ouchfinger Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Anyone hear back from SAIC Painting yet? I just got an email from SAIC painting for an interview. Edited February 2, 2015 by iamme91
ouchfinger Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Same here!!! Congratulations! Do you know how many people they invite for the interview? Edited February 2, 2015 by ouchfinger
gwen Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Oh no! Do you think they send all of the interview requests for painting out at the same time?

jcloud1002 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hello, Everyone, Long time lurker and first post, as I'm pretty freaked/stoked about this whole thing. Congrats to everyone thus far, and good luck. I applied for an MFA in Painting/drawing and Painting/printmaking. My schools: Madison: accepted Tyler: Fly out to interview Iowa Hunter Rutgers University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign VCU University of Minnesota Pretty nervous. Interviews scare me but I'm so excited.
yayaaaaa Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Where are you flying from for the interview at Tyler ? I'm in California so I am really hesitant flying out but I really want to be accepted !
ning124 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I got plain rejection from Yale and haven't heard anything from Saic yet. Feeling horrible. Maybe I should just accept the fact that I'm not gonna get into any school this year. Feeling like the least favorable applicant in the world Edited February 2, 2015 by ning124
d e o Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 !!!!! I was shortlisted for OSU!! Anyone else going to the Visitation Day on the 20th? So excited right now!
Coreythegiraffe Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 !!!!! I was shortlisted for OSU!! Anyone else going to the Visitation Day on the 20th? So excited right now! I also was shortlisted. I want to go to the visitation day, but I need to figure out if it is worth spending the money for flights and hotel stay coming from Los Angeles....
thepictureisstill Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I also was shortlisted. I want to go to the visitation day, but I need to figure out if it is worth spending the money for flights and hotel stay coming from Los Angeles.... If I was in the country at that time I would totally put you guys up…I would ask OSU about student rates at nearby hotels.

Apparently staying with a current MFA student is an option? But yeah, flights are a bit pricey... Edited February 2, 2015 by d e o
Coreythegiraffe Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Apparently staying with a current MFA student is an option? But yeah, flights are a bit pricey... Yeah I need to call them tomorrow to figure out what this whole "staying with a current MFA student" thing means... I probably should go. thepictureisstill 1
Vinny51 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I just stumbled on this forum, and I have to say that it's been a lifesaver! I've applied to a handful of schools in Northern CA and am finally starting to hear back from admission offices... has anyone heard from CCA or Berkeley?
dugggs Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I called SAIC to ask and I guess the Low Res program doesn't require interviews, they are sometimes given informally though. It is the painting program that asks for interviews, and we should receive an invitation to interview by mid Feb. Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear something from SAIC?

It is the painting program that asks for interviews, and we should receive an invitation to interview by mid Feb. Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear something from SAIC? Since my flight is delayed cuz of the snow, I just went through all the replys to last year's freak out thread after feb 1. Interview is required for painting, so if you didnt get any invitation then you're out. Invitations for painting came out on feb 4 last year, and some people said that they got it on feb 5. Not sure if they checked email/forum frequently or not, but I guess maybe there's still a chance to receive an invitation tmr. Also there's a guy saying that he got a snail mail invitation rather than email. I emailed Patrick Q (who's in charge of mfa painting applications) and his auto reply says that " I am out of the office today conducting admissions reviews, Monday February 2. I will reply to your email as soon as possible upon returning to the office on Tuesday February 3." I emailed him later this afternoon, hopefully I could receive an reply tomorrow morning. I don't know much about the low res program, maybe you can read last year's thread. It's sorta relieving. Good luck everyone!! dugggs 1
ning124 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 For those who got an email invitation from Saic painting ---- did your applyyourself/slideroom application status change?
gml Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I know most people posting on this thread (as of recent, at least) aren't applying to GD/VisComm programs, but I figured I'd give a heads up on SAIC. Got an interview invitation for the Visual Communication Design MFA via snail mail today, but no status change on my online app and no email either! Letter was written up on Jan 27. Hopefully that puts some people at ease! Good luck y'all!
Derpderpderp Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Been lurking (hesitantly at first) Recieved an email invitation today to interview for MFA painting/drawing at saic I went to NPD and they waived my application fee, so to anyone applying next year Id highly recommend going.

Derpderpderp Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks! I got it around 1:30. Pretty surprised given that all the schools in chicago are closed because of the insane snow dugggs 1
