okay, I called Columbia and they said, just because you haven't been asked for an interview doesn't mean you're rejected. They said they don't interview everyone they want.

Just got a call for an interview with hunter for a 9am slot on march 20, applied for painting.

I just got a call from Hunter too for an interview at 11am the same day, March 20th (applied for painting). I was told there were 800 applicants, 110 interviews, for around 55 spots.

Just curious, how did you find out you were rejected from UNM? They're also one of my top choices, but I haven't heard anything from them...I'm assuming I got rejected :(

Last week, snail mail. I got the slimiest 3 sentence rejection letter on the thinnest paper known to man =( What class.

Reminds me of a similar rejection I got.

They rejected me via email to the wrong program. A few minutes later I got another email apologizing (saying their TA sent rejections to the wrong people), with two obvious typos and a rejection to the correct program. :lol:

Sadly, this simply isn't true - the person you spoke with may have been speaking about the other departments in the school of art. Unfortunately for us - those applying for a visual arts MFA - they most certainly do interview everyone. There are only 25 people admitted per year - they curate the selection of students, and interviews are an important part of that process. I've known tons of kids who have gone there and sat on panels. They definitely interview everybody they're interested in.

The only slim light we have - painting usually makes their calls earliest, new genres makes their decisions last.

Blah, it sucks, I know.

But I specifically asked about MFA Visual Arts. Hmm..I don't know what to think anymore.

I noticed the same thing when I logged on today! So it's true, right?

I think I got admitted to CCA! It says "congratulations - admitted" as of 2/26 when I logged into the webadvisor thing, but I haven't received a letter yet. I am hoping this is true! I've been rejected from UCSD, Berkeley, CalArts so far. I had a very good interview with SFAI last week. Still waiting to hear from RISD, UCLA, CMU, Cranbrook, UCSC, San Jose State.

I hope it is, and that they are just disorganized with their letters!! I know in their email they said we should log into webadvisor to check admission status. I emailed them today to double check, but haven't heard back.

search your inbox for "CCA application received" or "CCA webadvisor". That email has a login and password to get into webadvisor, and you can see your admission status there.
