Hello everyone
I am an international student. I applied to transfer to 5 RISD, SVA, Parsons, SCAD and SAIC. I have been accepted to the other 4 and waiting for RISD ( I think they’ll send decisions next week or the May 1st week, but I’m not confident for RISD)
I’m ruling out SAIC (too little aid) and SCAD (though they give me 15.5k but comparing to RISD, SVA and Parsons I though I’d rather pay a little bit more.)
I’m stuck in decision between Parsons and SVA now for graphic design/communication design and it would really help if you guys have any insights about the program in both schools.
Thank you so so much!
In addition, I receive $10k in scholarship for Parsons and $0 for SVA. I’m appealing for reconsideration from SVA but I only have my hopes. I know that they don’t give out a lot of aid. Also, as I’m international I’m not eligible for financial aid so it’s solely merit based.
Thank you in advance!!
wait parsons have released decisions? when did you complete all your application materials? I’m an international student too and I applied to parsons, sva and risd as well. I haven’t gotten any decision of these right now. I completed the application materials for parsons a little bit late. I guess this is the reason that I still did not get the decision?
@nickckna I submitted all materials for the deadline for SVA March 1st, and Parsons & RISD March 15th. If you applied after the deadline then possibly they’ll put you among the rolling basis applicants. I’m sure that they’ll get back to you it’s just you have to wait awhile for the decision letters.
Also,make sure that you log on to Parsons Admission Hub to check if they have received everything. It took them 15 days to process my documents so that might be one of the reasons why you haven’t received decision yet. I guess just call them all and make sure that your application is "under reviewed " then you’ll know for sure that you’re in for admission consideration.
hope it helps
did you consider VCUARTS? #2 ranked fine arts program in the entire country?
