So those of you who have ever held a conversation with me about my future school plans know that I am transfering to Western in a year, but what then? Well my plan then is to transfer to DePaul University in Chicago and start working on my MFA right away.
(1: So I can be closer to my brother and his family, 2: So I won't have to wait until after I've paid my current student loans and then begin receiving more aid to begin graduate school, and 3: Because they have an unbelievable graduate MFA directing program)
BUT what you probably don't know, unless we have held the in-depth conversation, is that I would LOVE to get my MFA at Yale University..yes YALE! They are the best of the best, and three times better than that. The cost is about 47,000 a year, and 30,000 not including housing and such. Yea, that's alot of cheeeeeese. Sometimes I sit back and I think I really am that passionate about directing. I am willing to sacrifice that much student debt for my education. But every time I look at those figures I think that's CRAZY. Even given student aid, work study and loans, I would never be able to afford it. And then I think on how CRAZY I would look to people in family for even considering that much money for a degree that involves theatre. What about scholarships people say..Ok maybe for the DeNiro's and the Pitt's out there, but not for the Jared Sloan's of the world...I mean you would have to be able to cry, laugh, HELL break out into HIVES on the spot to get a scholarship for Yale University. My blood pressure shot up just look ing the tuition cost for Yale University. So although DePaul is not cheap by any means it looks like my dreams of Yale will have to continue being dreams....
