Hey, didn't want to undermine the bad taste that rejection feels. I also got disappointed on not being invited for interview. But just think we should value our works more than the institutions themselves. So respect for your mourning, ofc. And for everyone else's as well. Did you apply for other programs? I am now reading this thread of the back up plans here in the forum and it is giving me a lot of good ideas of residencies and things to do if none of the MFA applications works out.

I interviewed with photo last year and it was a pleasant experience. They asked why I worked in my medium (photo as opposed to video) and asked me to go through each slide and explain what I was doing. We also talked about what I would get from attending SAIC. I don't know about sculpture but they have nice, central studio spaces and an amazing cage, and some faculty work was relevant to mine so I brought that up. I waited a year to reapply because my financial aid package was 2/3 of all costs out of pockets (on loan). Anyway, I think their style of interviews is condusive to Skype, I am sure you'll do great. There will be some 2nd year MFA students in the room so I regretted not coming up w specific questions to ask them. Best of luck to you! Enjoy Spain!! I also agree with YayYayYay. There are days when I receive three rejections in my inbox. It stings but I have to keep making work, sustain myself and remind myself that I am lucky to be able to choose what I want to do in life. That said everybody here is so talented and I really hope acceptances will flow in soon ☺️ Best of luck to everyone! Thank you Mina for sharing your experience! Hope you nail it in your interview!

Apple Ginger Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 On 2/4/2017 at 4:04 PM, Echo_in_ground said: hi Apple Ginger, sorry yes there were of course individual studio spaces but they wouldn't be the size of space I would be able to film or build a set in, whereas the RCA have a filming studio with lighting, sound booths etc, I have niche needs the two rooms are used for crits, setting up and testing work, documenting work, pretty much anything you can think of. The studio sizes were decent by London standards. Nice! Thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bblox Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 been following for a while, finally got the courage to chip in, as I am starting to really freak out... applied to ucla, cranbrook and rca - all painting. my husband is american and moved to switzerland for me last year, but it isn't easy with him not speaking the language so moving back to the US or at least an english speaking country would be helpful for us, which is why this whole process seems to take on a whole other layer of importance for me I am thinking about applying to schools in switzerland though for safety, last year I applied to Columbia and Yale, didn't work out and I'm just dreading another round of rejections... luckily deadlines here aren't until march and the benefit would be that I wouldn't have to worry about financing as schools here are cheap... best of luck to all of you!

I've interviewed at both Columbia and Hunter in years past (I am the waitlist champion) and both notify typically later in the month. hunter notified 2/25/14 and columbia notified 2/17/15 although I think the "mfa" slideroom drop thing happened a day or two prior.

chikapea Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Hey all! So here's where I'm at and yes I applied to a lot of schools. Last year I interviewed at Yale, but was rejected, Cranbrook, and NYU. I was accepted to Cranbrook and NYU but they ended up being too expensive to attend. So I have a longer list this year and hoping something works out. This process is extremely stressful! :0 hopefully 2nd times the charm! Here's where I've applied: MFA Painting 2017 Northwestern - rejected Columbia - UCSB- interview 3/4 University of Oregon - University of Washington- Bard- Boston University - interview 2/28 Ohio State University- interviewed 1/20 Rutgers - Cornell - Indiana University - Wishing everyone the best of luck on interviews! It looks like last year people were notified for interviews for Rutgers on Feb. 9 and calls for interviews at Columbia were made on Feb. 13. Feb. 10 notifications for interviews at Bard went out....in case you're curious! hang in there! (easier said than done) Edited February 6, 2017 by chikapea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
