@Racin: Oh god that’s embarrassing. I think it’s improved some since then, since the typical SCS candidate now has a little more leadership experience than “I sit in my closet and write operating systems lol.”

@Lake: Depending on where you come from, the winters either suck hard or aren’t that bad. I’m from california, so the winters suck hard. We got a ton of snow this winter but apparently that’s very rare for Pittsburgh and usually we don’t get more than 3-5 inches of snow at a time, and only for a couple months.

@applebee: The fine arts program is pretty serious, and according to the director it’s a lot more conceptually based than technically. They want to see that you can put meaning, creativity and ingenuity behind your art rather than just have the technical skills mastered.
