Anyone know if schools will call you if for some reason your application is incomplete, or do they just reject you?  Thats what I worry about ha.

Non-Pro question

How big of a deal is to miss a recommendation letter in your Application?

I am wondering the same thing FAR. Were you able to resolve this? I am missing a letter on two of my applications. I hope it is forthcoming but I'd rather not risk it so I tried to go back into my applications to add another name but it wouldn't allow it. I think I might email the schools and see if I can send in hard copies.

Has anybody else dealt with this?

I just went ahead and asked to another recommender that was going to be faster.

Regardless I asked the schools and they were very flexible with a late recom letter .... So dont worry much

I know this happened past year. Someone posted the estimated Dates when Schools notify applicants ...

 

For what I've heard from the past is:

 

Yale - First Week February

Bard - Second Week February

UCLA - March

USC - April

 

 

Might be someone could add more data?

Second this. This wasn't my case, but I have heard the same in the past. They're flexible with transcripts and letters of rec. Things you ultimately do not have control over when they're sent.

I have just received a call from UCSB faculty notifying me that I was admitted.

You can search for grad school admissions notification from the past years. Go to Search Result at the top of the page. In the past year Yale MFA program usually responses back Feb 1st, with rejections and Interview notifications. 

 

Good luck everyone!

What is the typical age for someone going into an MFA program, does it matter?

I'm an older student, but I don't know that it can matter. Age is a protected class.

Got a phone call today for an interview invitation for saic performance. The person I spoke to didn't know when other departments would be notifying.

Anyone have any notifications from the University of Oregon?  The recent forums..only one person has applied, and there's not much help within the notes.
