Well, I got a rejection letter today from SAIC photo which is a real bummer, :/

Have a skype interview with MICA tomorrow.

Heard nothing from SVA, MassArt, CalArts or VCU. Getting a little nervous cause VCU is my number one.

Received an acceptance (SAIC Sculpture program) package via USPS mail today! If it puts anyone at ease after reading the forum--I never received a phone call or email of any kind beforehand. 

Still waiting on final answers from Columbia & RISD (both for sculpture). Has anyone heard anything from either?

Wishing everybody luck

Has anyone heard from Georgia State or Tulane MFA drawing programs? Also, is there is anyone else from the Rutgers interviews from yesterday how do your feel it went? 

I had an skype interview for MFA at Rutgers, but it didn't go well. I think I should have been more prepared for it??. How was yours?

Im still waiting for my letter to arrive but does your package mention anything about funding? 

From what I was told, funding was determined afterwards??? Although shouldnt merit based aid be determined already?

I was told that Georgia State was trying to get stuff out before March 15.  What program did you apply to?

hey, would you mind sharing your interview experience? i've heard that RISD interviews are brutal, so i'd like to prepare for a lashing beforehand.

[Shinobi_Legend]

@Sahar.ea  In person it was crazy intimidating. I felt I didn't miss a beat and said everything that I needed to say. The interview was only 15 minutes so I scrambled to say everything that I could in the time limit that was there. I'm hoping that they thought it went well lol. Why do you think that yours didn't go so well?

I applied to the MFA visual art program. I heard some other people have received rejection letters already.

[ackno]

I got a generic vague email from SAIC on friday that I am invited to an admitted students reception. haven’t gotten an official acceptance yet though. ?

after a seemingly great interview and visit at calarts I’m leaning that way if i get in, knock on wood. i know it’s irrational but saic’s shoddy communication is turning me off a bit further :/

I also received SVA MFA fine arts interview invitation yesterday, I guess I better start preparing now.

Did anyone receive Pratt's painting and drawing interview invitation?????

Whew, just got done with the MICA interview, and I think it went well!

 

[Teylorrrrrr]

@AngryHaroldThe one I had was actually pretty chill. Around 15 mins. I guess that depends on the department? I am sculpture. Pretty nice people pretty normal questions, why risd, why graduate school now, talk about the issues you are working with in your work.

Has anyone heard from University of Maryland college park?

alright, well i hope that's how mine goes too. i've heard words like "grilled" and "tribunal style" thrown around about their interviews, which i can deal with, i just want to be ready.
