Notes
Generic grad school rejection letter. Program coordinator told me a month ago decisions would be posted soon, yet nothing until now. Poor communication from art dept when UW Madison makes decisions in less than a month for many more applicants. UWM only admits around 9 students. I have advanced art skills, a stellar portfolio, juried art awards,p and contacts already in this department. This school focuses on contemporary art so would not have been a good fit for me, as I excel in skilled figural paintings and do not care for abstract ideas and minimalist "art". No loss from such a biased and poorly run department that plays favorites. Never sure how faculty can truly judge skill when the grad students admitted glue junk on a canvas and apparently that's more showing of skill than actual drawing/ painting to life proportions.
