Spaced Out

I was very impressed by CCA and I am in love with the campus as well as SF's Art Scene. Any attempt I have made to deny or ignore this gut feeling has just felt so forced and wrong.

Yes I would love some advice on how to do this. I really really want to attend CCA but I really need MORE funding. What is a tactful way of going about this? I am about to write an honest and heartfelt letter explaining my financial disposition. The deadline for INtent to Enroll is the 15th of April and The deadline to accept the financial aid package is May 1st. Any advice would help. Thanks and Congrats on your successes!

Honestly, I would follow your gut. Go where( school/ City) you feel the best vibe and are more inspired. Thats just my 2 cents. good luck!

I am likely going to be attending CCA, so as I begin to look at apts. I will post my findings. I really love SF and I felt amazing while I was there this weekend. It really does seem like a great place!

After visiting SF and the CCA campus I must say I am quite enamored by both the facilities and the work coming out of there. I loved the huge open expanse of the main building and also liked the village like feel of the fine art MFA studios. I felt like I was in an artist collective as opposed to an art school. I didnt get the feeling from any of the students that they were particularly unhappy with the program either. The only thing im a little bummed/ worried about is the funding. I didnt get as much as I was hoping but I also feel like I know what Im getting into and feel its worth it. This is opposed to going to a good school in the midwest where I would not be surrounded by a vibrant street art culture and ind. art culture like I imagine I would in SF. It just felt right I guess is the bottom line. I have pretty much made up my mind. just need to send some $ to make it official

Right on thanks!

Yes that does help Thanks! I think I do recall during my interview that he said they were really open about students working in other disciplines.

Anyone know anything about the process of deferring? Its in the back of my mind as an option but I'm unsure exactly what it entails. Any feedback would be helpful.

Good to hear about CCA facilities! Excited to check it out. What kind of questions did you ask? Im trying to run some through my head but feel like Im going to leave and realize I should have asked more. Im accepted for Painting/drwng

I still have yet to receive my aid either. going out there sat. hopefully clear things up. Really want to go and hope I can get some dough

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Owe a lot-don't have a lot-need a lot Also if the place and or school I go to is an area I can chill in for a bit and either show or work instead of having to up and move after 2yrs.

Still haven't received my award letter from CCA. Annoying

MY Final UPDATED LIST ACCEPTED UW MADISON-Didnt get TA position-No other funding available for this year that I know about CCA-Still Waiting on Funding Info REJECTED PRATT HUNTER VCU BERKELEY SAIC RISD

Nope. Still nothing. I wonder if it has something to do with my FAFSA form. I was part of a small percentage of people that filled out the online form and there was some sort of glitch so I filled out 2009-2010 instead of 2010-2011

I got rejected to VCU and Im pretty sure they mentioned something about the summer program(they sent the letter to my parents address)
