finally got my letter today and it was good news! yay : )
and kaiwu, it makes sense that they'd do that - more tuition in these shitty economic times and all
on another note, MIT admissions came out today 3/14 at 1:59 pm... 3.14159 hahaha happy pi day!

yeah, it seems unfair, especially since i remember reading somewhere a while ago that a lot of the money goes to the deans for their private use (but i'm not so sure how reputable that source was). but you gotta do what you gotta do.
...by which i mean, i wonder if any valencia bars are hiring strippers?

You guys, they accepted more last year-so I doubt they're excepting a shit load of people this year. There's about 30 seniors that are graduating. They can't really take more than that. There's really like no room for that.
I heard a dirty rumor about there being 80 kids accepted and I just wanna say that's pretty much impossible because there's like 80 kids in first and second year animation. To have an 80 kid freshman year would be pretty much impossible. Not to mention that teachers would quit. My storyboard teacher, Chong, isn't teaching next year because of class size. He's extra good . there's a ton of teachers that wouldn't put up with large class sizes. 80 kids is pretty much redonk because we have 45 now and that seems to be a problem.
Something you'll hear once you get here is that a lot of people complain about cal arts and it's always been that way. There's a lot of negative things and there's a lot of positive thing. However, to me, the positives out weigh the negatives. In reality, you get what you put into the school. If you make an effort to talk to your teachers, they'll talk to you.
I WOULD like to mention, and this is a big deal, you don't actually learn anything about animation your first year. Your animation class is sorta like csssa. He shows clips and gives you a pep talk to inspire you.

i think the reason so many people from thsi site have been accepted is because its such a helpful resource. since everyone on this site helps each other out everyone knos wut to aim for in terms of criteria. alot of people make portfolios that are too traditional and get rejected before they find this site. if it wasnt for this forum i think alot of ppl wouldnt kno exactly wut calarts wants. but i dunno im just guessing thats the reason

Aaaah, so much work to do tonight and tomorrow. I'm going to get up early in the morning to work on the new changes for you guys.
Dude, Chris, I am so sorry you didn't get in. I really wanted to have you both, but I guess you'll end up in the same place eventually. Haha, we'll be your guinea pigs for the year coming ahead so we give you all of the inside experience and info and you end up being more successful than us by experiencing our year second-hand.
If I get in. If I don't, I'll join your ranks and we'll manipulate the hell out of Kyle to give us info.

At one point of time or another, we all face a similar problem or obstacle. The main difference is how we face each ordeal and react to it from future memory, whether the experience be joyous or hurtful.
