hi! jumping into this thread to answer this question. i did post-bac at SAIC, and it was an AMAZING decision. my post bac year was incredibly transformative and super fun. i am still in contact with my post-bac cohort, many of whom actually went on to do their mfas at SAIC. if you take advantage of the program it’ll give you the resources to continue on to competitive mfa programs (if you want), or it’ll help you bypass that step altogether and declare yourself a fully fledged artist without mfa. obviously if you’re paying out of pocket, SAIC is mind numbingly expensive. but if you have the resources or were given aid i recommend it, especially if you’re not sure what school is actually a good fit for you or if you’re uncertain about this whole thing.
