<p>Yes, that’s good idea. Son got his digital arts app in early (mid-October) for the November deadline, but we had conflicting info about whether digital arts/anim apps were due then, or only Film Prod.
Last comment I’ll make about the Q of debt versus prestige/connections: We struggled with exactly this, last year. There are stories in this forum about kids who graduated from public U’s and lesser known programs with no debt and who found success (check out Digmedia’s posts about his son, for ex, if you haven’t already). There are also alumni from the most prestigious and connected schools who are unemployed or unsuccessful in finding jobs in the industry. A talented, determined, hard-working kid can excel in a lesser program and beyond; the higher cost schools offer no guarantee of success. This makes it all quite challenging when it comes time to help our kids make an informed, sensible decision, of course. </p>
<p>Ok, now I’m outa here (off to ride my horse on a special day off). :)</p>
