No need to invest in an expensive application fee if I'm going to get possibly stuck with a tuition bill that I can't afford in the first place. Congratulation Peach Gray and best of luck.

ayags Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi! I have just applied to a few programs and I'm just looking for some advice to see if I have a shot I guess. Also looking for any schools in Europe besides University College London that have what I'm looking for. A little background on me, I got my Bachelor of Science Interior Design at Drexel University in Philly with a minor in Art History. I graduated with a 3.3 GPA and a pretty solid portfolio (my strong suit is definitely my renderings). For the past 2 years I have been teaching at the Community College of Philadelphia as an adjunct professor teaching AutoCAD and Intro to Architecture, Design and Construction. I kind of fell into teaching but absolutely love it and love the flexibility and freedom it gives me to be creative in my spare time. Obviously with this, I need to get my masters to continue teaching at the collegiate level. My goal is to go into Exhibit and Installation design so I have applied to a variety of different programs involving this field. Mostly, I want to get more digital design knowledge (I currently am fluent in CAD, Revit, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, Laser Cutting and a little sketchup) but I want to learn more about 3D printing, CNC Routing which entails Rhino and 3DS Max. Mostly, I am curious if I have a shot at some of these reach schools of mine. But also if anyone has any insight into some more European Schools that have what I'm looking for it would be greatly appreciated. 1. UCLA 2. California College of the Arts 3. Portland State University 4. Pratt Institute 5. WashU 6. UCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFAAFM Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Do schools frown at Skype interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.PoopyButtHole Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @MFAAFM My professors have always insisted on going to schools in person, but I know from personal experience that this is not always possible due to finances, work compnflicts, etc. From what I have gathered, the faculty really want to get to know who you are. I mean there are also so many variables, but the first is being 1 of the 100+ applicants called in for an interview, acing your interview by wowing the faculty with your knowledge and personality, and overall making a case for why you would be the best candidate. To be honest though it seems to come down to whether the faculty want to work with you over a period of two years or not. I know in my case I am a horrible Skype interviewer, so this year I want to meet everyone in person that I can. I also know that from many of the open house and Q&A’s some people who do the interview through Skype are accepted, but without looking at any hard numbers I will go out on a limb and say that there are more people accepted from in-person interviews vs. Skype. The schools seems to be open to it, and I know from the Yale open house some are accepted through it, but I am a little skeptical. I know I would want to meet someone I would potentially be working with for the next two years in person, but if you feel like you can kill the interview online as well as in person go for it. I am just too paranoid that doing it online actually hurts my chances, so I am going to opt for in person if possible. Sylvieee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFAAFM Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Interview notifications just around the corner...wondering exactly what an interview means? (That you successfully completed your application -or- that they see something in you application that they are interested in) What percent of students are typically interviewed? What percent are not interviewed? Edited January 22, 2018 by MFAAFM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let_me_in Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 So it begins! Just got called for an interview at SAIC - Performance Art MFA Interview Feb 17th. 25 mins, with 2 faculty and possibly 1 current grad student. I asked if there were specific topics I should be preparing for the interview, and they said to just be familiar with my application and be ready to talk about the pieces and statements I submitted, what I'm currently working on, etc. OldMFA, Sylvieee and Rennnnn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rest of your questions depend on the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does this mean SAIC has released their interviews or are they done over a couple days? Do they tend to do all the concentrations on the same day?

Capybara Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Anyone apply to illustration MFA here? I applied 5 places with one in communications design because I'm afraid I won't get in but the school of my dream is SVA. I wonder when will the results arrive. Only SVA states that I will receive the result by snail mail within 1 april. Others don't say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
