Facing the Future

So either Natalie is a much more promising student than I was, or colleges have seriously upped their advertising budgets in the last 20 years.  Just about every day, our mail contains solicitations from colleges all over the nation asking Natalie to check them out.   From simple letters and postcards to multiple mailings, emails, and full color personalized brochures, I've been kind of amazed at what schools must be spending to pull in applications.  But despite all the fancy adverting, (We have especially liked the creativity of the ads from the University of Chicago.) Natalie only has eyes for one school--BYU.  Or, more specifically, BYU's animation program.

In just a few weeks, BYU will release their application for the Fall 2014 semester.  Natalie has worked so hard the last few years to be a viable candidate for admission.  It's going to be a very long, very stressful few months waiting to hear back!
