Also- have you looked at your slide room lately ? Is MFA back in the description? I also received an interview email from Columbia today, which was a group email addressed specifically to photography students. My slideroom says 2016 Photography MFA - I never saw "MFA" disappear at all this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss2 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 5 hours ago, junie said: I had an interview from SAIC last year and what I did was bring a portfolio book with photographic images(no detail shots) and one physical painting that was about 18"x18". They do project your portfolio and will flip through it while talking to you about your work, but they will also flip through your portfolio in the beginning if you brought one. I saw a few people brought in large scale paintings and I was intimidated because I thought that might hurt my chances of getting in, but I got accepted so I don't think it really matters too much if you bring physical work or not. I mean, I think it would be a plus since they would actually see and get a feel for the physicality of the work, but ultimately they are interested in what you have to say. That's super helpful, thanks. Do you think detail shots are a bad idea? How many photographic images did you bring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that everyone I met at the interview: possible applicants, current students, and faculty, were all extremely nice and understanding. Do you remember any questions they asked that stood out to you? Maybe one you wished you were better prepared for? I'm sure they ask different questions, but you never know!

mfinley6021 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Interviewing with SAIC for Painting.... Just had my Skype interview with Royal College... Still waiting to hear from Columbia, Hunter, and Boston... if any other painters have heard from these schools please let me know, otherwise I'll consider myself rejected. I hadn't planned to bring any physical work to Chicago with me, let alone have any detail shots prepared on my laptop, but after reading some of your guys posts i'm reconsidering. Did anyone else interview with RCA? Any afterthoughts about the interview? Mine went decently well...I was extremely nervous and it was a bit awkward because of the Skype.

Yes - I received this email twice (probably because I applied to two programs). I think it was a generic interview sent out to all applicants through slideroom just to keep us engaged, etc. I got interview invitations from Mt. Royal and Rinehart.

I'm quite nervous. And congrats to you as well!! Sounds like you have a lot of exciting options My advice would be to give answers that don't sound scripted, that's probably the best advice I can give anyone interviewing. They immediately asked me to talk about my work, why I wanted to go to RCA, and also (Since I'm American and won't be receiving any Financial Aid) how I planned to pay for school. The interview was a bit dry, and they seemed very professional... the interview wasn't much of a conversation... ... however, a lot of people are telling me that could just be the tone of the Brits, LOL.

haphazardedly Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Congrats to everyone who is seeing some movement. Not sure if these programs are on anyone's radar but I got an accept from RPI (Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute) and a skype interview next week for MIT's SMACT program.

beemovie Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Thank you @mfinley6021 !!! That is actually super helpful advice already I appreciate it--and yes a great reminder to be prepared for any Lost-In-Translation moments (especially humor-wise) with the Brits Edited February 17, 2016 by beemovie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
