Doelorus Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Hello, thank you for sharing all the wonderful info. I'm just beginning to research schools for an MFA in sculpture, incorporating ceramics and welding. I'm beginning to lean toward a low res program. My first step is really figuring out the vision/vibe/focus of different programs. Generally schools have a focus of some sort, say mostly abstract or conceptual, some lean towards interactive or new media. My work is representational and focuses on gender issues, so obviously working with a conceptual or minimalist faculty would not be a good fit. Does anyone have any recommendations based on their experience/visits to schools? It's been exhausting trying to figure this out through websites. I especially appreciated one post that described the interview at Yale. It was eye opening. Edited March 21, 2018 by Doelorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred University: accepted tuition and small stipend Florida State: accepted tuition and small stipend UDel: accepted tuition and nice stipend Notre Dame: Interviewed to be determined One thing my friends have told me is to consider the network/reputation of the school, as in the doors it will open. One of my friends now wishes she had gone for a bigger name for the support after graduation even if it meant more debt. She feels like she would have gotten a teaching job sooner.

Most of the people I know who applied have already gotten their acceptance or official rejection by now. I know one person who got accepted into new genres already though.

ackno Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I got my CalArts Film/Video financial info yesterday. 20k/yr scholarship! Did anyone get any work study info? SAIC and SVA have offered potential work-study and I'm wondering if I didn't qualify for such at CalArts, or if info regarding that might come later, or if I'll just have to find a separate on-campus/other job ( which I'll have to do anyway ) . Want to email the the FinAid office but thought I'd ask here first as I'm not trying to seem too "well THESE schools did THAT" confrontational. Might wait a couple days for a physical packet if that's a thing with CalArts and see if that has info. Edited March 21, 2018 by ackno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you at the interview on the 24th? So far I’ve been accepted to: Tufts Museum School in Boston, SVA and Pratt (with a nice merit scholarship). I’m still waiting to hear back from Columbia, UC San Diego and CU Boulder. As of now, my gut is telling me Pratt, so I’ll be letting a few of the other schools know that I would like to decline soon. This journey has been stressful, but we are excited about leaving Texas and heading to Brooklyn as of now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that that may be the case with the waitlist but we don’t know for sure. I interviewed on feb 26th. Also, last year I was notified of my place on the waitlist on Monday March 27, which would correspond to this upcoming Monday. All that said I know some ppl last year had heard about waitlist like ten days before I heard so take that for whatever it’s worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calgone22 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Since I was only accepted to MICA, I'll def be going there, but am trying to decide between two programs - Mount Royal (multidisciplinary) and Photo and Electronic Media. Supposedly Mount Royal currently has a better reputation, but I got more money from PEM (50%, which is their biggest scholarship). I got 30% from Mount Royal. I've been talking to EVERYONE I can and thought maybe I'd post to this here trusty forum to see if anyone has any thoughts? Also, did anyone on this forum get accepted to UCLA New Genres? I don't recall seeing any acceptances. If someone was, I would love to look at their website! Thank you!!!
