<p>Just a quick comment, keep in mind that several of the programs at RIT are 5-year programs, so it is usually better to say when you are starting then when you are ending school, in order to better understand.</p>
<p>taxguy: Congratulations to your daughter. Will she be going?</p>
<p>tabletcorry: Good point, I didn't realize that. From now on, everyone who apllied to RIT for FALL 2006 ADMISSION, post your results here.</p>
<p>I don't know if she will be going.She prefers University of Cincinnati because of their very strong coop program.</p>
<p>We are awaiting several schools and awaiting financial offers before making any decisions. By the way, she has applied foir Fall 2006 Admission.</p>
<p>taxguy: While I am not entirely sure about other departments, I know that RIT also has a very strong Co-Op program. That is one of the reasons that I went here.</p>
<p>Table, yes they do EXCEPT for their School of Design. This is why the coop is optional for the School of Design in New Media and Graphic Design.</p>

Essays: well, i thought it was pretty good, and i was accepted, so i guess it couldn't of been too bad...haha.
School/Major: School of Imaging Science/Photojournalism.</p>
<p>did anyone else think it strange that they didn't want a portfolio for photo? does anyone know why that is? it was the only school i applied to that didn't, and yet its the best photo program in the nation...seems ironic.</p>
<p>also, anyone know anything about the specialty houses? i'm thinking of applying, for the photo one of course...are they really, i dont know, that special?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Well, I do not know a great deal about the photo house, but I have been to the computer science house many times, and it is a great place. So, it is definitely worth the effort to get into a special interest house if it appeals to you (besides, you can always leave if you must). </p>
<p>Also, it is far more difficult to join a house once you are a student here.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted
GPA: 3.99 (graduating Summa Cum Laude in May '06 with a BA in Art, Concentration in Media Studies and Minor in Creative Writing)
SAT: unimportant (I'm going into the grad school so they didn't ask for it. Plus I'm on the old scale)
EC's: Literary Magazine, Puppetry Performance Classes, Alpha Lambda Delta Honors Society, Dean's List (including National DL), American Scholar, violin, erm...probably some other stuff, but i can't remember :s
Essays: well, my mommy liked them. lol j/k. My advisor said they were excellent. I thought my RIT essay was the best in the lot, to be honest. Out of my other ones I've written, that is. lol
School/Major: Graduate Program, Imaging Arts: Animation, Film and Video</p>
<p>I did a study abroad in England last year, where I studied only animation. Also, I have a very strong Fine Arts background and a very strong drive I think I conveyed rather well in my essay.</p>
<p>Oh, and I got a merit scholarship for $4500...idk if that'll do me much good, considering I supposedly can't use it if I get other forms of financial aid, which I'll DEFINITELY need, considering I'm now considered independent and my EFC is in the 3-grand range :s</p>
