Thanks for your condolences! I hope you figure your finances out. SVA seems like a pretty solid school, and it should be perfect for **the market** haha. I was looking to get into Brooklyn College, but after getting accepted I realized I didn't want more loans, so I'm basing my decision on financial aid and hoping that the Tampa market is enough for me to get my foot in the door.
I applied to a bunch of schools (mainly subsidized schools), but have only been accepted to: The University of South Dakota w/ financial aid, The University of South Florida Tampa, w/ financial aid, Brooklyn College no financial aid, and The University of Arkansas - waitlisted.
Rejected: Tulane, Columbia, Yale, Saic, IU Bloomington and waiting to hear back on 2 more.
