Congrats! I got an email invite to interview at SFAI earlier this evening. Are you planning to do yours in-person? I'd love to ideally, but I think I'm going to wait a week or so to decide since I'm based on Long Island in NY (and three of the other four programs I applied to are on the East Coast, so I want to wait out for more decisions before I make the call to book a cross-country flight).

Thank you, and congrats to you as well! SFAI is one of my first choices so I've already booked my flight and I'll be interviewing in just over two weeks! I'm pretty nervous. What other programs did you apply to?

And congrats to all my fellow SAIC interviewees. Good luck to us all!!

I wonder if they sent out all the emails at once are or doing rejections later. Didn't hear from SAIC painting yet. Congrats to everyone who did though!

I know that they don't send out rejections for a while, but I don't know if they send out all the interviews at once!  If you don't hear by friday you could always call. 

[LAPHYSICS]

I interviewed with them when they were in Los Angeles, so that could have something to do with it, i'm hoping. Mostly because the interview went really well, at least so i thought.

So far I've been accepted into SAIC's Low-Res program and I have an interview scheduled with UT Austin this Saturday. Joined the forum because I wanted to know if anyone's heard from Bard? Their website says that they notify regarding interviews this week, but I haven't seen anything posted on here so far regarding any applicants being contacted!

To which department did you apply at Austin? Congrats!

is anyone else going to the OSU MFA visitation day on the 19th?

I got invited but I am not sure that I am going to go. I am in my last year of undergrad so I would have to miss class and last-minute tickets to Columbus aren't quite in the affordable range for me. If I get a definitive acceptance before the week is out I will likely attend, otherwise I can't risk it.

Also I have an interview w Berkeley tomorrow. Not sure if anyone else heard from them.

Thank you! I applied to their sculpture department. Nervous for the interview, but also really curious to hear more about the program.

Congrats! I have an interview for photo.  The more I see work from faculty and past grads, the more I like the program. I'm excited and nervous.

I too applied to Bard and have not heard from them. Anyone else applying to Bard?

[whoevenknows]

i also applied to bard, still haven't heard anything... still waiting...!   

[Alment]

does anyone know officially when the Yale interview day is?  I'm trying to book my flight for SAIC asap to save money and I just want to make sure i'm not squashing potential opportunities!  Seems like Yale will be the week of the 29th according to someone in the Yale forum but I just want to make sure its not Sat the 27th.  much appreciated

and continued good luck to you all!

Hi Jats, I still have not heard from Bard either but I also would assume news will be arriving by the end of the week

i know--i looked last night and they're about 800 bucks for me at this point! have you been in contact with anyone there? as you said, it might be an easier pill to swallow if we had some idea where in the process we are. i got the sense from one of the other posters on here that the visitation day invitation was extended to everyone that applied, but i have no more information than that. i think i might sit on it another couple of days (even though that won't help ticket prices) and see what the next email that they said we would receive shortly has to say. which discipline did you apply to?

Not sure if this helps, but I applied (and did a brief phone interview with drawing and painting faculty), and definitely did not get the invite to the MFA visitation day- so you guys might be further along than just the general applicant pool!!
