I was told I was one of the three candidates, and 3 more would be notified the next week. the first three to respond would be given spots. I declined because I didn't want to hold a spot while waiting to hear from other programs.

GBcreatz Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Anyone else get a "personalized" but very generic sounding email from the head of VCU's MFA Sculpture? Stating that if you roll your application over to the 8 week Summer Program that they can prepare you to get accepted into top schools such as SAIC, RISD, VCU, Columbia? Seems like a money grab, IMO, especially since I was already accepted into some of the other top schools they mentioned.....Anyone else get this email?

zelle Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm writing interview thank-you notes and am wishing so badly that I'd recorded or taken better notes during the interview - with a panel interview it's SO hard to remember which comments or suggestions are from whom. I was so busy thinking about the comments/questions! And you really don't want to say "hey, I really appreciated X!" when they weren't the one who brought it up. But I've read that group thank-you's are discouraged as lazy or less serious. HMMMMMM. What have you guys done about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes more time but it makes a much better gesture Is there a way to not make it sound like you are rejecting them but still deciding? Every time I draft thank you letters for interviews it sounds like I'm thanking them and refusing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "looking forward to the results" + invite them to contact you if they have any further questions as a means of indicating continued interest. Remember all you need to do is the following 1. Thank them specifically 2. Indicate how happy u were talking to them, meeting the program, faculty etc 3. Indicate your continued, increasing interest with contact info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
