Thanks! 
The scholarship has put it high up on my list… Although I’ve heard bad things about the dorms. Can anyone comment on this?
@magnetnh My D presented her portfolio in person and sent in a self-portrait by mail. Maybe they are looking for more observational pieces? That seemed to be a focus of my daughter’s review.
@veehee Yes that is right they asked for more observational pieces. S will send out this weekend.
@pastelrain congratulations on the acceptance and scholarship! Not sure what you heard about the dorms but the one I saw was nice. In room A/C, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms (two girls in each room). The dorm that I saw was right where the main building is located on 23rd street. I live in Manhattan and I’m very familiar with the area. If you can visit that would be great. It’s a fantastic school.
@magnetnh That makes sense. Foundation students draw A LOT so I suppose they need to see that applicants can draw from real life and not 2D images. Good luck! Tyler is an amazing school!
So my daughter got an email from MassArt today inviting her to an accepted students event. Apparently she’s been accepted but we haven’t received anything in the mail. I called the school and the sent the acceptance packet to her boarding school over break when they were closed. She is checking to see if the packet is there and if not they will resend to the home address. Because of this, I called MICA and told them to send her decision to the home address. Apparently when she filled out the common app she put her school address by accident. She wanted all notices sent here.
@NYCMomof3 Did MICA indicate when that might be?
@NYart15 I asked on the phone this morning and she said 1/15 is when they mail out. I also asked will the decision be available online line and she said no. She said once we receive the decision letter, if my child is accepted the packet will have a MICA acct for them to sign in to and go from there.
Thanks @NYCMomof3!!!
Best of luck to both our kids. ;
Best of luck to all of those who applied to MICA!
@NYart15 same here…good luck! What other schools are you missing
@NYCMomof3
Waiting on
Moore
Northeastern
Brown/RISD (app not fully submitted yet)
Montclair state (accepted academically, waiting on portfolio review)
You?
@NYart15 just waiting on MICA. Even though she got into MassArt, we still haven’t received the paperwork. It was her last choice out of the four schools she sent out. I’m interested in seeing what MassArt offered her.
Good luck on the schools that you are still waiting for
So far:
Accepted- SVA, CCA, ArtCenter, University of Houston, University of North Texas
Waiting on- RISD, Ringling, Laguna, Otis, MICA, Parsons, Pratt, SCAD and RIT…
…I’m a very indecisive person…
Everyone waiting on MICA can call or e-mail the AO on 1/15 and explain that you are making plans for admitted student days and need to take advantage of low air fares etc so is it possible to find out earlier than waiting for the package to arrive etc. etc. That’s what we did. She was wonderful about responding. Didn’t want to spoil the surprise but said my D could go ahead and schedule the trip.
The problem with the package, at least our year, was that it was USPS priority so took longer than it should have - I’m glad we had e-mailed because we really were facing a deadline with cheap fares.
@JBStillFlying Thanks for that! I’ll try doing that next week.
DS heard from LSU, who wants more information from him: mid-term grades, personal statements, and letters of recommendation. I have heard good things about LSU’s art program so we will do what we need to do.
We haven’t heard from VCU Arts which makes me wonder if that’s a bad sign since many on this thread received their acceptances very quickly after submitting all information.
Has anyone on this thread made their final decision on where they will be attending next year? My DD says she’s 99% sure she will be attending UC DAAP. We haven’t seen the campus though and won’t be going until March. I wish we were 100%!
@IDtoTX I won’t know until March unfortunately…RISD decisions only come out late March 
@IDtoTX We’re with @pastelrain … I think my D will be waiting on RISD.
