Hi Alex! I think you don't have to be worried about an US high school diploma or GED because I'm also an international student and I only have the highschool diploma from Germany (I also do't have this GED stuff). But you defintely should have good TOEFL test results!

Really :O So how could u send them the Letters of recommendation? did u give them the letters from art teachers in Germany? 

Hi, my name is Alex, 23 years old. I'm a new one in this forum.

I didn't apply to Calarts yet bcoz i've just been in US for 7 months and now i'm just getting some art classes and English class in community college. I'm an asian. When I was in my country, i was studying Animation in an Art university but didn't finish, and my country is so bad about animation so I decided to move to US. I fell in love with animation when the first time I saw the movies "Nightmare before Christmas" and "Angel and Idiot", so that why i want to be an animator.

I wonder if I apply to Calarts for Spring semester next year, and i didn't have GED or US high school diploma or even i didn't finish college, I have only the high school certificate in my country, so is that ok? Or i should get GED classes now? I don't know Calarts require it or not, so anyone know it, plz help me. I also worry about the tuition fee in Calarts, i wonder how students in this school can pay for it, when FA is not enough :(

Nice to meet u guys, I hope I can get the accepted letter for next year, can't wait to meet many artists in this school :D

Hi, this is the first time I know about this forum, so excited ;D I'm currently a student learning illustrator major at College and I have a plan to apply to Calarts for Fall 2013 semester in Character Animation major. This school was my first choice since I've looked some information on internet.

But like almost people want to get into this school, I'm really confused about the tuition fee. I've just moved to US for 2 years, thus I'm freaking poor now. I didn't get any job yet. I wonder anyone who already attended Calarts know about scholarships? How can we apply scholarships and how does it pay? And also would you guys mind tell me about student loans too? I didn't borrow student loans before so I don't know how much is maximum for loans? 

Thanks u guys for helping. :D
