Hi. ive been lurking this thing for awhile and i havn't posted. I too applied to vcu and got the pre rejection/summer studio letter. I also applied to hunter and MICA and got rejected. Im still in undergrad at pratt for painting and contemplating if the summer studio would be a good idea for me. Or is it just a chance to spend money on experiance i could gain out side of school, and do they just offer it to everyone. i know that they give a thousand dollar scholarship which isn't very much. I think that vcu is such a great program and the summer studio would be a great opportunity to meet some of the facutly a vcu, i just can't get over the price. It almost as much as a year at vcu if your a virginia resident which i am. If anyone knows anyone whos gone i would love to here about there experience
