I'm out of state the first year, but I'm a US citizen. They offered me "at least 15k" but that includes a TAship. I think the total tuition for both years will be around $20k or less.
I know for sure that it does mean something in painting. I asked my friend who is a current second year painter there if people get off the waitlist and he said "ALL OF THE TIME." that often, people will get into both Columbia and Yale for example, and chose to be in ny (or with their faculty or funding). That said, you should probably call and see how they decide who gets off etc.
I second that, wait lists are a good sign. People could be getting into multiple schools and choose another over yale for any number of reasons. There is still hope!
I think when you bring things though you have to release the school from responsibility if something happens. Ugh, but still, what a bummer.
I don't know if it's any consolation, but I had a teacher who used to say when things like this happened, that you made it once, you have it in you to make it again!
there are income-based student loan repayment plans! I don't think you'll ever have to get extra jobs to make student loan payments

Thank you Obama!
I'm really sorry to post this right after you greentyme,
but someone asked about the vcu package
this is what they told me (sculpture)
full tuition for the first year ~18k (out of state)
stipend ~10k of which around 4k would be spent in fees to the university
the stipend would require 15 hours of work a week, either as a TA or a lab monitor basically.
they said that for the second year there is substantial money but that they can't really guarantee it, bc the amounts fluctuate from year to year
hey guys
Thanks for the support! Cheers to everyone who has been hearing good news of late!! It's exciting that soon we'll be able to focus on making things.
I'm posting because I heard that my friend got an interview with USC, so it seems confirmed that if we haven't heard anything yet, we're out.
Hey guys,
So I have another update-- today I got an email acceptance to VCU sculpture!
But I know for sure that they're still notifying people for interviews, they go kind of slowly.
