Loosenyourtalktapes Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I just read on Columbia's website that notification goes out late April early May. Is this after an interview process? Also- any word on MICA? I have yet to get a rejection letter or an interview call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophiab Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm applying to MFA Interdisciplinary/New Media. My background is not in art, so I really have no sense at all where I will get in. So far: CCA - interview SFAI - interview RISD Berkeley UCLA UCSD Calarts CMU Cranbrook UCSC San Jose State I haven't heard from Calarts yet...probably a bad sign... I got rejected from Berkeley yesterday through email/online system. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alizarin Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I got rejected from Berkeley yesterday through email/online system. Sad. Hey Sophia, sorry about Berkeley. I got rejected too. I found out before I even got the email. I checked their website and it announced there that they already called their 7 people (out of 200+ applicants). Anyway, I saw your website, I really like your gouache paintings. I work with gouache too but I never tried on black paper. What kind of paper do you use? I love painting on Arches hot press but I've never seen a black one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 @littlenova: That would be awsome! Any clues as to what to expect would be really helpful. @lapzirdonocomad: Why did you drop out of MICA if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious12345 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Oh, and for anyone who is applying to SFAI...ask me anything about the school and I'll give you my honest answer. I graduated with my BFA in photography there last semester (FA2009), I am friends with the grad students and a bunch of the admin/faculty people.

Hey Racuerex- What are the grad studios like, and what is the vibe of the mfa program (ie, conceptual, rigourous, relaxed, pretentious...)? Thanks so much for your insight.

Thanks so much for your insight. Racauerex: I am considering applying to SFAI for painting. Any thoughts on that program or on SFAI grad generally would be appreciated. What is the reputation of SFAI? Is the Summer program worthwhile? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krixa Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I had a phone interview for UMass Dartmouth for painting on 2/19...they said that they would decide by the end of this week. They have four open spaces, so I have no idea if I have a chance. I haven't heard from: RISD MassArt BU SAIC SMFA Parsons Carnegie Mellon CalArts Emily Carr I have applied for painting or art MFAs at all of them. I think there are a lot of people applying this year, so the programs are competitive. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspmongo Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 My list, all Painting/Drawing except SAIC since they encourage multiple submissions: BU: ? FSU: ? Hunter: ? LSU: ? PAFA: Accepted (rec'd letter 22 Feb) SAIC - Painting: Rejected and offered to apply to post-bac (rec'd letter 22 Feb) SAIC - Sculpture: Rejected (rec'd letter 16 Feb) SAIC - Fiber & Materials: Rejected (rec'd letter approx 11 Feb) UGA: ? Whew - got into at least one. Although now I've gone from worrying about whether I'd get in at all to how I'm going to get the cost down to a manageable amount...

Grafeef Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hi everybody-- I was one of the folks waiting to hear from SAIC one way or the other (painting). Heard today by mail that they've rejected me for MFA but recommended that I apply for their 1-year post-bac. (I don't have a BFA or even an art major.) Does anyone know what the purpose of these post-bacs are? Will their post-bac erase the apparent mark against me for lacking the BFA when I apply again there and elsewhere for the MFA? Good luck to everyone--I hope everybody's holding up well. Tyler: Rejected SMFA: Interview MICA: Cranbrook: VCU: RISD: SAIC: Columbia: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone--I hope everybody's holding up well. Tyler: Rejected SMFA: Interview MICA: Cranbrook: VCU: RISD: SAIC: Columbia: I wonder if that's what's going on... all the people that initially got rejected heard last week and the people who got interviews heard the week before. I guess all the people that got rejected but were asked to do their post-bac at SAIC will hear this week?? That's my conjecture... I still haven't heard from them either. Where do you live Grafeef? Wondering if I'll get the same letter tomorrow... Anyways, I have a friend of a friend that is going to SAIC for their post-bac and they like it a lot. I think it's for the people they think have potential but aren't quite there yet in SAIC's eyes. I don't have a BFA either but I'm not sure that really makes a difference if you have a strong portfolio. Just my thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
