Film freshman answering any questions! :)

<p>@Idreamofscreen Yes those are yours. From what I can remember and from what I can tell from my own financial aid statement, there’s a button to “Accept/Decline Awards.” That’s all I can figure out… Definitely give the financial aid office a call if you’re still having trouble.</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but I think that scholarship is based off need. I don’t think Tisch offers talent-based scholarships through their financial aid packages. All merit and talent scholarships are through separate applications, I believe. Usually each award has a name and you can usually tell why you’re getting it based off the name. I know there’s a general Tisch scholarship where we each get a couple thousand just for being in Tisch - a lady in the Tisch financial aid office told me this. But I know that’s not what you’re referring to, haha.</p>

<p>I don’t know why there would be loans on there that aren’t yours. I’m pretty sure they are all yours. Like I said, call the financial aid office and they’ll be able to provide you with a better answer than me. :slight_smile: Financial aid is a big deal, and I don’t want to lead you astray!</p>

<p>You and me both. I was completely surprised that I was admitted. My grades are decent, but not top notch. And I’m not an experienced filmmaker. But I really enjoy writing and absolutely love television, and I think Tisch saw that. Clearly Tisch saw something in you, too. Don’t spend too much time questioning it - Tisch factors in academics and creativity, so you’re more than your GPA and test scores! I’m sure your portfolio was amazing. If you got into Tisch, don’t doubt yourself. :slight_smile: Congratulations!</p>
