@Alife hunter is being so strange! They sent out rejections/waitlist first and now it sounds like they sent some acceptances but I haven’t heard anything after my interview! Wonder if I should email them.

Shouldn’t be weird to email them considering they kept saying we’d know by Friday!

Wanted to say that I got an acceptance to hunter (painting)  fall 2018 via email on Thursday around noon. I’m assuming they haven’t sent them all out since I haven’t heard news from anyone else. 

Congratulations! Hoping the rest of us hear something soon!!

They probably only sent out a few? Maybe they are on spring break! If you haven’t heard yet I’m sure it’s probably good news

Haha I'm in a similar situation except I am waitlisted at UT Austin. Just out of curiosity, what residencies are you looking for in Japan? I am based in Korea so just interested. 

Good luck to you!!! I would also love to visit Korea... but it is super easy to get a year long working holiday visa for Japan in Australia. I have mainly done month-long residencies, this time I'd like to do something a bit longer. The ones I'm looking at are the Kamiyama AIR, the Aichi University of the Arts AIR, Youkubo Artspace, and PARADISE.

Hey, I was accepted to that program, but I have a couple of other choices as well - BU, Mica and Pafa. Do you have any information about Alfred's new program? It's hard to come by, being its first year and all. Thanks!

They are building brand new studios for the grad students. The work I saw from the BFA program was fantastic.  Because you are traveling between Germany and the US you will be limited to what additional courses you can take. Alfred is a cute little town. Perfect to devote all your time to your work. You will need transportation. The program director is a very nice person and all the staff is very professional and friendly. The campus has a close-knit feel to it. Düsseldorf is a wonderful city and you will be close to other major Cities. MICA and PAFA are expensive. Not sure if money is an issue for you. Alfred/Düsseldorf is a great deal. Yes, it is a new program and untested, but with the great reputation Alfred has and the commitment of the staff you are in good hands. Having an MFA from Alfred/Düsseldorf will certainly set you apart from other MFA grads. Building all those international connections can only benefit you professionally. Best of luck.

Has anyone heard from University of Maryland college park? 

Have you received any word from UMD yet? Anxious. Have yet to receive a rejection though. My application still says under departmental view.

I can't believe tyler did not even say they rejected me... it's ridiculous I never heard anything back ever ...  thanks tyler

[hdart]

@sunflowerpower

No, but I did email them and they said the graduate director and committee have met and decisions should be mailed out in a week or so. I got the response on the 14th.  So hopefully they'll be mailed out this week.

Got acceptance phone call today from RISD for Painting, now awaiting financial aid info.
Help! Should I go to SAIC or RISD for painting??  Is one really better than the other, and if so how??  Any advice would be so so helpful, thank you!!

[leafyinhaling]

Got into tyler with full tuition remission and stipend for two years, also got into goldsmiths with nothing. Really don't know what to do now...

I am an international student for both country, so its kinda a decision that where I want to study and where I want to work after graduation...I would really like the idea of studying London and being close to Europe but I kind of have a feeling that the young people's art scene in London is not as vibrant as in major cities in US? Or maybe I'm just ignorant. If I choose the school in the states, it probably would be easier to move to any city I like after graduation, like LA or NY...

I feel quite lost now and wish there's anyone has any insights.

Tyler is one of the top schools here! I didn’t even get interviewed! And if you get to go there for free you should go!! It seems to be really prestigious and they do study abroad I think

Same...do people actually get accepted off of the waitlist...or is this just a delayed drawn out rejection?!?!?
