This is the official discussion thread for Rhode Island School of Design Class of 2028 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
Anyone out there? Son applied RD. We are surprised at the lack of discussion on this board. He’s in at Parsons (EA/Communication Design) but thinking that’s NOT the school for him. Toured RISD over the summer and loved it. 34 ACT. President’s Community Service Award (twice). Decent grades at a very rigorous school (90 WGPA; didn’t take highest rigor but does have 4 APs total). 2 Scholastic Art Awards. Several small jobs with artists–like designing logos/marketing materials for a local skate wax company and designing a poster/flyer for a pop-up clothing market, plus interned at an art gallery. Also SCUBA certified, Belay certified, lifeguard certified, worked at summer camp last year, loves to travel.

Anyone have any guesses as to when decisions will be communicated?
They say the third week of March. Last year it was the third Friday, I think. So maybe the 15th? I think that would be the earliest! Maybe as late as the 22nd?

Anxiously awaiting as well. RISD is such a special school!
I just got an email saying, decisions are this week.
We haven’t received anything about decisions from RISD yet. Is that an email from the admissions office?
