I got invited but have not received a follow-up email with further instructions yet. When are you interviewing and for each department? And are you going in person or doing it by Skype?

I'm applying for New Genre and my interview is on march 3 in person 

Was just getting nervous because I haven't heard any follow up yet about what to prepare!

Also best of luck!!

I'm glad other UCI people are also still waiting, I was told in an email all applicants would be told of their status in March, but some had interviews on here so I'm just holding my stomach and heart in my throat for now.

I just got an email from RCA!! Interview March 16th! :) I probably check my email 200 times today hahah

SAME!!! I must have checked like every 30 min ..

Mine is March 14th! I live in Toronto so I'm thinking about asking for a skype interview :/ 
... but RCA is my #1 choice and I'm sure that actually showing up for the interview would bode well for my chances at getting accepted. 
Are you going to attend in-person??

Congrats btw!!!!

Have been watching this thread to see if any news came in about the one and only program I applied to (UNC - Chapel Hill) - but it seems there hasn't been. I know it's a small program so maybe no one waiting on this one, but I just heard from them (finally!). So, just joining to post the little that I know now. 

If anyone was waiting - I was just told they have been late in getting out any word to applicants, and are still working on it because they are still trying to sort out funding for the year which is in flux. Personally, I'd kinda started losing hope since I know they've been earlier with their decisions in the past. But I got in, just got a call, and I'm thrilled. But I hope their normal funding comes through! 

Good luck to all those still waiting, it's stressful!

So I guess this is it for this week... 

I'm still waiting for U of Washington and Stanford (and VCU, but it seems like they have already sent out the invitations... although haven't seen sculpture person...)

From last year's forum UW and Stanford both sent out interview request around 15th, so I guess... I don't know. Lost all hopes...

?

Was also waiting for Hunter. 

Have you applied for other schools? Hope you get some good news from somewhere else. I have been rejected by Yale and Hunter, I know it is both schools that receive loads of applications... It sucks tho. But well.

Don't get too down on yourself! I applied to Hunter three years ago and received an interview invite but didn't get admitted, and I applied again this year and didn't get an interview. I've been mentally tormenting myself the last several hours over this outright rejection, especially because I felt I made a lot of personal artistic progress since my first application and interview. However, admission into these MFA programs is extremely competitive, and I reminded myself that I'm personally able and subsumed in my medium, and that I will spend the next ten months working and pushing myself further than I now think I can. 

But in conclusion, don't get stuck in bed! Take this disappointment and use it as a motivation to produce boundary-pushing pieces and works.

Got rejections from Yale and Rutgers, was very upset and demotivated to do anything. Really forced myself to go work in the studio and after couple of days felt better. Last week got interviews from two programs in MICA and yesterday from Hunters. Just to say cheer up and spend time practicing, work is the best cure.

Received a vcu sculpture interview notice earlier this week, although I've read that, in the past, people have received late invites and still gotten in.

Yea, I had really convinced myself I had a high chance of being accepted there, which was a dumb idea.  Ugh.

What pisses me off about NEU cancelling the MFA I applied to is that I could have used that effort and fee on another school. smh.

Gahh ... I haven't replied to the interview invite yet to confirm. Flights to London are $700 alone ... and I've used up all my paid vacation days at work. 

Have you decided if you're going for the interview? I hate skype interviews but I feel like going to London next month isn't really in the cards for me ...

Hey Everyone! I have been silently following this forum for sometime now and thought I would making an account. I just wanted to say to everyone hang in there, decisions are still coming out. For everyone who has already been accepted to an MFA program, congrats :D! For everyone preparing for interviews, good luck! I also wanted to thank everyone who have been giving out advice about the application and interview process.

I applied for an MFA in painting and currently preparing for interviews. I applied to schools in the U.S., although I am not an international applicant. I have been living outside of the U.S. for some time now. 

Stay strong, Good Luck, and if there this anything I can do to help, feel free to reach out :D

Hi there and welcome!  Congratulations with the interviews!  I am also an international applicant (from South Africa). Currently preparing for my interview with Pratt that will be in a few hours! Stressing but also very excited! Where did you apply?
