kewpies Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 @helenforsdale thanks for the encouragement & you are totally right! i definitely need to focus on the positive. i think its just the weird math of rejection -- each one feels like a lot -- but i guess i just need to get a thick skin. and just thought i should say, i'm not really a recent grad, i finished school back in '05. i mean, i guess that could be recent... @sophialab just some statistics i know of: ucsd 262 applied, 21 accpeted (source, email from them) columbia 1100 applied/ 550 for painting/ 20-something accepted (source, gregory amenoff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethBrown Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Do you know how many people they waitlist at these schools. I am hoping to get waitlisted at Columbia - its my last hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone for providing such helpful information and congratulations on all of your acceptances! My list: Accepted: SVA Photography Video and Related Media - 3/13 ....

balrogtheband Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 for all the MICA people, this went out today from the director of Mt. Royal: Dear all, I've just been told we are going to try to accept 15 students and not 17 this year in order to try to make a more balanced set of numbers between the 1st and 2nd years. I am very happy about this--and if this works, we can use two of the studios again as our installation spaces and avoid the problems downstairs. So wish us luck. Offers will go out soon. Have a great spring break, Frances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethBrown Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 For those of you who got into SVA - how did you hear? email /phone or snail mail? Thanks. Also- for Mt. Royal....if we didn't get interviewed we are out, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is there anyone who is accepted by SVA, CalArts or MICA in MFA Graphic design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestem Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 MICA Graphic Design received 250 applications and admits 12. RISD GD received 350 applications in total and admits 7 into 2 yr program. Yale GD 3yr program received 120 applications and admits 6. I don't know about the situation for 2yr program at Yale but I assume it's not far from RISD's stats. BTW, CCA said in an e-mail that they received a record number of applications this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolando Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is there anyone who is accepted by SVA, CalArts or MICA in MFA Graphic design? Suzie, in terms of SVA and MICA I don't believe decisions have been released yet. This is what I know: SVA received +-450 applications, and interviewed around 40 people for 20 available spots, their decisions usually land around April 1st. MICA received +-250 applications, and interviewed around 20 people for 12 available spots. Their decision letters (including funding) mail out on the 19th of this month (tomorrow), then it's up to USPS and how far away you live. Also, SVA has a couple of spots open for 3-year programs and I'm sure MICA has something similar to that. Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolando Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Update for those of you waiting on Cranbrook 2D MFA: "Elliott Earls, Designer-in-Residence and Head of the 2D Design Department is planning to turn in his first round of selections over the next week. The Dean of Admissions will be drafting letters then to mail to candidates. Please continue to be patient for a few more weeks. Nothing has gone out so far for the 2D Department."

Sara2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi everyone, could you please tell me which program is better? MFA in painting in Boston University or Massart? Do you know any stats for these two universities?How many applications they got and how many positions they give? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlenova Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) MICA received +-250 applications, and interviewed around 20 people for 12 available spots. Their decision letters (including funding) mail out on the 19th of this month (tomorrow), then it's up to USPS and how far away you live All selections have been made at MICA already for all departments. They said they are calling candidates and Rolando is right...Letters will be mailed out on the 19th. I am waiting on aid now! They gave me a ballpark between 30-50% covered. I am happy with that! Let's hope for 50%! I have a question...I interviewed for MICA summer and was told there were 120 applications, they interviewed about 30 candidates and they chose 10. Better odds...I was accepted,but I don't know if my friend was. Do you think those 30 would be on a waiting list? Do all programs have waiting lists? She said her interview went bad...and I would LOVE her to get in, too. Edited March 18, 2010 by littlenova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlenova Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Last school reported for me today by email...VCU is a no-go. If you haven't heard from Photo by now, they did interviews already and made selections. Here's my final list in order of where I wanted to go: MICA-Accepted with funding VCU-Wait listed; most likely rejection for only 6 openings Maine College of Art-Accepted with full funding MassArt-Accepted with funding (surprised to be considered for another on-campus program, but can't swing it.) Art Institute of Boston- Accepted w/ matched funding, but made a mistake applying to this program. Not the place for me...did not research it enough. George Mason-Verbal acceptance, no aid awarded yet and MICA it is. Edited March 18, 2010 by littlenova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan K. Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I received a letter from SVA last week that i was rejected. Rejection from Hunter today via their website. Acceptance letter from Pratt in the mail today. i applied for photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalierachel Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I went ahead and emailed NYU, this is what they said: "Please be patient a bit longer -- we expecting the Tisch Admissions Office to begin notifying our applicants of the decisions this week. They should be going out by email shortly." I'm trying to be zen about the whole thing and weigh all the options carefully. MIT is of course my first pick, but there are a couple factors (the distance, the money - I haven't seen their funding offer yet) that are unfortunately making me hesitate... Just got an acceptance email from ITP! I'm in shock, on cloud 9, excited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwall Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi Ya'll I'm new here. I did not apply to extremely pretigious East coast schools, I went to undergrad at USC so I thought I would focus on the south for an MFA. In case anyone applied to these schools here are my stats: Univ. Florida- rejected Univ. Texas, Arlington- accepted LSU- Waitlisted Univ. Texas, San Antonio- No word Anyone have any info from UTA, LSU, or UTSA? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlenova Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Hey Rolando! Thanks...They called me Feb 21st for an interview. Then, last week they invited me to campus and verbally accepted me on my birthday ---March 11. I got to choose between full-time photo or the summer interdisciplinary program (I applied to both)...and I chose summer. They have some new faculty from Bard and Columbia that are working in film and sound, so I am STOKED. Everything happens for a reason. Right?

MICA is actually my first choice for Graphic Design so, hopefully I'll see you there. I interviewed a couple of weeks ago and now I'm waiting to hear back from them. So, Hopefully by mid-next week I'll be in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
