Hi! @disjunctivesyllogism @jnhjnh I had an interview with RISD on February 20th for the graphic design 2 yr program. There were two other people interviewing the same day that I was there for the 3 year graphic design program... so I think that they already sent out interview requests.  

Oh no ?

Hey everyone- I'm new to this site, specifically joined because of the MFA discussion- side note- are there other MFA discussion - or professional artist forums out there? 

I applied to Yale and Hunter, (painting program) denied, denied. 

I also applied to Boston University Painting dep- got an interview, haven't heard back yet. 

What are the reasons why a person wouldn't be accepted? Does anyone want to take a look at my stuff and give me a harsh critique, seriously? Does this matter- I have nothing on my CV- sad I know. I'm 25, what can I do to improve my chances for next year? Should I focus on the work, my CV, statement? 

I know this question is super ambiguous, let me know if anyone has any thoughts. 

My work can be found here- my site

Thanks, Emily 

I like your paintings

Howdy everyone, I have been reading the more resent posts for a couple days now. Im applying for printmaking, so far I have gotten rejected from one place and have an interview at purchase. I haven't heard back from Uconn, Ohio state and Indiana Bloomington yet. Purchase was the only application that I didn't list the size or medium of my pieces.

Hello! Has anyone who interviewed at Stanford heard back yet?

[chikapea]

Hi all! Did anyone that had an interview with Univeristy of Oregon or Boston University hear back yet? Thanks!

Welcome stranger - there are other printmakers on this forum who are also applying during this cycle.

Awesome! I had my interview for Sound Arts last Monday and they told me I'd hear within a week; I also missed a call from NY this morning but when I called back it was spam lol so I'm kind of freaking out hahahaha. Nonetheless I'm amazingly happy for you. Congrats.

Thank you! They said all decisions would come out around mid to late march. Give it some more time.

For UMich people-- I just got a Linked-In request from Meghan Jellema, the Grad Program Coordinator. Wondering if this went out to everyone who was interviewed, or if means something.... 

 

Same thing happened to me, haven't heard a peep aside from that. Kind of getting mixed signals now that others are getting interviews and accepted already. What does it mean??
