Fellow photographers, where  has everyone applied? Would love to see everyone's work!  Thought it might be cool to have a space for the photogs

[hypoart]

I think more of us have sprouted up now! Thanks for starting the photo thread.  I applied to: UCLA, UW, ASU, UT Austin, UNM, Columbia College, RISD, Yale, and MassArt. 

Looking forward to hearing about you and the other photo people!

Yay photo!

I applied to ASU, UNM, UT Austin, University of Arizona, and University of Oregon.

Has anyone gotten any results yet? Still waiting over here.

No results here yet either! The wait is tougher than imagined.Thinking about applying to Purchase and ICP Bard as both extended their deadlines.

So far one interview and a hit from UNM on my website.  So anxious!

What do you use to track visits to your site? I've been meaning to look into that. Congrats on your Austin interview btw, saw that in the other forum.

Thanks! I hope you hear from them soon! 

I use Google analytics, which you can sign up for here: https://www.google.com/analytics/

All you need to do is register then copy and paste the embed code into the appropriate page of your site.  I used a Weebly tutorial to help guide me, but not sure what you use to host your site.

Thanks!

I'm a bit unsure of UCLA's process. I've read posts suggesting they do/do not interview. I think I recall a post mentioning that if the department conducts interviews, you should expect a call the third week of February.

Where else did you apply?

Applied in photography to Yale, Columbia and ICP-Bard. Anyone else applying to some of those? Haven't yet heard back from any yet!

I think we'll find out about Yale on Friday.  ICP-Bard has a really great program!  I was going to apply there but just couldn't see myself living in NYC (weird, I know).

Hi,

Another photo applicant in here. My schools are in my signature. So far I got one interview with UOregon last week, and what seems to be a rejection from Michigan .

Good luck everyone, I'm really restless about this.

I'm out, unfortunately.  I think there was one mention in the Yale thread.  Were you one of the lucky few?

Just wrapped up the interview.  I fumbled over my words more than I would have liked 

Otherwise, it was short and sweet.  Ahhhhh! Now all that I can do is wait.

You guys send some good luck vibes my way. I would really like to hear from UNM or ASU soon. Pretty sure I'm rejected from everywhere else I've applied even though I've only gotten one officially.

I'm really hoping that you hear some good news!  Did you add analytics to your site, by the way? UNM should be notifying soon (around the 20th) and ASU by mid April, I believe.  I don't think either place conducts interviews.  Can any one confirm that?

I did add it to my site. I actually forgot I did that though until you just mentioned it. I'll have to look through it and see if I can analyze the results. I had no idea those schools didn't interview though, but that's mostly because I have no idea which schools do or don't. I didn't realize ASU would be so late. I saw that on the CAA page for them but for some reason didn't think that meant acceptances were going out that late. I thought it just meant that was the absolute latest they would notify someone. I don't know if my anxiety can handle waiting all the way until the middle of April. -__-

Hmm, I checked the results page and looks like there was an acceptance as early as February 20th so maybe you're right!

Oh I hope so! I do at least feel better knowing that no one seems to have heard from those two yet. I just need figure out how to stop driving myself nuts worrying.

Waiting is tough! I sure everyone fumbles over their words a bit, luckily I think the schools know the drill and won't judge us to harshly for it.  Do you mind sharing what kinds of questions they asked you?
