I am happy!

Well... I would be really happy, except for the fact that I am sooooo sick... I don't get sick very often but when I do, watch out!

Anyhoo, I got accepted to SCAD! I thought I might, but there is nothing quite like having that letter in your hands. Did I make it?

Well I applied for some other schools; Art Center, MICA and I hope to hear back from them soon. Now... All I need to do is figure out how I going to pay for school *scratches head*

Anyhoo, Felt like sharing the good news!

Congradulations! I hope I can anticipate the same feeling later this year.. (I'm applying to art school too) I'm happy for you.

Yeah!!!!

Take THAT! *Ugn!!*

I'm happy for you. Go have yourself some ice cream.

(AFTER you get well. Drink lots of water and take your vitamin C!)

GJ Jucas that will be fun.

I am planning on applying there next year. Any way you would be willing to post any information on your GPA or test scores? And did you submit a portfolio? If you submitted one what did it contain? I can only imagine how good that must feel to get the letter (except for the secondary reaction of "Oh no how in the heck do I pay for this!?!?")

hope you get over your sickness soon!

Congrats. If you don't have the money for school I guess you'll be taking out a college loan

Cool dude!
Currently I am working a daily grind of customer service hell to afford SCAD. Seriously, it's hell.

Althought the other day it was awesome. I got this phone call:

"Hi, this is your enrollment manager. We haven't recieved your matriculation fee yet. I was wondering what your plans were."
"Yeah, I'm working now to make the money to afford SCAD, so you had better roll that back at least a year."
"Ok, I will."
"Thanks".

[five minutes later]

"Hi, this is your enrollment manager. I was looking through your files, and you are eligable for a $7500 scholarship."
"Yep."
"Did you know that?"
"Yep. Thanks for pointing it out though"
"Bye."

HA! You're getting warmer! Now where do I get the other 10 grand a year?

Ughh. My life is a lie.

Hey thanks guys, I am slowly getting better. SLOWLY...

-xXxPZxXx
phew... that was hard.. typing your alias lol. Anyhoo, you wanted to know my GPA and test scores;
GPA; 3.3
SAT; 1100 or so, can't remember exactly.

I did submit a portfolio and I will be posting some of the work soon. So keep and eye out for that stuff if you want something to compare your work too.

Other than that, I am going to lay down and cough myself to death.

*cough* later *cough* *cough*

Weee! I just got accepted there today, too. But I didn't send them a portfolio, cause if I did they'd be like "ha ha ha yeah right, screw you kid" but still yay! Anyway congrats to you Jucas!

-edit for c-

Aye! all these people getting in and then teasing. I guarantee out of the thousands of people there are many that are curious as to what test scores and GPA's everyone has. I hate to bring it up so much but I know there are more than just me wondering what it takes to get into these schools.

Thanks

wtfrick? scad is savannah right? how do you get accepted without showing your portolio?

Ben Barker · Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2002 3:59 pm

You can get accepted as a freshman without a portfolio. However to be considered for scholarships a portfolio must be submitted for review.
A good portfolio can make up for crappy grades.
If you are a transfer student, a portfolio review is required for certain credits to transfer.

GPA: 3.2
SAT 1350
ACT 31
Applied as a transfer student.
Most credits would transfer no prob.
I haven't officially submited my portfolio, but I took it for a review day and they seemed to like it. I got a free t shirt out of it. Eh.
