<p>coolrena, Since you were also accepteed at NYU's Tisch School, will you attend NYU or Chapman?</p>

<p>meh.</p>

<p>i'm going to say neither.</p>

<p>why? because private schools are expensive and even though my parents can afford private schools, it will lower their standard of living by a lot and then don't want to take out loans due to fear of beign in debt and stuff....</p>

<p>so... even tho NYU is really my top choice by miles and miles, i love chapman and it is my 2nd choice. and .. well. i can't attend either. i'm sad. =((( hahaha.</p>

<p>coolrena88, so sorry that you won't get to go to your top choices. Where will you go? BTW, you are gaining much more by your thoughtful consideration of your parent's situation. You have your priorities straight. I predict a wonderful life for you!</p>

General Comments: Better than what I was expecting</p>

<p>haha thanks adultparentmom!</p>

<p>but guess what??? today i just got a 7K scholarship to chapman! yay!</p>

<p>.. but i still can't go (33K is still a bit pricey for me). hahaha. it depends. i applieid for this 4K scholarship thru my dads company.. and if i get that, then i think it's chapman for sure. but if i don't, it will either take a lot of convincing my parents... and then we'll see.</p>

<p>otherwise if its not nyu or chapman, i'm still waiting for LMU.. and who knows? maybe they will give me a larger scholarship.
if not,</p>

<p>then i might just go to UCSC (i have still have some UC's to appeal to, though) and then transfer to UCLA Film (which is what i really want to study) or go to a nearby community college then transfer to UCLA film (and hopefully i will get in). yup. so a couple choices right now, even though i am not totally excited about them, but because i can't go to my 1st or 2nd choice.. i think i know i'm going to work harder and harder in the future until i can finally get somethign i want (whether its college, career, etc). </p>

<p>anyway. does anybody know about the digital arts program at chapman, besides the fact that it is a new major? cause i got accepted to that, and i have no clue what it's rank/prestige is, etc etc.</p>
