Hey Weighted_by_Gold,

Just wondering, how did SAIC notify you of your Deans Scholarship?  

Thanks!

Hey, Thanks! I certainly hope I do see you!

I got a call from the Painting Dept. about the acceptance/award. I haven't received the official letter yet (in west coast).

[Xxanderr]

It was pretty bad! Their still trying to finalize funding for the department. Since it's the only school I like, I can afford to wait into they figured things out. Hoping to hear something back a lil before April 15th.

anyone who interviewed with Columbia university photo or new genres get an acceptance call? I havent heard anything so I called the admissions office this morning who just told me that all decisions are to be made by the end of the month...

Hey i have a bit more news! I heard someone got an acceptance call yesterday and said Columbias still calling all week. They got in for painting but I imagine it's a similar situation with other departments. 

[oneagain]

Thanks for the intel!

I got a rejection letter in the mail about 2 weeks ago. Hoping for you that no news means good news!

[Laceybug]

So SMFAs website says it was updated last Tuesday and I still haven't heard anything on my decision. Losing my mind. I'm guessing it's another rejection coming my way. Why must they torture me so?  Temple left me this lovely message on my dashboard saying my award was being held up by missing financial aid documents when my application had already been rejected. These admissions departments are so cruel!

[aniram415]

Oh man, accepted to Cranbrook Sculpture. Aaaah not a clue how I'm supposed to afford it, especially begin an international student (I'm Canadian). Anyone else in a similar boat?

[KRT]

Has anyone heard from Tulane? I thought their admissions decisions would have been in last week or the week before...

still nothing on my end.

My SAIC Printmedia acceptance letter was dated the day after my interview. Honestly thought it was a rejection letter when I first seen it, since I herd so late. Not sure why everthing is being mailed to me while everyones else gets a phone call or email...

Did any Printmedia folks get scholarship awards yet??

[Modal_Pieces]

Does anyone have a general idea of what SAIC's scholarship structure is like/how many each department offers? 

I was was previously under the impression that each dept only gives out one full ride, but it seems partials are awarded as well? One full ride with 2-3 partials?

did you meet anybody else during interview day that you are still in contact with? the two of us seem to be the only ones here who had an interview and I don't know if it's a good or a bad sign that we both didn't hear anything...

I also heard the thing about 'hearing back one or two days after the interview'...so I'm starting to get worried :/
