2010 MFA Visual Arts admission replies and results

[Rolando]

Hey guys, has anybody heard from MICA Mount Royal? Does MICA interview everybody they are interested in?

I was called for an interview last week. But don't worry! I think some people get in without being interviewed.

They also said they mail the letters March 16 (or 19) and you should know for sure by April 1st.

Hope that helps!

I got a rejection letter from Cranbrook painting a couple days ago in the mail.

I got a rejection letter from Cranbrook painting a couple days ago in the mail.

Sorry to hear that.

[sophiab]

Sorry to hear that.

I actually don't feel too bad about it. I feel like I'm going to get in where I'm supposed to be and my work will fit in well. I think Cranbrook does interviews on campus though. I am not sure if they have contacted people in painting for interviews yet.

My list so far:

Accepted: CCA

Interviews: SFAI, UCSC

Waiting to hear from: San Jose State, UCLA, RISD

Rejected: Berkeley, UCSD, CMU, CalArts

Thanks, ya'll!

I know nobody has probably applied to any of these schools, but they're my last three so I just thought I'd check.

Anyone applying to or heard anything from:

PNCA

Kendall College of Art (Ferris State University)

Northern Illinois University (I actually work at this school in a non-art related department, so I'm just wondering if anyone is applying)

I feel like I'm the only person on this forum that has applied to schools outside the top 10....

So no one has heard from Ohio State University's painting program?

[hans]

Rejected:

U of Michigan

Carnegie Mellon

RIT

Accepted:

UNC-Chapel Hill

Still Waiting on:

Tyler

Indiana University-Bloomington

Have anyone else heard from any of the last four schools? The wait is terrible and this is one time that Spring Break could not finish soon enough!!!

Hi, Monkey_tacos, I'm sorry to hear about your email from UCLA. Did you apply to their MFA fine arts? just wanted to make sure we are talking about the same program. Best of luck to you!

I just got an acceptance letter in the mail for SFAI's MFA program in painting.

Congrats!!

Kinda random: Kathryn Bigelow (director of the Hurt Locker) got her degree in painting from SFAI.

[y-art]

Congrats sofiab! which did you like better, sfai or cca?

[sophiab]

Thank you, both of you! I am going to go visit both CCA and SFAI and ask a million questions and explore the area. I don't live far from San Francisco, so I'm going to do that in the next week or so. I actually really love the artists that graduate from both schools. I loved the guy who interviewed me at SFAI...it was such a great, inspiring conversation, and I felt like he really understood what I am trying to accomplish with my work. I think I might like the CCA campus better, and it is easier to get to from the highway. It is very possible that I might be commuting from outside of SF. SFAI says I'm supposed to decide if I want to go there in 3 weeks...I hope I hear back from everywhere by then and know what I am doing! If anyone has any advice for me, I'd appreciate it!

This brings me to:

Accepted: CCA, SFAI

Interview: UCSC

Waiting to hear from: UCLA, RISD, San Jose State

Rejected: Berkeley, UCSD, Cranbrook, Calarts

I am really happy!

Also Toba Khedori... And didn't Richard Diebenkorn teach there for a while? Congratulations on getting accepted.

Stanford is supposed to send out letters on the 15th..... So I'm hoping hear something soon...anyone else apply?

[stofo]

intelly: I have not heard anything from NIU. Could we check on the "myniu" website? Most of the schools I applied to were not top ranked.

[fatima]

Has anyone heard from PNCA or UCLA yet? If so, was it via email, regular mail or telephone? I am so anxious to hear from these two!

Also, for those still waiting on Tyler, I just realized that you can check your status there through the online part of the application. Good to know!

Congrats, Sophia! Curious who interviewed you?

I think so..that's why every year, there's a visiting artist awarded the Diebenkorn fellowship to teach for one year. Also, you guys probably already know, Ansel Adams founded the photography department in SFAI.

[Upper Deck 01]

has anyone heard any thing from CCA since they were admitted through the web advisor. I emailed them and they said packets were being sent out this week, but besides that I haven't heard a thing since I was interviewed. Also, my interview was later in the month then other people on the forum so I'm wondering what that is about.

[sophiab]

Congrats, Sophia! Curious who interviewed you?

Jeremy Morgan...I loved him!
