<p>The CalArts deadline is the 5th of January. I want to apply to the school, but I wouldn't have all my material (from my highschool's part -transcript/recommendations) submitted before that deadline, because I don't get back to school until the 5th..</p>
<p>I know if I would have applied in a timely matter, all would have gone exceptionally well for me and this school, acceptance and financial help. So this is my plan, either finish the application and submit it with everything from my side, and have the transcript/recommendations/sat scores sent after the deadline. </p>
<p>Or... don't worry about submitting an application right now and just transfer after my first year at another school... The other school would be SCAD.</p>
<p>The reason why I'm considering waiting on the school that I really want to attend is because I need financial help, and I'm worried that because it'd be after the deadline I won't receive any. I also don't want to be eventually rejected on the basis of lateness.. which could screw me over later maybe? </p>
<p>Please help me figure this out..</p>
