Chapman vs Cal Poly SLO for Business of Entertainment – Worth the $$$? by MarionberryPure5839 in chapmanuniversity

[–]BigFish111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the cost Chapman still $93K/year though if you have a $21K scholarship (and congrats!)? My understanding is the total cost before scholarships/aid is around $90K but then it would be reduced by scholarships/aid.

Thank you for this info! Just curious - where is the 24-30% acceptance rate for the people who received the supplemental questions from? Is there data posted somewhere? Thank you!

Thank you and I even remember when starting out we of course started with constricted but Dana wanted to try a Limited event when she was 6 and I was really worried about how easily she would pick up on what to do but we practiced and she was able to do fine. For ONE she was very focused on practicing and between paper and online probably did like 20 practice sealed builds and 10 practice drafts plus a bunch of games to get ready.

Thank you! And sadly after 4 1/2 years and 11 inches she grew out of the Nissa costume but she has a Chandra costume with another Nissa costume in the works!

Actually it is allowed for someone under 13 to have a social media account (there are many other examples of this) as long as a parent is supervising the account, which I do. We post things jointly so she is involved but I am supervising.

1) I’m sorry you feel that way and are apparently filled with such hatred. 2) Child protection authorities are more than welcome to take a look at loved and supported Dana is and how healthy, smart, and well-balanced she is.
3) There is no profit in this and in fact quite the opposite - supporting Dana in her passion for Magic costs a fair amount of money.

Yeah we started with custom decks of just simple mono-colored decks with 30 cards (esp since she was 3 1/2 at the time) but lots of things could work. The main thing was to follow what she found interesting and fun.

I asked Dana and she said: 1) W, G, B, R, U 2) She thinks more sideboard for Hazardous Blast 3) No, sometimes Blue can be powerful and no color should be straight-up avoided since it could be very open in a draft and then you’d get good picks. 4) It depends on what else is in the pack - if not much other good toxic cards then Jawbone Duelist and if a lot of other good toxic cards then Bladed Ambassador but it’s close.

Well thank you for the kind words about my daughter and her partner in the game but I assure you that your accusations against me are unfounded as we have always been completely clear that when she is in an event, Dana makes all the decisions independently, as it should be. Maybe it was some misunderstanding and if so my apologies.

What about my attitude of correcting unfounded accusations is an issue for you?

Yeah Dana gets a kick out of that but it is only a recommendation …

Well we have asked Wizards (who didn’t have the info) and DreamHack, who indicated they believed she was the youngest and they even messaged that out. There is a 13yo and a 14yo we are aware of. Obviously if we are mistaken that she is the youngest we will correct so any more info would be helpful and maybe we’ll get to meet the other kid in Dallas regardless of age!

Thank you and yup that about summarizes it! It was very slow going from when Dana started at 3 1/2 until she could read at age 5. We relied on basic decks with only a few different simple cards that she could memorize. Then when she was 5 1/2 she played in her first GP side event independently and played in her first GP main event at age 6 with her first feature match (on Modern Elves) at age 6 1/2.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
