Hey guys!
I am finishing my application for the directing MFA program in CalArts and I am having some difficulties finding the option of waiving my right to view the letter or not. I am wondering if CalArts offered that option or not? If yes, does anyone have any clues where the option is...Thanks for any kind of help!
