Art School admission 2018

@itsreallymia so happy that CMU was his first choice! Wonderful to be done with this process! What a great way to end the year!

D got her first acceptance today. Lesley U. admissions counselor called her with the good news tonight. Such a great feeling!!

My D is a hopeful animator/aspiring concept artist. Acceptances so far:
East Carolina University
UNC Charlotte (accepted to University, still needs to send in portfolio for art school admission)
VCU Arts
UNCSA Filmmaking (just got email today)
Ringling (just got letter today - accepted to all majors EXCEPT Computer Animation. Apparently “record number of applications…competition intensified this year.” They sent info on their closely related majors: Motion Design, Game Art, Illustration, and the new Virtual Reality program and said pick one and we’ll send you an acceptance package.

Anyone else get a letter from Ringling like that?

@ready2launch–Ringling’s CA major is extremely competitive .Acceptance rate is about 10% into the program. The reason deadlines for CA are earlier than for the other majors is so they can offer another option to students.
Their other programs are good too. The new Virtual Reality program looks especially intriguing to me.
It was started in response to growing demand in the industry. Might end up where the jobs are.

Hi all, I applied to a bunch of schools for animation this year and I have not yet received any decisions (yikes). Does anyone know when Pratt/SVA will start sending out their decisions?
Thanks!

@animation2022 my daughter also applied animation to SVA early action. I’ve tried reading old forums and from what I read, SVA started sending out decisions last December the week of xmas…like 12/22. I’m hoping she will hear something soon from one of the schools she has applied to. I didn’t look up PRATT since she didn’t apply there. GL

@animation2022
A previous poster mentioned that their D applied EA to Pratt & heard 12/22.
My D applied there EA & no word yet.
Also applied EA to Northeastern & nothing yet there either.
Best of luck!!!

@NYCMomof3 @NYart15 ok thank you so much for the info and good luck to both of your daughters as well!

Just submitted portfolios to RISD, Ringling and Laguna for illustration…fingers crossed!!

@NYart15 I just checked and my D rec’d the EA acceptance email from Pratt on 12/23…which was the Friday before Christmas break. So 12/22 does seem like a likely date this year.

@pastelrain LCAD is pretty fast. We heard from them within 2 weeks. Good luck!

@AskExperts good to know! thank you!!

Just wanted to say I got my first acceptance this morning to VCUarts! So excited!!

@animation2022 congrats!!

anyone hear back from SAIC early action yet?

@animation2022 Congrats! We submitted all material to VCU Arts last week, hoping to hear soon.

My D received an acceptance letter from Montclair State yesterday. They accept without a portfolio placing you as an undeclared major. Then you get to submit portfolio for consideration as your chosen major, so she’s halfway there. Montclair was tossed into the ring last minute. We haven’t visited but I stumbled upon it researching for my musical theatre-bound D. BFA animation/illustration program looked great. Anyone know anything about it?

@sbgal2011 I submitted my materials by November 15 and portfolio November 30 so it took about 2 weeks after my whole app was submitted!

Congratulations! that’s a great accomplishment.

Was just accepted to California College of the Arts!
