I’m in a simular situation. I got into SVA, SMFA, MICA, AIB, & SAIC. Waiting to hear from Parsons, Cooper Union, and Sarah Lawrence (my one non-arts school). But I think it is going to mostly come down to MICA, SMFA, and SAIC. Got a merit (too!) from SAIC (same amt). A friend of mine did precollege there, loved it, and is now going. But I didnt “vibe” with it when I went to an open house. The area was great, but it kind of rubbed me the wrong way, especially some of the faculty. But that just me. I really loved SVA, but they dont have alot of money so…might have to put that on hold until grad school or something. I haven’t seen SMFA. & well I’m from MD so MICA is kinda always around. The art sence in Baltimore isn’t huge, but it IS here and is really making an impact. & Artscape is HUGE, and thats a great opp. to get exposure. & theres this area were there used to be a bunch of abandoned mills that are now galleries & its pretty school. In my opinion its easier to get established here, and go somehwere else (if you want).

But anyway…I’m trying to decide too…ugh!

What do you plan on majoring in? Maybe that will help you decide…I’m planning on photo (which MICA isn’t known for, but I digress)
