sophiab Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I grew up in the area too! (well about half an hour from Cranbrook, but... ) It is a beautiful place. Congrats on all of the acceptances! Oh really?! I grew up in Clarkston, and I went to Marian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebe1228 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Accepted to VCU painting with funding on Tuesday 2/23 via phone call! What did they say to you when they called? I was under the impression that VCU doesn't notify applicants of acceptance over the phone. At least that is what their website says, "When an admissions decision has been made, you will receive an official written notification of that decision from the dean of the VCU Graduate School. Please be advised that admissions decisions cannot be released over the phone." http://www.vcu.edu/arts/prospective_students/graduate_studies/index.shtml Is their website just wrong?

Loosenyourtalktapes Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I have been nervous to post things on the forum because part of me doesn't want to know BUT... Here is my list. Anyone hear back from RISD, Columbia, SVA, NYU, MICA? If you got an interview at one of these places do you know if they interview everyone that gets in? THE LIST: Yale- interview Parsons- waitlisted No Word: RISD Columbia SVA Pratt NYU MICA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradster123 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 HOW DOES IT ALL WORK? I'm sure every school is different. This is how it works based on my UG school. They pick their in's, and their waitlisted's (but don't tell you're waitlisted) and if they hear no's from their in's then they start contacting their waitlisted's. So from my UG school, if you haven't heard from them yet it means you're on the fence. Now, if you call them, they'll tell you straight up, you've been waitlisted.... Hopefully this helps How does it work at other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious12345 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Has anyone gotten an interview with UCLA? I have been hearing from the forum that some people have been rejected BUT what about anyone with an interview? I haven't heard anything. Also, I still haven't gotten any word from schools on the east coast: Columbia NYU (even though they just sent back my portfolio CD, which I take as a no) SVA HUNTER YALE (swift no back in Feb.) got into CCA and SFAI...I have no idea who to pick if I were to move to SF. anyone have any good concrete ideas on the differences between the programs? If I had to chose between SFAI and CCA for grad, I would def go for SFAI. I got my UG from there...fucking amazing place. Plus the CCA grad center is in a bad part of SF....I've gone to talks there...homeless tent city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious12345 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 A friend of mine who attended CCA in 2000-2002 and lived in SF for a little bit said that SFAI is in serious financial trouble right now because the head of the school got in trouble for money laundering or something. I dont know anything beyond that, I havent fact checked any of this because I didnt apply there Money laundering? no, more like mismanagement...The old president has been gone for years (suicide) and the new one is pretty OK. They are in the same boat everyone else is as far as finances go...I wouldn't not go there just because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny5000 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 this forum is great! it's good to see there are so many of you going through the same thing I am. here's my results so far for MFA painting Accepted: Parsons- Interviewed by phone 2/27, Accepted via email 3/9, got official letter on 3/11 Rejected: NYU- by mail 3/9 Waiting to hear: SVA- my top choice Pratt- Columbia- (not interviewed so most likely rejected) Hunter- (not interviewed so most likely rejected) Does anyone know how merit based scholarships work? would I have received that info with my acceptance packet or does that stuff come separately?

Please be advised that admissions decisions cannot be released over the phone." http://www.vcu.edu/a...ies/index.shtml Is their website just wrong? I think both are kind of true. The graduate program coordinator called to let me know unofficially that I'd been accepted. Then she sent me an unofficial email reiterating what she told me on the phone. Then, a couple weeks later, once the University bureaucracy caught up, I got the official acceptance letter in the mail. A few days later I got the official letter about my scholarship as well. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaced Out Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I too received a rejection letter from UCLA: UCLA: rej SVA: no word Pratt: no word Otis: accepted!
