does anyone have any idea of how successful SCAD's graduates with a fashion design major are? I applied to Parson's Design Management program because of its great reputation and got in...but I wasn't really feeling it after I visited, plus Parson's is ridiculously expensive, even with the Chase scholarship I got. however, I know that work experience and internships are important and there's no way I could get that in savannah or balance out a summer internship with a paying summer job at home in Chicago. For people on here who like to hate on SCAD, I'm aware of the crime rate and the higher acceptance rate, the lack of accreditation, and the faculty turnover. I visited and I just loved it because the facilities were clean, the students were happy/not zombies like at Parson's, and the displayed student work was on par with the student work. I'm not lazy either. I do really well academically and I have taken classes in fashion design at my high school and my local college. I am experienced with still life. However I feel a little shaky with my figure drawing because I still need magazine photographs to guide the proportion and shading of my figures. but like I said I'm not lazy, not a partier, and I'm willing to learn and take the initiative in order to do what I want to do. It's just that the "you have to go to Parsons or FIT in order to be successful" message is freaking me out a little.
