littlenova Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I dunno guys...800 is a bit much. That's rivaling Yale... lol...MICA only had around 200-300 for each of their departments and they are top 5 in the country. ??? But, hey...I guess it could be a big year on the west coast with Cali's crappy economy. I read in some Princeton article that grad admission was up 300% since the recession began!

rweiss Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 To anyone who was waiting on MICA/Rhinehart (like myself), I found out that they are currently interviewing people, so I assume that I've missed the boat on that one too. Meltdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlenova Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 MICA interviewing is definitely weird. I wouldn't be too quick to lose hope,though. I am on my SECOND?? interview tomorrow in person and a friend of mine was admitted last year very late in the game from the waiting list...so... Keep hope alive.

caraa Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, I'm so glad I found this forum! I haven't read the whole forum yet, just the last few days, but I applied to Columbia (painting) and they sent an email on Jan 12 that finished with: "Please note that most admissions decisions will not be made until late April of 2009." That's seems so late...Sucks we have to wait that long. My results thusfar: Accepted to U Wisconsin-Madison Rejected from Tyler Had an interview for MICA Hoffberger, still waiting on the response Still waiting on: Columbia Hunter VCU UCLA RISD (which states on the website that decisions will by mailed "on or before March 24" USC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, hey...I guess it could be a big year on the west coast with Cali's crappy economy. I read in some Princeton article that grad admission was up 300% since the recession began! it might not be 800, but i bet it's close. ( i have friends who graduated from/are current mfa students/prospective students (aka. have interviewed) so my sources are pretty reliable). also, i wouldn't rely on "ranking" to determine the amount of applications a school would receive. i'm not sure, but i'd bet usc's ranking isn't super high, but have produced pretty "hot" grads in recent years, which probably means more? sorry, i just think the "rankings" are irrelevant.

I would agree. Rankings are voted on by top faculty/admins at each school. The rankings only give you an idea of how the collective art academia view each school, but if you are looking to teach after your MFA, the rank of the school will give you some idea of how everyone else will view your credentials. Not to say there aren't a million other things that go into choosing faculty, but having a RISD, Yale, or SIAC instead of a school ranked 134th will look much more impressive.

Curious12345 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 interviews are pretty much done at usc. rumor has it that they received around 800 applications this year (for 8 spots?) and i think around 400 last year...wow! Very disheartening to hear, I guess this is just the recession fucking people in ways I didn't even know were possible...I mean it makes sense...but why do I feel like that a lot of people are not returning to school because they actually need it more than they just need to defer student loans or to pass time while unemployed... With that said, I wonder when USC is going to send out their rejection letters? and when is UCLA going to do anything at all? do they even interview?

Bloomington I'm assuming it's a no-go for Columbia and Hunter at this point. It sounds like people aren't agreeing on whether SVA requires an interview for entrance...
