Things are rolling pretty well. I have officially heard back from three universities.
I'm still deciding, making huge pro-con lists. I am also waiting to hear back from SCAD and Miami. If anything, I feel like the fight will be between SCAD and USC.
Somethings I am factoring in are:
-Program
-Professors
-Internship/Assistantship/Fellowship/ -ship opportunities
-Networking
-Facilities
-Community
-Cost of living
-Boyfriend
I am drawing inspiration from Paris Gellar's "Operation Finishline."
Yeah...I'm a wee bit intense.
I still have other paperwork ordeals to sort through and it's incredibly exhausting. I also keep thinking about where I will live and I have so many details I want to figure out but I can't yet. I am basically stressing myself out ahead of time.
I guess I will just take things as they come.
In the meantime here is a timeline:
April 15th- DECISION DAY!!!
That is the only date I need to know.

USC ACCEPTED ME!
Have to wait on others before I have to make a final decision but...YES!! It's my first choice.
So yeah...that's how the process is going.

So at this point in the MFA game I am in between two stages. The Wait and The Application. I have successfully submitted to University of Southern California, American University, and University of Miami. I am still applying to NYFA and SCAD.
What to do during this time...find people to commiserate with online via forums. I found a great thread on StudentFilms. It's oddly comforting to find people that are on the same boat and know that I am still sort of sane. Also, another Fulbrighter introduced me to GradCafe. Here I found a plethora of threads, other Fulbrighters, other MFA Film candidates, and even posts about who's getting accepted (or rejected). All I know is that I have been clicking refresh way too many times today.
As for NYFA, honestly, I'm getting a bad vibe, well weird vibe. Oddly, my vibes about everything are almost always right. Anyway, I heard from them almost daily right after I applied and now, after I forwarded the information to my Placement Officer it's been crickets. They are on rolling admissions and my last choice, so... I can wait to hear from them on the next step.
SCAD, ohhh SCAD. I have read mixed reviews about the school online but the reception I have gotten from them has been positive. It's my second choice, provided there's enough funding. Anyway this week I am working on my demo. I have to fill in approximately ten minutes. My only set back is that my Premiere files won't open on CS6 because of a codec issue. So, I have to start all over or re-install Premiere Pro, which won't happen.
I am excited...nervous...anxious...so many emotions. But, I am sending positive messages out to the universe in hopes that they are received and sent back with the same love.
Wait! There's More!
The title, though true to the moment, is also the soundtrack to the first storyboard and montage I made back during Sophomore year in High School. I remember everything about the project, even the classroom and how long I stayed up drawing.
