If I end up going, I'll be entering the program with a heap of student loan debt from my last degree (we love the USAmerican education system! what a deal!). I wouldn't take any financial advice from me, a Taurus who loves spending money I don't have but can't stop because *it's in the stars*...
I feeeeeeeel you. Out of context, $10k is SO much money to me. But against $100k a year, woof. Grateful, yes, but also wondering how in the world I’m going to fund this. Does anyone have any more clarity on scholarships through the school? I was under the impression that there are a small...
Well, they’re consistent! 🤣 I’m chatting with Robert tomorrow about LA life bc I started looking at apartments (coming from Chicago) and am gonna have to sell a kidney to fund this thing. Still feels surreal. Are you gonna go to the fellows thing on the 2nd? Excited to meet everyone!!

One of my sample films was much stronger than the other, but I'm hoping my personal statement makes up the difference. Currently in the waiting period, so the process is pretty nerve-racking right now!
This application was fun and I appreciated the ability to include more samples of work. The academic paper was an interesting component and UT Austin is the only school I applied to that required that in their portfolio.
Oooh this is helpful info to know! One of the cons I’ve read about AFI is that their equipment/gear is not so great, especially considering how expensive and highly regarded the school is, and in comparison to other popular LA film schools. Am hoping to tour and check it out for myself if I get...
