llyMx Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I just received an e-mail from Parsons for an interview! This is my first response from all New York schools so far. Because it's so soon I'm going to interview via Skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyndsi Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 18 hours ago, 09welshs said: Question about the interviews, if doing them in person, how early should I arrive in advance? Fly in a day before? Two days so I can get settled? I'm coming up from Arkansas, and am really worried about Boston weather! Like, what happens if I have a plane delay because of another Snowmaggedon or something? I would hate to spend the extra money on another night in a hotel if I did not have to! Luckily my SMFA and Yale interviews are basically back to back, so I can knock it all out with one trip. Anyone else worried about the whole flight scheduling thing? I grew up in Boston, and I would fly at least 24 hours before you want to be there. So if you fly the day before, fly as early as possible. You are more likely to have a weather delay if you have a layover at JFK or newark then if you fly directly to Logan, based on what I've seen. Hope that helps.

gtakaoka Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 So I'm still sitting here on a mental merry-go-round about the Penn interview and wanted to ask fellow interview preparers: what are y'all doing to get ready? Maybe this should be posted to a different thread, but we're all reading this one regularly so why not. My current plans involve going over that handy interview question sheet that has floated around for a year or two on this forum, re-reading my statement of purpose/artist statement/etc that I sent to that school (since each school wanted slightly different information), and preparing some questions for the interviewers in case they ask (they always seem to). Also...praying to every deity that I can think of and asking them to help me not sound dumb. P.S. congrats on everyone who's getting good news! hypoart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to revisit faculty work as well and review program specific career/studio opportunities. I'm so nervous. First interview tomorrow. Good luck with your preparation! gtakaoka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxanderr Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Herd about the Paris trip, don't think they're offering that this year sadly. If I get in I'm going to consider enrolling for the summer! What did you friends think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get in I'm going to consider enrolling for the summer! What did you friends think of it? Almost everything I have heard about the program has been positive. The only negative I heard had to do with the Paris trip so it shouldn't apply in your case. The studios for the program are the undergrad and first-year painting MFA studios. From what I understand, there are daily studio visits with Gregory Amenoff as well as several visiting artists. The program is pretty intense, like everything at Columbia. I know one of my friends started a new painting each day of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an international applicant, thus I'll be conducting the interview on 12:10 PM via Skype (which means it'll be 12:10 AM over here lol). To be perfectly honest, I'm afraid I'll screw the interview up considering my English isn't that good (and I tend to ramble a lot to the things that I haven't reflect that much) and my engineering background isn't that much of help. I'm currently compiling a set of possible questions from last year's thread so I can have some sort of mock interview with my close friend lol. Oh well, best of luck to both of us! hi rexkingiv :^) i hadn't thought of looking up questions but i think i have an idea of what they might ask. I actually wasn't able to reserve a spot, it's all taken up. i'll have to call tomorrow and let them know of this. since domestic candidates have to be seen in person. anyway, what country are you from?

I visited the campus in September, but didn't get to meet any faculty/students (there were all at the Istanbul Biennial!). I wrote about my thoughts a while about, about UIC too if you want to do a search in this topic. What did you think about Irvine when you interviewed/visited last year? Did you get any difficult questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
