A post bacc is a cool opportunity, it can give more time to think about and make more work. Personally I’d jump on a good MFA program, especially if you get a stipend! goodluck and congrats!

Expand Hey I have an interview from Art & Tech, they didn't say to explicitly say to prep for the interview but from the emails it is suggested it is a critical component; so prep is definitively expected. They don't require you to bring artwork because possibly they have all of it in SlideRoom, but where did you get the impression should don't need to prepare for the interview? That confuses me – unless they are already set on giving you an offer. If that, congrats!

leafyinhaling Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Hi all, does anyone know anything about the fine art program of Parsons? Is it good? I don't see lots of people applying to the program...

Rita Benissan Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Good Morning, I just wanted to join in this forums to see if any of you have heard back from U of M, Wisconsin-Madison, Pratt, Cornell, Columbia, Notre Dame for their painting and screen printing program. Good Luck with your applications!
calgone22 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Hi all, Longtime listener, first time caller. First time applying to MFA programs. Thus far: Slade - rejected CMU - interviewed 2/3. Totally bombed. Would be surprised if I’m selected. MICA Mt. Royal - interviewing 2/21 MICA Photo and Electronic - waiting to hear UCLA New Genres - waiting to hear WHERE. THE. EFF. is UCLA?

Edlington III Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Hi all, I applied to: UO - Fibers/ Sculpture : Still waiting... Kent State - Textiles : Accepted, waiting to schedule an interview for GA appointment SAIC - Fiber & Material Studies : Skype Interview 2/17 CCA - Fibers/ Sculpture : Still waiting... I emailed UO yesterday and was told they are still reviewing and interviewing so that's still in play theoretically. Also, was told by a friend who works at CCA that they will be reviewing mid Feb, so hopefully we hear back this week or next? Anyone have advice for how to make the most of a short Skype interview? SAIC said to pick my best two pieces to discuss in depth, which is helpful, but any advice would be appreciated! Good luck everyone!

This was the response I received: "Your interview will be a short conversation (about 15-20 minutes) with three faculty members from the School of Art, but I will not be able to tell you who those people will be until the day of the interview.

charoarte Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 do you guys know if hunter interviews or directly accepts people?

Expand It was a simple phone interview with one professor and the basic questions ("Why are you interested in Syracuse", "What are your goals after undergrad?"). I think I spent more time asking questions about the program than he spent asking me questions, haha. Pretty informal, really. Maybe just a sculpture thing.
Kvir Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I just had my Skype interview with Alfred and it was the most nerve racking thing ever. I am legit shaking and I just hope I didn't come across as nervous as I actually was. Aaaannnnnnnnnd now I have to wait another 2 weeks. But on another note, I got an acceptance email from University at Buffalo this morning! No word on funding yet, though! icw 1
