yeah, it helps.. I'm just at the point where I cannot believe that so many people have heard back and I haven't you know.... it's okay I guess it keeps the suspense going and I'm not yet out of the game.  I have applied for rutgers, temple, pafa, hunter, Udel, LSU, UF ... 

I also haven't heard anything from Hunter (painting MFA) yet. I did get the pro forma "check your status" rejection from Yale though, so I know my inbox is capable of receiving it, ha. Let me know if you hear anything! I was under the impression, based on previous years, that Hunter's interview invites go out the 15th, so that was the date looming in my head until now.

When does everyone typically fill out the FAFSA? Do some schools request you do it before you get accepted? 

I just filled out my FASFA yesterday, all you need is your 2016 tax info so there really isn't any reason to wait! It took me like 10 minutes, super easy I guess it might take a little longer if you haven't filed before but I'd say the sooner the better!

Hello, everyone! First time posting!

Does anyone heard from  

Parsons, Design and Technology / SVA, Interaction Design /  RISD, Graphic Design ??

After submitting my portfolio, I have printed description for preparing the interview, and I found lots of typoes, so I feel I'm already screwed...?

I couldn't found them checking before submitting. I know...it's my fault...

Anyway, anyone hears from yet?

Hope everyone gets the great result!

For folks attending the Interview Day at Rutgers, do you have any insight re: their interview process?

I'm assuming it's not a group interview, so will they get back to us with exact interview times at a later date?

anyone heard from MICA Hoffberger yet?

Let's trade details here. I received an interview request for photo at SAIC on February 2nd. When did you receive an interview from SVA? And what program did you apply to at SVA? I think I must have gotten rejected from SVA...

SVA Social documentary film, got the mail three days ago and will have the interview next Monday. Which program did you apply at SAIC? Studio photography?

Looks like last year's interview notices for photo were sent out around March 2nd. I'm waiting for Photography, Video and Related Media.

Nothing from U Michigan, Stanford or Cornell?? hmmm... sounds like a bad news...

Maybe those programs aren't starting interview yet.

Thank you for the reply!

Anyone feeling nauseous about the exorbitant tuition costs at some of these schools? Does anyone plan on working outside of the school during their two/three years? Do you feel that you'll be able to pay off 50-100k of debt in your lifetime?

Not a Troemel superfan, but definitely worth a read as well:

GA and TA all the way

Hey guys just finished my Parsons interview and I'm not entirely sure if i convinced them. They seemed quite serious and I don't really know if I got in. Are the impressions of the interviews really reliable or they have nothing to do with the final result? Maybe I'm just being paranoid

So I guess that if you got the interview and I still didn't hear back it's not a good sign right?

got an interview to MICA (Hoffberger) after a full week and a half of rejections. hang in there everyone!

Hey all! 

I’ve applied to MFA Ceramic programs at 

University of Oregon, Boulder Colorado, Reno Nevada, Minnesota (twin cities), and Edinboro Uni

Anyone here back from any of these? I’ve got no emails, calls, and online they all say awaiting department decision or under review. 

I’m not freakin out, but I’m freaking out!

Congrats to those that have interviews or have been accepted so far! 

I also applied to Edinboro, but for sculpture. Nothing yet! 

Good luck!
