into at least one of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlk Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 um so if it says MFA after your painting thing at Columbia you've probably been rejected... that one girl got an interview. everyone else didn't. I don't know why they changed that process but it's over for everyone I think (including me). womp womp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is true, that probably means I didn't get an interview. booooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEM33056 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I thought it was the opposite... That having the MFA meant you were still being considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cococo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I thought it was the opposite... That having the MFA meant you were still being considered I thought so too, but the only person we've heard from that got an interview for Columbia said: Um... I just checked and it just says "2015 Painting" And Thank you! I hope that the Slideroom thing is arbitrary, but I'm beginning to doubt it unfortunately. I see that you applied to Hunter, so I doubt the system is the same fore approval or whatever. Or at least I hope it is...

Czarina Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Anyone else nervously waiting on funding info. after being accepted? This feels like round two of anxiety. I'm so happy about my acceptances but at the same time, don't want to get my hopes up if I ultimately can't afford to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaredapplicant Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) for Columbia: honestly I think the MFA thing just means they've started reviewing applications. I think only certain disciplines have gone through applications (I've applied to two) and both of my slideroom things say "MFA" Edited February 24, 2015 by scaredapplicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchy Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Scaredapplicant, I like your optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaredapplicant Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Scaredapplicant, I like your optimism. i called and they told me that some were being looked end of last week and some this coming week. one of the disciplines i applied for was reviewed last week and the other has yet to be reviewed and they both say MFA in my slideroom, so that's why I think that "MFA" just means the application is "open." (which is why that person who doesn't have MFA anymore found out they got interview --> application closed..but then it may also not say MFA anymore for someone who is flat out rejected) I just don't think columbia would have such a simplistic system Edited February 24, 2015 by scaredapplicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaredapplicant Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Scaredapplicant, I like your optimism. maybe if the MFA thing stays after everything has been reviewed then you're out, IDK, i just know not all the disciplines have been looked at yet (that's what they said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
