<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I am new here and I am sooo glad I found this website. I really need your input and help/ Long story short, I have been accepted into DePaul and CCM. I was awarded a 10,000 a year talent scholarship to go to DePaul and I was awarded no Scholarship for CCM. However, CCM is in state. Total cost with living and food for DePaul is looking to be in the $34,000 range, and CCM is looking to be in the $18-$20,00 range. Again, that is per year, including housing and food.</p>
<p>A little about me, I discovered my love for Theatre only 2 years ago and since then have received an AA in theatre, performing in about 9 plays in 2 years and totally immersing myself in the world of acting. I want my life to be acting, be it film or theatre, and I want to give myself the best opportunities possible. I am 22 years old and living with my parents. They are going to help me pay for some school, but I ma going to have to take out loans for much of it. My dad makes quite a bit of money and I am really not getting any kind of aid, but it's hard because he is also supporting my pregnant sister and her husband until they get their feet under them\, and cannot really afford to help me as much as he would like to. To be honest, I really want to go to DePaul but there is a considerable price difference. I would really alike all of your opinions on both schools and feedback on what they do Well Etc. Keep in Mind this is for Drama, not Musical Theatre. This is a scary time in my life, and I feel like this decision will affect the rest of my life. I need it to be informed.</p>
