queena1117 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 really? Crap I haven't heard anything bout if I've been accepted or not and I just emailed Dennis Congdon about a day or so ago. Said they were still deciding. Maybe you were an easy pick haha! congrats! Thanks! I think different department has different processing time. Mine is Digital + Media. What is yours? I think they'll send out all admissions no later next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laaru Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I just caught up on about 20 pages worth of posts! My particular mind numbing job is a little intense right now and I took a trip to the west coast to visit UO so I haven't gotten my gradcafe fix recently. Congratulations to everyone getting news! It is really almost over! I believe for me it is coming down to UO vs. Alfred sculpture (thank you milkyways... I was accepted off the waitlist). This was my first time around applying and I wasn't sure what to expect or if this would be the year for me. But I am really pleased to have gotten some good news with good funding... there is still a little wedge of me that wonders what another go around would get me but I don't think I can take it. If anyone has any intimate knowledge or opinions about UO or Alfred sculpture programs I would LOVE to hear them. I have about a week to give Alfred my decision and I think it is going to be very close. Visiting Alfred this week and hoping to know more.

She loves it ! And I heard one guy at my school call it the "Mecca of art schools' LOL. I guess he liked the way it looked that much . hahaha. I also have thought about the whole 'another round and waiting another year ' but yeah I don't feel like it's in my best interest...But I still can't help but wonder........wonder wonder...lol.

I never had the chance to visit, but I've heard from several Alfred BFAs that the facilities are top notch. If your work involves ceramics/glass/foundry it's the way to go. Another thing to consider is the distance between Alfred and other places. For me this was a good thing since I love to lock myself in the studio to work and concentrate in my stuff, but other people don't work like that. Alfred has some really cool teachers (ak Sarah Blood ---drool) and is prestigious enough to hit top 20 in the lists . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derpderpderp Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm leaning towards saic for painting/drawing. Pretty sure I'm out of the running for risd (my interview felt like falling down a cliff in slow motion, haha, my nerves really got the best of me). Is anyone else considering saic for pt/dw?

LittleBlueHouse Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Anyone else here considering the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth? I've been accepted and offered a grad assistantship, and am overall pleased with the school, their contact, and the people I have met, but its farther away than I would really like, which would ultimately mean added costs and other considerations; the other school I'm considering is much closer and in a bigger city which may provide more artistic opportunities in the long run, though its a bigger program and I don't feel I've made any real connection with anyone there yet. bwh15, I considered UMassD in a previous application year. I was also pleased with the funding offer (at the time) and the facilities (Star Store building). I also thought the faculty and students I met seemed to be friendly and smart. I got a very intentional vibe from the place; that people there are choosing it for specific reasons and forging their own paths. Not a super well-known program, but a lot of cool stuff to offer, in my opinion. And proximity to Providence/Boston/NYC doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technotronic Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 What have people heard of UT Austin's reputation?? What program are you looking at rooroo? I visited UT Austin and saw many good things about it, and the students definitely receive a lot of support. But I'd also love to know about the program's reputation if anyone has any insight to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawbdee Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hey everyone, hope you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! I am wrapping up my first year at Rutgers, I am photo technically but it is a very interdisciplinary program. If anyone has questions about the school, feel free to pm me and I will help anyway I can. I know it can be hard to narrow down schools. Thanks! elinik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hello_lauren Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I was accepted on Friday for UPenn's program during my Skype interview. Really love the sound of the program and everything my interviewer was telling me was amazing. I live and go to school in Glasgow though, and am still keeping my fingers crossed for a GSA acceptance. I love it here and would love to stay. Unfortunately, my interview didn't go particularly well. So I suppose if GSA sends me the rejection I'm expecting, I'll be Philly-bound! Did all SAIC sculpture acceptances go out last week? should I write that one off as a rejection? I was interviewed, but haven't heard anything since.
