The VCU sell on the summer program reminded me of when I was visiting Tyler Arts at Temple. The professor I was meeting with stood me up and while I was waiting they tried to sell me on their post-baccalaureate program. I had to break it to them that I already have a Master of Arts and was thus uninterested. I ended up not applying there because the visit was so terrible. Thanks! I'm sorry to hear that. I went to Tyler undergrad, bummer that it left a bad taste in your mouth. Loved the painting program but the whole post-bacc stuff, blah, I'm sure its fine or whatnot but its all snake oil salesmen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did the Tyler summer program, it's more like a very directed residency than a post-bacc program given the duration. It was a really great experience for me as a fresh-out-of-undergrad artist, but definitely a big $$$ investment ... It's probably not worthwhile if you already have an MFA, but for anyone else on this forum who wants a bit more experience before applying to MFA programs / making some good connections at Tyler, I think it's worth looking into. Especially if you can get outside funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you can get outside funding. I totally agree that post-bacs and summer programs and MAs can do awesome stuff for your career. They are great opportunities for develop your work and put together a competive MFA application. I did a two year MA program after my undergrad and it was fantastic. I had a two-year teaching fellowship, studio space, and a lot of really great professional development opportunities. My personal experience at Tyler was very frustrating and rubbed me the wrong way, but that was just my experience. To me it's a testament to how important it is to visit the schools your interested in because it really is all about fit.

aniram415 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hey all, I have a question about waitlisting. I was waitlisted at Cornell with no interview, and I've also been waitlisted at a school where I did have an interview. Does that mean that if space were to open up at Cornell, that they would invite me to interview, or that they are accepting people without interviews ... ? Option B seems unlikely, but I'm not sure how that works. Any insight would be appreciated (: Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikcav Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I really wish schools would be prompt with their rejections. If I didn't get an interview at a school that does interviews, I'm automatically assuming rejection, but why not just notify those people when you notify of interviews? I'd like to start deciding what I'm going to do with my life for the next year until it's time to try applying again, but I feel like I can't until I absolutely have a no from everyone. Anyone else thinking they didn't get in anywhere? What are you going to do with your life now? Vun Hun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogss Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It was easy for me to enter this with high hopes, but I'm coming to terms with having to wait. I think it'll be good in the long run. Now I'm thinking about going for residencies, but I don't know much about applying to those. Another intimidating thing!

thetylerlynch Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is it common to get an acceptance with no word on funding? They both said they are "figuring out funding" but it seems like most people found out their funding and acceptance at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
