cococo Posted February 23, 2015 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...
mlk Posted February 23, 2015 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

If it is true, that probably means I didn't get an interview. booooo
TEM33056 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I thought it was the opposite... That having the MFA meant you were still being considered
cococo Posted February 23, 2015 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... Edited February 23, 2015 by cococo
Czarina Posted February 23, 2015 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...

Kelly Neibert Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 For anyone who is coming to the saic interview event feb 28th/ March 1st. We should go out for dinner after the reception! I live in chicago so I know a good handful of places with cheap/good food. I'll be at the reception as well. I'm totally down to hang out afterwards. Looking forward to meeting you guys
scaredapplicant Posted February 24, 2015 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
scaredapplicant Posted February 24, 2015 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
scaredapplicant Posted February 24, 2015 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)
tdevo412 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Anyone have their interview with SVA yet?? If so how did it go? What have they asked?
papers Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 mine says 2014 sculpture you should have heard something by now!!
