Hi ! I just interviewed yesterday with CCA for their painting and drawing program. They told me that they would get back within the week about acceptance/rejection but it seemed really positive. I'm from California and currently live in Chicago. I went to SAIC for their post-bacc program and loved it, although there were some things about the school that I found a bit stifling. I had an interview with VCU last weekend that went horribly. The interview with CCA was so much better ! The man I spoke with was really lovely and it felt more like a real conversation instead of a strange interrogation. I miss California and would love to move back and be a part of the bay area art scene again and possibly the LA art scene. If I get in I'm thinking about moving to Oakland.....if anyone else out there is looking into Oakland it would be cool to find a big loft space to share.....I know a lot the students have been starting their own galleries. Anyway, I don't even know if I got in yet so I suppose I shouldn't be writing most of this......but I will get back to this forum soon.......
