<p>Thanks, P-King and Digmedia. </p>
<p>I want to clarify what I said in post #8: I meant no disparagement of USC and my phrasing was unclear. DS loves the School of Cinema Arts, but we did not receive a viable FA package, so it’s “too expensive” for <em>us</em> (we don’t want any loans and are debt-averse). Chapman gave DS a great scholarship, so Dodge is affordable. In the absence of any scholarships, the price of the two schools is comparable. The advice we received from this producer was in the context of “Loans for USC SCA” vs. “no loans/big merit aid at Chapman.” In that context, he said both schools are great, so if there is a cost difference, “definitely go to Dodge.” Looking back at my post today I did not make that sufficiently clear.</p>
