I had thought Temple interviewed everybody. They conducted interviews for the painting department the second week of February. Who knows though, they've been pretty aloof this entire process. I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks! I guess I'll find out soon enough.

For those of you who applied to SVA for Photo, they have sent out acceptance offers today.

Expand  

Thanks for sharing the information!

Are they going to send out all acceptances at one time?

Thanks

No, I interviewed in person in February. When did they tell you that you've been accepted? They sent me everything in an email.

I also interviewed in person around the same time as well.  I was notified of my acceptance not too long ago, but there weren't any details on funding and I checked the portal, but there weren't any updates on the financial award. Sounds like you got a good deal though.  Is it your first choice?

-Southern Illinois University wants to interview me in person for a GA-ship-anyone know if schools pay for travel expenses for MFA applicants? Cool Opportunity though-its exciting.

Expand  

Congrats! Did they specifically say GA-ship in your letter?

yes, they want an in person interview-which I am weary about because of travel expenses.

Will they let you skype instead? 

Expand  

I am not sure. I feel like they should. I think it is very reasonable. It makes a lot of sense about the interview being in-person. He said in his email they would consider alternative arrangements. He did mention that he passed my message onto the committee to discuss my option.

If anyone else is waitlisted at Pratt for Painting, I emailed them a few days ago and they sent me back some information. They said painting was their largest program so they have 49 people waitlisted. That seems like so many to me. They didn't seem to be able to tell me my placement on the list or if they'd be taking anyone from it.

I'm wondering if after an interview it is normal to send an e-mail or reach out in some way to thank the committee again for the opportunity. I don't know that it would make a difference, but was just unsure of the etiquette there.

I asked around and it seemed generally fine, however I was told to keep it casual and concise. I did this recently and actually got a polite response back from one of my interviewers. Hope that helps!
