Hey Fellow Applicants :)

I am beginning my first round of MFA applications.  I work as a large scale painter and muralist with much of my work incorporating community involvement.  I am very interested in relocating to Philadelphia for the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and working with them before or during an MFA program.  I noticed that Temple offers grad courses for non-matriculating students and my current painting professor mentioned that she enrolled as a non-matriculating student for a number of semesters before being accepted into her well regarded program.  

I'm curious your thoughts on taking courses before applying to get a feel for the school/professors?  Also, any recommendations of other programs that emphasize community practice?  

I'd also love advice for schools to apply to.  I'm interested in an interdisciplinary, practice based program.  Fit and finance are more important to me than rank and I am really inspired by more representational aesthetics (NYAA, PAFA) etc.  Thoughts?
