Pretty sure I'm going to go to GMU, even though it's a smaller program. I liked the diversity of the faculty and really clicked with the painting professor, felt a good connection and liked what she thought about my work. Plus facilities are amazing, and logistically it's closest. Not sure on funding yet, but at any rate it'll be the cheapest of any I've been accepted to plus GTAs and GPAs are available. So updated: GMU: Accepted American: Accepted MICA MFAST: Accepted with 28k scholarship (7k/year = 1/3 tuition covered per year) GWU: Rejected, boo VCU: Still haven't heard... AYYY Congrats on getting into GMU. Super excited to hear that you got in there and representing my alma mater. I'm pretty sure I'll run into you there since I'm still kinda connected to the school. andreabengeart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Little Tree Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 For people still waiting on Delaware: They've said they're running behind this year, but are trying to finalize and email decisions before the MFA thesis show (in Berlin) next week. Likewise, LSU will be finalizing decisions this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_photo Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 On 3/24/2018 at 11:19 AM, wendi said: So, uh, idk what anyone else is talking about but Columbia College is well known for their Photography program in particular. Dawoud Bey is the head of their department right now, IIRC? Also, personally, I think choosing CC looks a little more "with it" on a resume; like everybody knows RISD is good, but Columbia College looks special. Going to a lesser-known yet known-for-being-fantastic program vs. one everybody applies to by default? I'm not sure if I'm making sense, and maybe this doesn't matter to anybody else. As a photographer I'd have no reservations choosing Columbia College here, personally. I think, however, RISD leans toward a very technological direction and has been doing this techie/green/science slant lately so if that's what you do then you're going to get a lot of great support to do that. Fellow photographer here- I would 100% choose Columbia. They have a fantastic photo program and IT"S FREE!! Who can say no to that!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for next year. Thanks! UAlbany- it is a state school in NY with a small interdisciplinary program. They offer 40% tuition discount and a stipend that covers the rest of tuition with a little left over. It isn't a well known art school but if you want a Masters degree for free you can get it here.

I also had an interview this year and didn't get in, first time I applied. I've been applying and been getting accepted into other MFA programs, but I've been thinking whether to just keep working on my own in my studio for one more year, and reapply next year again. Are you thinking that too? Edited March 26, 2018 by ni33th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you thinking that too? Yes, likely so! I have also been waitlisted at SAIC and RISD and both notified me I was pretty high on the lists. However, reapplication is only 9 months away, and Yale has better funding anyways. When its time its time I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213214325 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have accepted a position at Bard for the painting discipline. This means a spot will open up at Tyler. I hope someone receives good news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got into CalArts with 12k grant, but it's still very expensive for me to go there... What is the funding from Yale usually like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailcowboy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 There are no full rides at Yale, but one can receive near full funding if they are not receiving financial help from their parents. Good work study, need-based and no merit based scholarships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cottonbuds100pcs Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 hey just to give heads up for yale's financial aid. yes they all received need-based funding. some of my friends received 100% tuition waiver + work study + unit loan. i think the average debt after graduation is probably around 20k - 40k (probably because of loan for living cost), which i think is completely reasonable ni33th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure either school would be a great experience, so if RISD ends up being more affordable, sounds like you should go for it! Let us know what happens!
