Hey All!

I applied to these schools for an MFA in Ceramics:

U of Minnesota

Ohio State

Alfred

VCU

Georgia State

UCLA

LSU

here's my website www.jendwyerstudio.com

Has anyone heard anything from any of these schools? I was wait listed from Minnesota but haven't heard anything from any of the other school :/

i don't know if it helps, but I heard from Ohio State unofficially last week and officially by mail this week (sculpture not ceramics)

I'm totally fascinated by how many people have viewed this thread but how few have responded to it (including me). This has all the makings of a social experiment. Schools Applied To (in no parti

My site is also in progress--I decided to revamp it right before submitting all of the grad applications, and I haven't had a chance to flush it with all of the text it needs yet--but the images of my

Alfred is amazing for ceramics. I applied there for Sculpture and have not heard anything yet.

@meganmoriartyart you were also wait listed at Minnesota? Did they let you know what position you are on the waitlist/ what program did you apply to. This process is so stressful lol!

Haha, Yeah, I applied to the sculpture program. Apparently they're not releasing the rankings because some people applied to multiple programs and " this admissions process is complicated by internal funding issues". Essentially, every MFA finalist is just swimming around in the same pool until they maybe get plucked. Very annoying :wacko:

Pretty sure that because of this same phenomenon, my site went from nowhereville to the first page of Google. ;)

Hey All, 

My name is Irvin, Im a Brooklyn based painter. I'm new to the forums. I've read a bit of the MFA info on the forums and found it very helpful! This is my first time applying for MFA programs. (not expecting to hear anything from schools this year :\ ). Definitely open to any and all feedback as I'm working on my painting practice full time now, and figuring things out (hopefully)! Looking to start a dialog with other painters and artists on the forum :)

Applied to:

Yale / Columbia / SAIC / RISD

Work:

You're too kind man, thank you, checked out your paintings, really nice work!! I had no luck with grad school this year, which is fine. Maybe I'm too fixed in my work, not sure, would be great to talk to someone about maybe what could be done differently when approaching these school, or if its even necessary? Not sure, just wanted to give a try this year, i've thought about doing it for a while.

Coming from engineering background, I don't know how to articulate my thoughts clearly when observing a painting or a sculpture, but man, seriously, your stuff are wicked good. I especially love your Identity Tape #1 (Heartbeat) piece. I also saw your bio and I thought, "Dang, this person's life must be really, really interesting." Congrats on your Yale & Columbia acceptance!

@rexkingiv Thank you so much for your thoughtful response!

Hi @BlCEO, back then when you posted your portfolio, I actually wanted to post something nice about it because I really dig your works but I completely forgot to do so, sorry! This is kind of out of topic, but I always fascinated with the works coming from Cooper Union. I started following your school and wllstwrt's closely after I stumbled upon the works and essays of Zak Smith and Kevin Slavin. So yeah, just wanted to say that lol.

Oh, and also there's this tweet (which I kind of agree lmao).

Hey thanks I appreciate it!

I think I'm okay with calling anyone that went to SVA a prisoner of Azkaban.  ha
