Oh hi, Congratulations! You're for the 2yr program as well? Indeed crazy times. I'm too waiting for the financial aid offer - and I also heard from current students that it was generous [no numbers though]. The thing is, I am a U.S citizen - I just grew up in another country. So I don't exactly know what the policy there is for internationals. I haven't started looking for housing yet - since until the financial info comes up I don't know for sure that I can afford it. Have you started? Anyway - I'll keep you updated! Hope we'll meet someday :-)

Officially going to Yale in the fall.

Alright, after being on waitlist for RISD - I finally got an acceptance!

About the SVA financial aid - I checked the MySVA site, but there was no offer there...

Oh my god - I GOT IN ! ! !

Yay!! yayyyyy...

Kazoo - good luck! Hang in there - SAIC and UCSD are really great and they didn't give their final answer yet. I'm also on the waiting list for RISD...

Well, that's really up to you - after all, your money is your business. I can say that in my opinion, education is the best way to spend one's money. In my case - I will be spending money I don't have - but I'm able to stay in the States, work and pay it back [not that it will be easy]. If you're planning on going back to your country after you graduate, but you think you can already get a good job there right now - then you should ask yourself if the extra education and the experience of living abroad are worth that amount of money. And ask yourself if with the salaries payed in your country, it is possible to cover the expenses of this education over a reasonable period of time.

Joining the the praises Kazoo! Chapeau for being so caring and positive :]
