Hello! I'm Alex and I'm also going to to CalArts straight from High School. I was accepted into the Experimental Animation program. I decided to go for Experimental because it's less linear than Character and I love messing around with different mediums, but I'm still aiming for feature length movies sometime in the future. I can't wait to have someone teach me animation instead of me teaching myself all the time.

Right now I'm just working on a film for high school. The problem is that's its due in a couple weeks and I haven't even started it yet. Yeah...

I actually got the email on March 1st, but the site said it updated on February 28th. It must be hard to still be waiting; I remember getting the email and waiting forever to open it because I thought I would be rejected.

Hello there!

 

I also just found out about this thread and hope it's not to late to join.

 

I applied for Experimental Animation and just received my acceptance letter! There seems to be a lot more people applying for Character than Experimental on here. But that's okay.

 

Now I just have to worry about how I'll pay for it. Haha.
