beane428 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Did anyone on here apply to UT Austin? I applied to the MFA Design program and was wondering if anyone has heard anything?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intelly Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 yep, I got a letter Tuesday-Rejected. The letter said they had 254 applicants, and they accepted 10 for the entire department, which roughly comes out to 2 per program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKSim Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 yep, I got a letter Tuesday-Rejected. The letter said they had 254 applicants, and they accepted 10 for the entire department, which roughly comes out to 2 per program. I got my rejection letter on Tuesday. When I visited the department in October, I learned that they accept 6 painters every year, and the 4 additional spots are divided among the other specializations. I applied to sculpture, and they accept 1 or 2 sculpture students a year depending on how many sculpture majors graduate; if 2 graduate, they accept 2 students, if 1 graduates, they accept 1. It alternates every year, and also (of course) depends on the advancement of the students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I applied last year to painting and was wait-listed, that letter was postmarked Feb. 17. Havent heard yet this year, hoping thats a good thing... RKSim's info is accurate as far as I know. Last year 272 apps, 10 accepted 6 painters remaining spots divided.

Tim Riggins Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hey team --- I haven't heard from UT (re: painting) as of today either. James, we actually met at one of the prospective student days in Austin. Good to see that you're in the fight. I live in Austin, so I'd be surprised if the notice delay is mail related. It sounds like they don't do interviews, but are selections still somehow made in rounds I wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKSim Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'll confirm that they don't do interviews. They used to, apparently, but told us that they did away with that part of the application process this year. Which visit did you guys go to? I was there on October 12th. Good luck!

Holding my breath... 6th St will do that to you. I definitely remember meeting you at the UT studios and conjecturing about how great it would be to go to UT. Not to overanalyze things, but I noticed a couple of hits on my website on Friday from a UT Austin hosted network. Maybe there's a second round of reviewing going on...
