<p>Note - don’t let the above distract you from getting your local apps in. It is always hard to predict with Michign how much need-based aid is available for OOS students. However, I picked that curriculum for you based on the filmic/score orientation of some of your YouTube pieces PLUS the clear sense of imagery you selected to accompany them. This “design eye/expression” phenom is something they complimented my son on (he’d included some film, video and photography in his portfolio, even though his emphasis was composition.) they had also complimented him on the breadth of his compositions in terms of style.</p>
<p>But if you don’t have time to apply, get you local options nailed, and then explore. You could always take a gap year and work for your family to save up if you’re not 100% certain of wanting to proceed with this year’s options/acceptances/financial offers, and explore other programs in the meantime life is a marathon, not a sprint! It just feels like a sprint right now ;)</p>
