Congrats! I knew they would be sending out notifications this week, it being two weeks after the due date. I have not heard anything from painting. If I don't hear anything this week, then I think I know my application's fate.

@icw Thanks! It sounds like each department selects their own finalists. I got an e-mail from the head of Photo. Good luck and hope you hear back!

It's okay! Keep working there are so many schools. Plus it gives fuel to the fire to keep making.

Yep you're right! I've had a couple of interviews so far and 2 upcoming ones but I was so hoping Rutgers would work out. Oh well! Are you waiting on any other schools?

Nice, congrats! I applied ceramics & haven't heard anything.

Thank you! Hope you get good news as well!

Just got an email invite for an interview for MFA Painting at Pratt Institute.  Also had an interview with UT Austin in the beginning of the month.  Still waiting to hear from UCLA and VCU.  I don't see a lot of people talking much about UT Austin and Pratt, is there not as much interest in these institutions?

Bravo!

I applied for Painting and haven't heard anything yet either. Had a little shock moment there, but I guess our departments will let us know soon as well

Thank you! 

Looking at other schools it seems like they deliver the answers not all at the same time and according to departments so you might still get good news. Good luck!

@BrainDamage Congratulations with the interview at UT Austin! I was told that they should be notifying the interviewees by the end of the month.  Let me know if you hear something! Hopefully it will be good news!

Thanks for sharing! I'm going a little nuts over here waiting for hunter!

@desertdog

LOL just received their rejection letter.

[downtomars]

Turns out my Tyler application wasn't synced because I changed my last name recently and they didn't group the two names together. Whew, good thing I emailed them! Apparently they're not conducting any interviews for Painting this year, and updates will be sent at the beginning of March.
