OHSOYEA Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I think the big question now is has anyone received REJECTIONS from Columbia yet? Or are we assuming rejection if we haven't heard from them at this point? Also has anyone heard from UCLA or Hunter or know when we're supposed to be hearing from them?

I'm assuming rejection from Columbia now since interview requests have definitely gone out. no word on UCLA though...

looingk Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Hi! How usual is it to have a program interview you you twice by two different faculty members? This is happening to me with UW right now, I'm slightly worried.

Xxanderr Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Had my UPenn interview yesterday, and they will be contacting everybody who applied with a decision within the next 2 weeks! They're interviewing 60 and will be accepting about 18! UCLA has the slowest MFA admission process in the world. meganmoriartyart and BlCEO 2

trapnado Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Interview with Carnegie Mellon for painting. Got an email a couple minutes ago
trapnado Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Like many others, I am still waiting to hear from UCLA and hunter
Alment Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I think hunter will not notify for another week or so... anyone hear from RISD painting yet?
xanderesse Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I've now received word from every school but Hunter and Columbia Sculpture. It's going to be a busy two weeks. A good busy!
spotless_mind Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Has anyone heard anything from Stanford's Art Practice???

I haven't seen anyone on the forum get an interview this go-round, but the committee met in January -- I've been assuming rejection since early February.

Wait, but its website says this, "the application review takes place between mid-February and mid-March; applicants are notified by mail of their status by March 15th."

I wonder what that means for other CMU MFA applicants. Did it seem like an individual email or a mass email to everyone getting an interview? You heard a lot earlier than applicants have in past years. meganSchn 1
Relm Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Just now, Pulsar said: Wait, but its website says this, "the application review takes place between mid-February and mid-March; applicants are notified by mail of their status by March 15th." Stanford winnows it down to a shortlist, and if you make it that far, it's mandatory to come to the farm for interviews. I suppose it's theoretically possible that they could notify shortlist candidates now for an in-person interview in a couple of weeks, and then they'd make a really fast decision by that date. But, let's be honest, the odds of that are close to nil. Friend of mine who attended an open house in the fall mentioned they said the committee would review and pick their shortlist in mid- to late January. If you haven't heard yet, it's most probably a lost cause. meganSchn 1

Also I feel like I saw someone had an interview for CalArts focused in painting, does anyone know how/ when then notified and if they're done notifying?

It seemed pretty general but also pretty informal and addressed me by my first name. They want me to email them back an interview time that works for me. Hope that helps. Good luck!
raaawr Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 hello! has anyone here heard from parsons yet?
Photo1234 Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Just received an invitation for an interview with ICP-Bard. Anyone else? Vun Hun and hypoart 2
haphazardedly Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 @trapnado that is helpful. Thank you! Hopefully I get an interview invite in the next day or so but I won't get my hopes up. Good luck!

Calarts I got 4 invitations for interview Could you tell me Which program is better? I'm an international applicant from Asia, and don't have many information about the schools. Because I am not confident in ability to speak English, I should focus one Why not just interview at all the schools and then decide which is best suited for you? jennaleigh26 1
