I thought it might be useful to start a thread for people trying to decide where to go now...
Personally, I'm having a hard time deciding between Columbia vs. USC. I'm definitely someone that values storytelling and writing more than access to great equipment (I know that, according to online information, Columbia is more writing-focused and USC much less so). With that being said, however, I worry that Columbia is so not production-focused that I might not get enough production experience and a well-considered portfolio. I also worry that Columbia doesn't have that much alumni connections and resources according to some of the alumni interviews. On the other hand, does USC really have much less emphasis on writing when compared to Columbia? ... I appreciate any kind of feedback or suggestions, whether related or not related to my questions!!
