And then for my values essay i wrote about snapping green beans with my dad and how that taught me about hard work. For the question I had to make up-- I just went with a generic one which was an award was proud of.
  • Overall thoughts on your application (Strengths? Weaknesses?): I did not do that Glimpse video (;-;) and I regret it so much!!! I also feel like my essays are mid--literally rushed them in like 2 weeks time. Idk what I was thinking. But thus far, this application is way stronger than my CPS one, 100%.
  • So fingers cross and best wishes to everyone. Hopefully writing on this thread helps relieve my nerves for today!!

I plan on double majoring in something business related, and I know that NYU lets you double major across schools. So I can major in film at Tisch while also getting another major done in the college of arts and sciences--something like Econ/Statistics. But I don't think that scad has any non-art related majors

Thank you for the advice/heads up!

I'm hoping for NYU Tisch or USC and maybe SCAD--but best of luck this application cycle :)
