<p>The problem is, is that SCAD is NOT considered highly accredited. They do have some regional accreditation, but they do not even have NASAD accreditation. Compare their accreditations with those of the schools listed by marsh. You will see the difference.</p>
<p>Many asian parents (I am not one,but know a number of them), plan on their children becoming lawyers, doctors, and engineers. Often, they will consider no other options.</p>
<p>I know SCAD is your school of choice, but since they are being stubborn, what if you applied to a LAC or University that has a good art program? I don’t know what schools teach VFX, but perhaps that will be more palatable, especially if you could get some scholarship and merit money.</p>
