For UCLA folks, considering there was that other person who was accepted into sculpture over phone...

 

Is it a fair assumption that people whobhave not be contacted from Sculpture are as good as rejected? 

 

If other people have heard in that department,  usually yes that is the case. At least the last 3 years

So..a few people have commented about USC Roski interviews. Has anyone actually been accepted? I guess I assume no interview=no dice?

I had my interview yesterday and they are still doing interviews today 

[thirdtimesthecharm]

Hey Boston U peeps! Heard anything today? 

[nfagunde]

I had my interview at NYU today. They're conducting interviews next week as well.

Anyone hear anything from NYU?? Specifically photo? I'm just waiting to hear from NYU and Columbia now but I'm getting nervous that there hasn't been anything yet :/

 

[nfagunde]

Spoke to UCLA and was told that they don't hold formal interviews and that each department contacts differently. So for the people (like myself) freaking out because people have gotten acceptances for ceramics or sculpture, if you applied for a different department there is still some hope.

Damn, what if I missed the call? Haha, is interview mandatory for these schools? I guess I've been rejected. The only interviews I had are Yale and Parsons.

I am pretty sure they would have left a voicemail. Both schools use the interviews to then make a final decision as to who will be accepted. I believe RISD will only take 10 people into the painting program from the pool of applicants they are interviewing and Columbia picks 8ish painters from their pool. Those are still really good schools to hear back from!

How was the interview? Would you mind sharing your experience with us?

[Creech]

Just received email notice from SAIC FVNMA following an email I sent to a grad coordinator yesterday. The faculty member notifying me of my admission was one of the two who interviewed me, and she responded to my follow up email. 

I then received a phone call from Sculpture at SAIC confirming my admission offer that I received in the mail yesterday. 

So as long as I can sort out money I’m off to SAIC - gonna probably take the film offer - but wanted to update folks on notifications for those departments.

nope. i think they sent out letters via snail mail yesterday, so i'll probably hear tomorrow one way or the other.

 

i did just receive an email from Pratt for an interview, just so everyone knows (MFA Painting).

 

so all the schools i've applied to i've heard from at this point, for everyone's information:

RISD- Interview Request

Boston U- Interviewed

Pratt- Interview Request

 

i'll try to leave a post about my experience interviewing at these places for applicants to look at next year. if anyone has interviewed at Pratt or RISD, i would appreciate hearing about your experience, just so i know what to prepare for specifically.

Thank you very much, I got an interview request from Pratt. Hope something from NYU now.

Nothing yet. I sent the department an email today asking when I should expect to hear back, but I haven't received a response. I didn't think about the possibility of them sending physical letters. Hmm.. I'll keep an eye on my mailbox (digital and physical)!

I had a wonderful experience. They had two faculty members and an alum from the program there to interview me. My interview felt very relaxed. They asked me questions about some of my work, and why grad school now (I am a year out of undergrad so expected this question). Was lucky enough to meet almost all of the 1st year grad students and chat with them as well before and after my interview.

my girlfriend interviewed and was accepted last year and they sent the results via mail, so i'm just assuming it'll be the same this year.

I went to nyu as an undergrad and at the time undergrands and grads had a lot of overlap. Also my bf did his mfa at NYU so if anyone has any questions about the program/facilities let me know!

Hello! Congratulations on your FVNMA offer! So happy for you! You emailed the graduate coordinator to notify them you received the offer via mail form sculpture department, so they called you today, right? So there will be no phone call from the department unless you emailed them as what has been indicated in the offer? (If I interpretate correctly)

thank youf to sharing this news! glad that you got the offer of the program that you want to get in! I am still waiting for the result letters since it takes 7 days to arrive in California via standard mail.

Did your girlfriend get good funding or a scholarship for BU? I know the cost of living is really high. ? not sure I could attend without some help. 

[Makerak]

Anybody apply or hear back from SAIC Art & Technology?

[desertdog]

Anyone get accepted or rejected from SVA or SUNY purchase

Didn’t someone mention Columbia scheduled interviews with people feb 4th? If that’s the case then if we haven’t gotten a request for interviews by now then no dice- right?

[quackophony]

Hey everyone, long time lurker checking in.

Here's the list of places I've applied (MFA Design/MID) to and their current status:

 

SVA: Interviewed

RISD: Nothing yet (most probably a reject judging from the interviews others have already given)

Pratt: Nothing yet

CCA: Nothing yet

 

The nerves are definitely kicking in at this point. Anyone got word from any of the above places? Checking my inbox every 5 minutes isn't helping.

Edit: Typos galore

she got about a half-ride, but it wasn't really enough to justify the living expenses. 

 

we're sort of in the same boat again. i know i'm going to have to take out more loans for either tuition or living expenses, but i can't really do both. guess we'll see what happens.

[Shinobi_Legend]

Has anyone heard from Georgia State or Tulane MFA drawing programs? Also, is there is anyone else from the Rutgers interviews from yesterday how do your feel it went? 

[LHM]

Received confirmation email that I was accepted to CCA MFA.
