<p>I'm applying this year and REALLY hoping I get in for next Fall. I'm coming from a BA in Art from Berkeley and just had a few questions regarding the program.</p>
<p>Regarding the environment...</p>
<p>Is anyone in this program right now, and if so, how do you like it? How are the courses? How is the environment? The professors?</p>
<p>What's the acceptance rate for the program? (I keep hearing things like it's 20-30 out of the 200-300 people who apply to this program as opposed to Yale's 10 students for their entire drama program only?)</p>
<p>Regarding the portfolio and interview process...</p>
<p>Should I include pieces like life drawing -- like in an illustration portfolio?</p>
<p>How does the interview process work?</p>
<p>Can I include pictures (that aren't mine, or photos I or a friend has taken) that help me explain my inspiration?</p>
<p>Can I include drafts from AutoCAD or VectorWorks that are printed or should I hand-draft? Same with paint scales... can I paint them in Photoshop and print them out or are they looking for hand done paint scales?</p>
<p>Can I bring actual models to the interview?</p>
<p>And how long is each interview?</p>
<p>Anddd of course...</p>
<p>How's the job market after graduation for set/production designers?</p>
<p>Thanks, and looking forward to your replies! =)</p>
