littlemistress Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Has anyone heard back from SAIC in the MFAW program? They emailed me last week stating there were missing pieces from my application, then emailed right back saying that they found the missing bits. Has this delayed my decision letter or is everyone who is still waiting for letters just the tail end of the rejected pile? Are they coming in snail mail or email form?? I can't stand the waiting...
rama Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 congratulations kewpies, rksim, and jestem, thats just fabulous! I am getting more and more nervous about the interview: Interview Yale MassArts ICP-Bard Waiting Coulumbia Univ RISD
MichelleRaminPaints Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 So still nothing from SAIC's painting program... but oddly enough, I got an email today asking me to contact SAIC's art education department about an interview with them?!?!!! I didn't even apply to that program! I'm just beyond confused... has anyone else not heard anything from SAIC for painting yet? It's driving me crazy! and still nothing from: Columbia RISD UCLA PNCA Univ. of Wash. Interview with SFAI scheduled for next Tuesday... wish me luck!
Jestem Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hey Jestem , are you an international student? I applied to SAIC too and am not from the states, I haven't heard anything back yet though. Did they offer any funding? Yes, I'm an international student. They haven't mentioned anything about funding but they told me an admission packet is in delivery. Hopefully, funding information is included in it. Good luck to you on your applications!
Crayons574 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 congrats, everyone, who is getting acceptances! that is awesome!

Didn't someone else say that they knew of someone getting interviews at SAIC painting?
Tim Riggins Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Yes, the SAIC painting interview notifications were sent out the week before last. The interviews are taking place on March 6th - 7th. That's probably not great news if you haven't already heard, but very best of luck to you. Edited February 24, 2010 by Tim Riggins

That's probably not great news if you haven't already heard, but very best of luck to you. Hey guys, I just checked the 'international students' section of SAIC website, and found this about interviews: "The School of the Art Institute of Chicago recommends interviews for all graduate applicants and requires them for several programs. International students residing outside the United States are not required to have a personal interview, and will be evaluated solely on their portfolios and supporting documents." So if you're an international student, maybe that explains why you haven't heard yet....

turnip Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Wow! Congrats to all those who are getting acceptances!

Yes, SAIC interviews are March 6,7 for painting. I know someone interviewing for fibers, but was rejected for sculpture 2 weeks later via letter.

EDIT: Found an answer on SAIC's Facebook fan page. They said 6-8 weeks after the deadline date, and the 6 week mark lands on this Friday. Gives me the heebie jeebies. Good luck!

Yes, SAIC interviews are March 6,7 for painting. I know someone interviewing for fibers, but was rejected for sculpture 2 weeks later via letter. That's funny, I actually work at NIU and I'm applying to UW-Seattle. What made you pick NIU? (I'm applying there too, I've been working for the campus for the last 2 years since I moved to Illinois)
pionkowskig Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Any word from Cornell, VCU, RISD, or OSU (Painting)?

akinanana Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Any word from Cornell, VCU, RISD, or OSU (Painting)? My friend has an interview with Cornell.
isavedlatin Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Still nothing from SAIC, this sucks! If Im rejected I just want to know so I can go on with my life and focus all my anxiety on the other 4 schools Im waiting on me too! I'm cutting my losses though. As in, YOUR LOSS, SAIC.
2DifferentSocks Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Hey everyone, Here is my list thus far (I applied to a lot of places): I applied in sculpture to places that offered it, otherwise in the general MFA art programs. Yale:Rejected RISD:Interview Cornell:Interview Michigan:Interview University of Chicago:Accepted with half tuition funding Alfred:Accepted with full funding plus stipend (They offer this to everyone accepted) Ohio State:Accepted and high on waitlist for funding USC:Nothing yet VCU:Nothing yet Iowa:Nothing yet Tyler:Nothing yet Quick question, I may not find out if I get funding from Ohio State until the last minute (depends on when people tell them if they are not going there). Anyone have any idea what the typical Ohio State funding package is? I just am wondering because it would be good to know to weigh against other options. I wish everyone the best of luck with the process and congratulate those who have been accepted to places. For those who haven't been, don't sweat it. I applied to eight places last year and got a big zero in the acceptances department. So things really can change in a year so don't get too down!
