I was going for the art + technology programs at each of these schools.
MIT: Rejected
UCLA: No news yet (or interview)
CalArts: Half tuition
Parsons: Full tuition
Feeling very inclined to go with Parsons unless UCLA comes out of nowhere.
Looks like there are also teaching options at Parsons to help cover some cost of living in NYC.
Congrats to you all and good luck!
Applied to UCLA, MIT, CalArts and Parsons. Rejected by MIT, haven't heard from UCLA (no interview), half package to CalArts, full ride to Parsons DT. Was a little shocked, but feel inclined to take the Parsons offer unless UCLA surprises me. Congrats to you all on your acceptances!
