Interlochen Arts Academy creative writing

My kid is dreaming about going to Interlochen for creative writing.
Does anyone know how hard is it to get in and if they are generous with FA?
Also, just general feedback on their creative writing department and students who attend. She is hoping to find her tribe and thinks Interlochen is it :slight_smile:

Hi! I am in the same place you are. My daughter wants to go there for CW as well and we need FA too. I don’t know about admissions so I can’t help you, but maybe we can share information as we get it. My daughter went to their CW summer camp and wants to go back so that’s a great sign. I think they could find their tribe there.

Yes, message me!

Have you looked at Walnut Hill School for the Arts? My child applied to both and got much better financial aid at Walnut Hill than at Interlochen, and Walnut Hill has a writing, film, and media arts major. However, my child interviewed at Walnut Hill, but not at Interlochen, so maybe the lack of a visit influenced the financial aid offered.

Interlochen does Skype interviews, I believe. Did they ask her to do an on-site interview?
