KSuverkrubbe Posted March 16, 2015 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. Yeah people are saying they have been accepted into MICA's hoffberger program so I am assuming it's a rejection ,especially since I am about 97 percent sure I was rejected... Maybe they contact the acceptances first? If so, I'm sorry about that... It's hard to tell if they just accept some people right away then are stil deliberating on others or if they contact the acceptances well ahead of time.

Yea, I received my acceptance to the SAIC sculpture program on March 6, so I think they would have contacted you by now if you were accepted... Sorry.... But you have lots of other great stuff happening! Anyone hear from RISD Sculpture yet today?? I was told (by my interviewer) they would be calling people today who were accepted.... Nervousness!

tdevo412 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Anyone know when NYU sends out their notices? I know they just finished interviews.
yestoyeahhhh Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Anyone know when NYU sends out their notices? I know they just finished interviews. they say before april. and they are having spring break this week, so i guess they may send out the decisions next week or later. im so nervousssss
kernufchuel Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 well people have said they've got acceptances from SVA and MICA so Im assuming rejection....
kernufchuel Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 scratch that! I've been accepted to MICA Mount Royal!
hillaryanne Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Got my funding offer from MICA in the mail today. I don't know what I was expecting...maybe something miraculous. Needless to say..it's not miraculous. The thought of saying no to my first choice school because I can't afford it is seriously putting a damper on the excitement of getting in
kxxx Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I feel you... They gave me a merit scholarship of 12300 renewable the second year (out of 42k tuition). Haven't recieved my financial aid packet yet, but I imagine it's just loans.

Haven't recieved my financial aid packet yet, but I imagine it's just loans. Yep, I got the same offer. And I'm really unclear on what their GTI opportunities are like. I asked about it in my interview, but they were really vague and made it seem like those positions weren't readily available. Even so, they only offer a stipend of $725 per internship per semester. That's kind of a laughable amount considering the $42,000 price tag.

Sorry.... But you have lots of other great stuff happening! Anyone hear from RISD Sculpture yet today?? I was told (by my interviewer) they would be calling people today who were accepted.... Nervousness! Did you just receive the email saying they are delayed in letting us know?? This is killing me!
Leahdog Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Notification of delay from RISD sculpture! Omg! I thought I was rejected because no one contacted me today, but now... Hope remains!

That's kind of a laughable amount considering the $42,000 price tag. Oh wow, Baltimore is fairly cheap as far as east coast cities are concerned, but 725 is unlivable! You'd have to get at least two and that would seriously eat into your own studio time if you could even secure multiple TAships in the first place. I'm sorry you didn't get a better offer for your dream school! Do you have other options at least? I'm certainly turning them down, so perhaps you can leverage for more money if you are explicit in your intentions to attend? I know there was a post a few pages back about someone getting double their initial award by leveraging with SFAI I believe it was...
rvb260 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Does anyone know if RISD's painting program is doing early acceptances like RISD sculpture is?
ouwanqu Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone know if RISD's painting program is doing early acceptances like RISD sculpture is? I don't know about painting. But printmaking send me accept letter on Feb 20.
Leahdog Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Did you just receive the email saying they are delayed in letting us know?? This is killing me! Yea!!! I'm freaking out too! I was getting sad about it before that email! At least they're giving us a very specific timetable now (Wednesday in the morning)..... I wonder if they're notifying everyone Wednesday morning? Most schools just notify accepted ppl and do rejections later for some reason. How did you think your interview went?? Also, someone asked about RISD painting, sorry dude I have no idea... You could do a search of this forum and past mfa freakout forums to get some info on that.
Derpderpderp Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone know if RISD's painting program is doing early acceptances like RISD sculpture is? I would expect the painting acceptances to go out a little earlier than wait list/ rejections. Risds spring break is next week so they will probably decide before? Who knows :/

You could do a search of this forum and past mfa freakout forums to get some info on that. I wondered the same thing too so I emailed and asked, they said they'll be letting everyone know if you're accepted, waitlisted, or admitted Wednesday morning! I really enjoyed the interview, I felt like the put me really at ease which was nice, so hoping for the best! How did yours go??
Leahdog Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Oh mine went well too! Taylor Baldwin seemed super interested in my work...but maybe that's just his personality to seem excited. I wasn't at ease though! I was so nervous the whole time, but I think I did well... Oh good going asking them that! That's good to know and super decent of them to call everyone no matter what... I feel like people in the RISD department are nice people!
UserNameLess Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 well people have said they've got acceptances from SVA and MICA so Im assuming rejection.... SVA is still sending out acceptances to my knowledge. What program?

He said, but I forget!
rooroo Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 vcu? columbia? Is it a lost cause at this point for acceptance to their painting programs?
