So I was accepted into AFI for screenwriting, which was the dream school, and am awaiting financials. Should I not get any scholarship, curious if anyone has taken out the loans and lived to tell? How are you feeling about it now?

Accepted for cinematography, and still waiting for scholarship now. I think they will let us know the result today.
