I applied to the Fine Arts Program at CalArts and I just heard from a friend today that just got rejected from the Animation program. I was just wondering if anyone has heard a reply back from CalArts? If so, did they send an email or some other way of noticing?
It says that the decision message should be shown in your ApplyYourself page, I haven’t heard back from the admissions team too… I applied for Fine Arts. But it seems like many of the applicants for Character Animation are getting their decisions
It is said that the admissions team send an email to check the ApplyYourself portal (where you uploaded your transcripts). The decision status should be posted there. Sometimes the decision status is uploaded to the portal before the email comes, so make sure to check the portal regularly.
I applied to the Fine Arts program too and haven’t received a decision yet. So nervous!
So far looks like they did animation. We are waiting on film.
I hadn’t heard anything either. I applied to experimental animation and supposedly they’re supposed to release those before character animation. I think a lot of decisions get released in waves and we’ll probably see a lot of people start to receive decisions on the 20th. Good luck! 
Omg I just checked my portal and my decision was literally released an hour ago… haven’t checked it yet but we’ll see!!! Good luck to everyone!!!
yea, i applied to that program too! Good luck to you!
oh, well i just got rejected. its ok haha
Did anyone get the decision letter? How they inform you like via email or mail or the message on VIP page?
I apply to Composition& Experience Sounds Practice major. I submitted my application in perferred term. CalArts’ website shows the letter will be sent out since March 1, but I have not received any message yet…
Have a great day guys
There might be a delay in admissions letters due to the recent protest by students regarding the tuition hike. Also, the way they inform your acceptance or rejection is through a notification that you’ll receive in your e-mail regarding an update on the calarts portal.
Best of Luck!

update: I was rejected but it’s okay the tuition was too expensive for me to have attended, regardless. I wish a sincere good luck and congratulations to anyone awaiting responses or who have already received them! I am sure that you are all very talented and will do great things no matter where you end up enrolling!
