<p>^ Agree with what others have said and will add a couple more thoughts:</p>
<p>When considering which schools are out of financial reach, be sure to consider what your actual cost will be. For some schools, it is in fact the “list price” that you will pay; but many schools, including some of the of the most expensive, become very affordable after academic /or talent scholarships, plus financial aid (if you qualify). </p>
<p>A BFA in MT is not synonymous with huge debt - I have 2 kids attending very affordable state schools - both are OOS but with generous scholarships. </p>
<p>Finally, in some other thread, I gave a detailed explanation of my CC handle, but suffice it to say, the motto for our kids has always been “Do What You Love”…</p>
