BlCEO Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 14 hours ago, ChrisPW said: Small world! It's great to see that you're based in San Diego now, I hope you're doing well and that your MFA application process is going smoothly. I'm slightly terrified of the possibility of relocating to Cali since I've lived on Long Island all of my life and I've created photographic work only here (including documentary, still life, and landscape images). Do you have an advice for a working artist who might potentially relocate to a totally different location and climate? Thanks! Well everyone on the west coast in comparison to people on Long Island are much nicer, the climate is year round acceptable and in the landscape department there is way more stuff to shoot out here. My advice: Assimilate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alment Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just got wrong mailing from UCLA... It definitely scared the shit out of me but I'm wondering if anyone else got it? I received today a letter addressed to "Prospective Applicant" from the Architecture and Urban Design program. I just double-checked my whole UCLA app to make sure I didn't apply to the wrong department and everything looks pretty sound!? Although I enjoy looking through this lovely book the sent me... I wonder why they mailed it to a painting applicant because I was pretty careful during the whole application process and don't think I submitted any evidence of interest in architecture. heh... I really hope I wasn't mis-filed or something. I guess I mostly doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freaked out, wondering if I accidentally applied to the wrong program! But nope, I was okay. Weird. Alment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jats Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I got the same thing from the UCLA Acrchitecture School and I hadn't even applied to UCLA. I have received acceptances to SAIC Low Residency and UC Davis. I am waiting on Bard, CCA, SVA and Yale. I suppose I may be waiting thru February. Good luck to everyone. le.xenia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightlines Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks guys! @nikcav Maybe there's still a chance since all my communications with them have seemed fairly informal and he told me on the phone it still hadn't been processed through the graduate school so the website hasn't been updated and notices haven't gone out yet. Good luck, hopefully you'll hear something soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAPHYSICS Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Waiting on Yale, Cornell, Claremont, UCLA, SAIC, and Goldsmith's. All Painting/Drawing. I have already interviewed with SAIC (I talked to Candida Alvarez) when they came to LA but not formally. I've noticed some people have heard from SAIC already. Any Painting/Drawing students hear from them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtakaoka Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Aw, crap. I just got invited to interview for The Slade but my funding fell through weeks ago, so now I have to have an awkward conversation with them. After many emails back and forth with their admissions department regarding transatlantic application confusion (and almost a hundred dollars to ship a freaking portfolio cd over the pond), I am at a bit of a loss for what to do. Why is there no vomiting emoticon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barber Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hey y'all I have been reading this thread along with the yale one and I've seen a lot of people talking about shipping their portfolios to the interview, flying with them, or driving them, but it seems like lots of this talk is by the people applying for painting. This leads me to ask: DO I HAVE TO BRING MY WORK TO MY INTERVIEW???? (because I had no idea!) I'm applying for sculpture and could straight up not physically carry my portfolio to my interviews. I know this is a stupid question but any imput would be amazing as I'm really freaking out about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a stupid question but any imput would be amazing as I'm really freaking out about it! When you receive a notification that you are being invited for an interview, the school will provide details about what you should bring. Painting and Photography students are sometimes asked to bring prints or samples of artworks. Sculpture students might be asked to being small pieces, or samples of materials - you are definitely not expected to get on a plane with large artworks that don't travel easily! However, it might be a good idea to make some larger prints of your documentation and bring them in a simple plastic portfolio. That way your interviewers have something to easily flip through while they talk to you and don't have to fuss with slideroom or digital images.

I'm surprised I got an interview request from SAIC because my CV was wonky (I realized after I submitted I had two big typos) and I've been second guessing the portfolio I sent. I also applied to Printmedia so we'll see if I get anything from them too. I got it via phone call. I'm going to update the results page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
