downtomars Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Mustered up the courage to email Tyler this morning to ask what's going on, and finally got some official word that I'm on the waitlist. apparently they will "have decisions made by the beginning of next week at latest." ? sylviecerise and Poodle-Doodle 2

Poodle-Doodle Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 UCLA didn't offer a whole lot in $$$ The finalist are Columbia and SAIC. @leekrasner mad props for reaching out to your schools. There's never nothing wrong with asking who, what, when, where, why and how! That's the most important fearless thing that you can do! downtomars 1

At this point, I don't think Tyler's even knows what they're doing! After an email exchange with the Chair of the painting dept a few weeks back. I just determined that Tyler was not going to be a good fit. He admitted they're having funding issues with recruiting the incoming class. Too much miss information dates being thrown around that have long since passed. Folks finding out their applications were never reviewed by the review committee. The last min class size to 5 might of work for other folks, but I didn't find the exclusiveness of just 4 other painters to be attractive. Whatever I'm gucci, I'm still young and beautiful I have time to find another amazing MFA program but not enough patiences Tyler! sylviecerise 1

Damn, that's surprising about UCLA—always thought they had good funding. Guess things might have changed this year. :\ You're gonna dominate whatever scene you go into!!! Columbia vs SAIC with full ride is a seriously tough choice, but you're have an incredible experience either way!

If I hadn't back in February I would have never found out they messed up my application either. Like you said a few pages ago, I don't believe in no, but no(t right now) lol. Gonna keep making work and doing my thing, try again next year. 2 hours ago, Zander said: At this point, I don't think Tyler's even knows what they're doing!

Shame, because I really like some of the faculty, and some of the students and alumni that have come from Tyler. I might re-apply next year based on those factors, but, like you said, we're young and got time. Best of luck to you on your endeavors! Poodle-Doodle 1

So strange, I was just on the phone with graduate admissions at Tyler asking about the status of my app today, and they told me I'd hear by April 1st. They said no rejections had gone out yet, that some acceptances had, but that applications were still being reviewed, and when I asked about a wait lsit they said they didn't know about one.

What the heck?! The graduate admissions office at Tyler is a mess. They apparently didn't sync my portfolio and application, and only forwarded it to the painting department when I emailed them asking about my status. I suggest just emailing your department head directly to get a better idea.
emilydebroux Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Anyone have any advice for negotiating a scholarship?

Pratt offered me $30k and I asked for more and they told me that was the highest amount offered and half their students receive no scholarship. -_____- I'm not going to go to grad school and just be anxious the entire time of how much debt I'm going into to be there.

Yeah I really don't think working in grad school outside the school is a good idea, it really distracts you for the reason why you're there!
