    I just got a letter in the mail from CCAD. $36,000 SCHOLARSHIP, BITCHES! I know it's not anywhere near the probably over $100,000 that it'll cost in total, but god damn, I wasn't expecting anywhere near that much, even knowing that they're generous! x33333333 My whole dayweekmonthyearLIFE is...

    Aaaaaaand Ringling accepted me too. I don't think I got a scholarship from them, but they were nice enough to give me some cute little buttons, a pencil, and a mini-sketchbook.

    Yeah, the first thing I thought upon seeing that was "lol hey, trendy bi kids get free money". Although I guess it depends on what exactly you have to do to qualify. :3 :3 Now I just have to stress out for another week until scholarship results come in.

    Well now I have a date. Kind of. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU--- I haven't even got an acceptance/rejection D:/whatever letter yet, although from the looks of their wall posts I'm not the only one. I wanna knooooooooow! Edit: Oh, a friend of mine got accepted to a school in the UK. Art...

    I wish I had a set date at all. Both of my remaining schools are just sending out notifications as they make the decisions. :c edit: The closest thing to an interview I had was a rather informal look-over of my portfolio for advice from one of CCAD's admissions guys. I didn't get ripped apart...

    I liked to draw; my early high school years were all 'angst angst angst I don't want to work a shitty cubicle job'; art is the one thing I can stand to do all day every day and I frequently get pissed that I'm stuck doing algebra busywork when I could be improving artistically; I'm not sure what...

    Totally done applying to CCAD and submitting scholarship stuff for SCAD. Getting there with Ringling (which fortunately has a later deadline). Can't wait to hear back. D:

    So now I really need to buckle down and write my personal statement for CCAD. I don't want to BS it, but I don't want to end up writing the "I'm ~passionate~ about art!" shit that everyone else writes either. :[

    So I'm really hoping for now that my dad will qualify for the education benefits with the GI Bill and be able to pass them to me. He was in the military long enough to retire and served overseas longer than what's required to qualify, so it's looking pretty good. I could have half of my...

    Well, most of the time it is just based on your application and whatever supplements they require. Colleges don't really come to you unless you're awesome; you have to go to them. The way each individual school handles things can be different. It usually starts out with you filling out an...

    Ah, okay. We just send our stuff directly to the admissions office wherever we're applying, and can decide to go anywhere that accepts us without formally narrowing it down or anything. :v

    So what exactly are these 'offers'? I don't think we really get 'offers' here, just lots of junk mail after the SAT and then acceptance/rejection letters, with whatever information colleges we've applied to decide to send us before they make their decision.

    I'm kind of concerned about whether or not my art teacher will write my rec letter on time. She's a bit forgetful when it comes to those sorts of things. :|

    Yeah, that's who it is. They're really not my first choice (sorry Kratos D: D: D:) but the fact that they give out academic scholarships unlike some colleges that happen to be my first choice is very compelling. I've already got a good $20,000 from them, and I could get more money still by...

    So I just got accepted to SCAD with a $5,000 per year scholarship from out of nowhere. :0

    Sooooo, I visited CCAD today and lived through my first portfolio review. I still have until February to overhaul it if I want a good scholarship, but the dude there gave some awesome advice. And I got a feel for the place and all. c: Just wanted to say that, really.

    Knda depends; if you're a citizen and you go to an in-state public college you could easily get there for about $8,000 a year (and that's if you don't get a scholarship; some states like mine will even give you full-ride scholarships to in-state schools if you have good grades and test scores.)...

    God, I hope not. I'm trying to get far, far away from homophobic pretending-not-to-be-racist Fox News-viewing religious conservatives who keep me up at night with their loud bitching in the next room about the current president. Although considering that, there aren't many ways it can be worse...

    That just sounds like you're trying to seem all intelligent in an attempt to impress them. :| I can't imagine carrying an interview like that. I figured that honesty would be the thing to set my essay apart from all the "Ever since I was little I've wanted to be an artist~~~!" people, and my...
