lol why the fuck would you want to go to LA?

i posted a helpful guide in community forum on how to get into college check it out.

also i can't speak for usc/ucla but is that 3.53 weighted or unweighted? also that's uh...quite a distance! any reason you want ucla/usc in particular?

well, i have this super strong powerful interest in animation. i've been looking up schools and stuff, and there's only one in my area that has a decent animation program, but it's a community college, and they focus mostly on 3D animation (i like traditional animation far more).

UCLA and USC apparently have pretty good animation programs from what i've heard.

my gpa is unweighted. apparently you can get in to both schools without the BEST gpa in the world but i heard it's pretty hard to (ie you have to be pretty incredible otherwise)

edit: and i mean my interest in animation isn't something that just happened two days ago or something. like i've actually been really into it and i really have a desire to learn more about it. and i've been making a few animations in the past few years. it's really something i enjoy and something that i want to pursue as a career.

go to an art school man, you'll be wasting your time at a state university if you know you definitely want to do animation

but yeah cali does have free tuition for instate students at the state universities (of which there are many) thats just tuition though, you gotta pay for room and board and shit

I just looked this up and Cali universities charge exorbitant "fees" and it is still cheaper to go to college anywhere else.  Tuition is still free though!
