I have yet to hear anything from RISD or UIC for graphic design Yeah interviewed, but take this info with a grain of salt – it varies heavily across departments. I heard somebody was only interviewing for RISD fashion/fibers/textiles next week. So its entirely possible GD haven't sent anything out yet! Also either I'm tripping or I swear this morning there were someone listed as admissions counselor for UCLA. This afternoon I check and it displays as "VACANT". Possibly related why we have heard nothing??

midtown_magic Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Hey, lurker here. Is it accurate that no one has been contacted by RISD for Photo MFA interviews yet? I met someone at the SAIC reception who claimed they got an interview with RISD, but they said the same about UCLA and at that point I was pretty dubious about everything they had to say.

peachgray Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Hey, do when know when we will hear about results from SAIC Painting?

Christina7szy Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Hi all, Does anyone know if it's useful to update the schools with my updated portfolio(new stuff after the application)? Will they even look at it? Photogeographic 1
k8artist Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Also I have been practicing for my interview and came across these lists of questions on last years interview thread. Anyone else experience any other good questions or have any advice??? How does your work fit in with the contemporary art world/scene? Why do you want to go to XXXXX? Why do you want to go to grad school? Why now? What resources of this program will be the biggest benefit to your development as an artist? What is your work about? What are your influences? What for you constitutes a good work of art? What draws you to a piece of work? What motivates your work? Who are your main influences? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? How does your work fit in with the contemporary art world/scene? What do you think is a good critique of your work/bad critique? Why/how did you choose the people who wrote letters for you? How will you contribute to this program? What do you do for fun? What artists do you like? (you can have a list prepared) What artists who are no longer living influence you? What book are you reading right now? What do you think about it? What are you working on right now? Please explain this work (xxxx03.jpg) What is your favorite piece of art? Why? (Title, artist,year) Can you describe yourself, such as personal habit, etc. Do you get along well with others ? What would you bring to a group dynamic ? What can you offer this program? Any special skills? What do you think is a good way of criting ? a bad way? What other aspects of culture influence your work besidesart/art history? How do you see yourself taking advantage of this school’s enviroment/program? What exhibition have you been to in the last year? What have you done since you’ve graduated? What contemporary artists are you into, and why? Tell us about the conceptual underpinnings of your work? Talk about your process. What do you think about *this essay*? (related to your work) How is your work related to *this movement*? Do you have any questions for us? What do you think about (artist, movement, subject/topic) What can't you stand? Why? What do you think about your own work? How do you want your work to develop? Why are you making the work you're making, and why do you want to keep doing it? Meaning behind your subject matter? influences so you've written a good amount about your practice in your statement...can you expand a little more what was the last show you saw that had a profound effect on you? Ideas for Questions to Ask During Your Interview what's the degree of permeability between the department's different studio areas? what do the teaching assistantship duties generally consist of? Will I be assisting a professor, or will I be teaching my own class? Have recent alumni stayed in the area or ventured elsewhere? What is the grad student to faculty ratio? Ask for more information about particular courses in the curriculum. Other Tips Be able to speak about the professors work and why you are influenced by it. Write a follow up Thank you email within 48 hours after your interview. TheBarnOwl and zelle 1 1

I got the interview invitations for Calarts 2-year and RISD 3-year. I wonder if RISD GD sends out interviews for 2 and 3 years separately tho, since I haven't heard anyone (at least on this site) getting the interview for the 2-year program.

May I ask when you received interview request from RISD?
Mezray Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Anybody have thoughts about the University of Houstons MFA Arts program? I have been accepted with funding. I absolutely love their ideology and statements of purpose. Houston is a great city, and I could see myself really enjoying the atmosphere. Noticed that there haven't been any posts about it.
