Hello there,

I just graduated from undergrad in Dec. 2007 and I am interested in applying to the RISD MFA Graphic Design program (and other similar programs) for Fall 2009 entrance. I am particularly interested in RISD’s program, but am wondering if the majority of accepted students are fairly recent undergraduates or a bit older and have more industry experience? I was also wondering where I might look at accepted students’ portfolios to see the general level of caliber expected? I hope to land a full time design position soon and work at that until Fall '09, but for the moment I am continuing a user interface design internship for a start-up company. I believe I’ve gained a significant amount of industry design experience these past 6 months, but am unsure of how my qualifications may match the rest of the applicant pool. Thanks a bunch! :D
