I know it is a wrong thing to ask at the moment but can you please walk us (UG and UG wannabe parents) thru what entail in design MFA admissions?
what did you submit? I mean not just “portfolio” but what and how much is in it? and rec letters, resume, whatelse?
what do you talk about in interview?
why are you accepted/wait listed/ did not get call back?
have you worked some years prior to this?
what is your goal, if you are to earn masters in design, what’s next?

from what I know, CCA loft is amazing but (fine art) works I saw made me wonder if they are really “at it” don’t know how they do design.
If you want to go any brain route, I’d pick SAIC if you can pay.
thou I don’t believe rankings of conventional magazines.
