<p>I'm having an interview on Campus for admission into Cornell's School of Art, Architecture and Planning</p>
<p>UNDER FINE ARTS</p>
<p>Can anyone who interviews/has been interviewed give me pointers on how to dress/what to prepare for/ general tips?</p>
<p>I'm bringing my portfolio, mostly all original and have a good explanation for my artwork and my concept behind it</p>
<p>I'm also bringing my art resume</p>
<p>What should I prepare for? How long is it? Is it with the whole faculty or what? </p>
<p>As you can tell, I'm helpless... SO HELP</p>
<p>have fun with it. take it as a chance for you to find out more about the school, indulge in your passions, and show off your work. you will probably be meeting with one art professor. </p>
<p>semi-formal wear should be fine. good luck!</p>
<p>anyone else? i heard u have to talk about art history and that scares me</p>
<p>noone has any advice?</p>
<p>depends on the professor. think of it as a conversation. ENJOY it!</p>
<p>Okay - it's with one professor, and the time slot given is an hour. Usually, they take about 45 min. They make you fill out a sheet with your SAT scores, GPA, some general info, and give you a couple of sheets with last year's BFA curriculum, degree requirements, etc.</p>
<p>There are some questions on the sheet too - the professor I was with filled it out as he interviewed me. Stuff about what opportunities in art you've undertaken, how well-read you are about art history (you don't need to know too much), and things you've done in school relating to art. I might be a bit off here. It's generally just to check that you don't live under a rock and don't know anything. At the very end, there's a little scale asking the professor to rate your portfolio on a scale from 1-5. </p>
<p>I'm from Toronto. My interviewer had been there several times and we talked a bit about where I did my life drawing pieces. </p>
<p>Then, you walk through all your artwork and give an explanation of the concept and/or describe the technique you used. After that, you'll be asked if you have any questions (ask some!). If the interview went well, you might be given a tour around. :D That's a guess, but the interviewee before me didn't get a tour; I did, and I got in ED. </p>
<p>Have fun and enjoy Cornell! I didn't get to see much of the campus when I went (only stayed for a night) but you should take a couple of days and explore. Don't stress too much. It's pretty laid back. :)</p>
<p>Hope I see you this fall.</p>
<p>uh oh...i stink at art history! :(</p>
