Yeah I imagine so.

I do feel like it's a little skeevy of them to send you the acceptance letter, ask for a $1,000 deposit, but not give you any financial aid information right away.

Agree! I kind of feel like I’m in limbo lol.

Well you would have found out 2 days after the acceptance if you got any awards... otherwise, from my understanding, they'll recommend you taking out 70,000 a year.

Edit: Though I guess it could be possible you would be denied financial aid from the gov.'t? Not sure about that one...

Yeah, I’m on a waitlist for awards. They told me yesterday. ?

Dang that's frustrating. That would feel like limbo.

That’s exactly what it feels like lol. I’ve already come to terms with the loans. But having a scholarship or fellowship to offset that some would be great lol.

Basically the entire United States higher education system is built on a shaky foundation of loans and financial aid, that's how we've created this "bubble" that continues to grow, so I doubt the government would deny a combination of aid/loans

Eventually as college gets more expensive and more defaulted loans... that bubble will pop. ?

Let's hope it does so true action is spurred to fix it. It's so jacked up in its current state.

@kid_a2 are you on the facebook group yet? I assume not because they have a poll of what emphasis everyone is in and I'm the only cinematography one and there's none yet in the directing.

No, I have read about its existence here but it seemed people were having trouble accessing it. I never received any sort of email/notification that the others have gotten with the invitation either. ?

I was curious about it too. Hadn’t received anything about it either.

Yeah it was a HASSLE to get into. There's only 19 in there currently and about 5 are admission/current students. Be nice if it was easier to join...

Seems like it would almost be easier to make our own private group lol

Yeah I've tried everything and still haven't been able to join it :/ I don't need it for housing but it would still be nice to be in it lol
