i really want to attend the school of the art institute of chicago but money is an issue for me and i really want to avoid taking out loans for school. SAIC claims that if you do their pre-college program that you’ll get priority scholarship money when applying for undergrad. i’d have to apply for a scholarship for the pre-college but i’m just wondering if anyone knows if it’s worth it and will actually help me get more scholarship money down the road. i want to do the program anyways, but am wondering if those claims are true. i know they waive your portfolio requirement if you do it which basically seems like automatic acceptation to me, but i’m more worried about money than i am actually getting in.
