Oh okay they didn't email me at all, so I must not be waitlisted. Thanks and good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly feeling conflicted about whether it's a good move doing a MFA, anyone else feel worried they're making a mistake? I guess if It wasn't London and expensive to live here I felt less conflicted. I haven't been feeling conflicted about doing my MFA. However doing an MFA is a big comment that requires a lot from a person. You want to be sure that this is something you want to do. If you walk into the program with a half heart, it will make your time at an MFA program much more challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an interview and I thought it went well for painting, but I just keep getting emails from them about their program and no acceptance letter :/ Photo. How long ago was your interview? It took ~3 weeks after mine to get a decision, and I see from other posts in this thread that their acceptances have been sent out on all different days -- so I wouldn't worry so much!

I guess if It wasn't London and expensive to live here I felt less conflicted. I'm having second thoughts about the cities I might move to, but if I don't get into those programs I'll be scrambling for Winter session admission in Germany or elsewhere in EU. So, I think you have normal nerves and should focus on your professional goals, expensive city or not. 14 hours ago, Artsy2017 said: Dear Admission gods, Just come to a decision already! My inbox is on the brink of a nervous breakdown and my index finger is tired of refreshing this freak-out-forum. At this point, it doesn't matter what the decision is, JUST GIVE IT TO ME! Looking very, very forward to your response. godspeed, Your loving MFA Applicant So happy I'm not the only one feeling left alone in a desert with no water. 16 hours ago, Vespertine said: Accepted to RISD!!

Three weeks ago yesterday- flew out there in person - very annoyed my interviewer got switched from a painter to a sculptor - the interview strayed from my art pretty quick and ended up talking about charity work I do:/ not sure if that helped or not lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after reading through some of these posts I think some people get funding with their acceptance letters if the school really wants them I guess. That's great you were admitted. I was only informally accepted, I am still waiting for the real deal! Ha. A lot of waiting, no wonder it's a virtue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7edkim Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Also waitlisted for Cornell. I'm waitlisted for three schools and all of them after interview. Maybe my interview skills aren't as good as I thought :/ Starting feel like I'm not "good enough" for these big schools, or, I'm just an ungrateful bastard Wonder this means no funding oppotunity for Cornell..

It's not really a matter of lacking in commitment to the work, it's cost and practicality that's making me hesitate. The interviewer spoke of students commuting from Ireland as well as students having three jobs while attending. It'll be the first time I'll be going into any real debt since my previous two degrees were free thanks to the EU, that's probably why I feel a little spooked. I'm currently in London working on a project with a gallery so it's been eye opening seeing the cost of living expenses while here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle-Doodle Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've got my Hunter interview tomorrow and I feel so weird about it. The grad admin person there seems so weird in all of our communications, so many mistakes that aren't little whoopsies. Today was a shit show in terms of emails and tomorrow is my interview. peanutbutterjelly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
