I don't know where to go... SVA or UCF (or Ringling) for animation? Help!

UCF is going to have requirements for a university degree (core classes, or specific major) It is not unusual for a program to require 2 years of general ed and have everyone apply to the specific major as juniors. Some universities do that for engineering, journalism, theater. Only you can decide if that’s the experience you want, but at least there is a chance that you’ll get into the program you want. That chance isn’t there at Ringling, and I think if you honestly look at the NY program, you’ll realize you do not have enough money.

If you have Bright Futures, you have to start using it within 2 years of graduating from high school. Tick tock. You’ll also get a Florida grant for $3000 for attending a private school if you pick Ringling. If you have any local scholarships, you should be able to use them at either Ringling or UCF.

I really think you need to pick with your wallet and not keep looking for the perfect program.
