I was recently accepted into both SAIC (BFA Writing) and Pratt Institute (BFA Writing minor in film) and I was wondering which one to choose to attend next year. I love the interdisciplinary program at SAIC and the fact that the facilities are so accessible to anyone despite their area of emphasis, but Pratt is appealing because of their location and connections to the artistic field after graduation. I haven’t seen many posts about SAIC vs Pratt for their writing/film programs (I’m trying to go into screenwriting and didn’t want to apply to film programs because I don’t have an affinity for editing or directing or cinematography, but wanted to be at an art school because of the approach to writing as art/experimental forms of writing that art schools give it) and wanted to know if anyone had any insights into the writing program itself or just the schools in general and the administration there or the academics.
I toured SAIC a month back and loved it, and am planning on touring Pratt this month, but if anyone could give me any insight or advice for the two schools, please let me know!!!
