thelostshrimpball Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hi, there! Nowadays I'm really confused on my decision of which school to go to. I got my admission of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Both of them are amazing schools. I applied for SAIC's Visual Communication Design (VCD) program and MICA's Graphic Design program. SAIC has better location, ranks 2nd in art schools. But its VCD program only ranks 12th in United States and it gives me no scholarship. MICA's location is not that perfect, ranks 4th in art schools. But its Graphic Design program is prestigious. It ranks 3rd! And it gives me great scholarship. So I really have no ideas on which school to choose. It drives me nuts. So any ideas and advice, guys? Looking forward to your kind reply.

ibel29 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well, congrats that is amazing news. It sounds like you are more drawn to SAIC. If money is not an issue then go to it. But I'd go with the one that offers great scholarship. I understand that location is also important, but would you lose such an opportunity to avoid money issues in the future? Wish I could have offered better help. All the best though in deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for RISD. But I think there's already no hope. I've already decided to go to SAIC as long as I get the rejection of RISD. LOL. Have you decided which school to go to?

Lol, well I'm glad I could. I am really stuck to be honest. But I know which school I want, Columbia, it's just so expensive. But either way at least I have a good selection though, right.
