The "Why" to Grad School Options

)This post is in response to Megane's question. There is no use in my writing all of this in a comment back to her.) This was just a rough list to get me thinking about graduate school, after reading some of the programs I'm not so sure if I would apply to them.

1) U.NO.--They have a Fine Arts in Photography and also have this amazing fellowship. New Orleans is such a rich city with so much culture. It's nothing like being in New York, I think I would find a lot of inspiration in the atmosphere. I would love to get away and make work in New Orleans. I first visited the city after Hurricane Katrina as a relief volunteer, I've always wanted to go back.

2) M.I.C.A -- M.I.C.A has a graduate program to Photographic and Electronic Media, its more driven towards digital photographic techniques rather than traditional. I still love film and wouldn't want to not have the freedom to work in that medium, so this is I don't know.

3)PRATT-- Honestly I doubt I'd apply to PRATT, the application fee is $100.

4) C.I.A-- I chose a school in California because my mother is a military veteran and I can go to any public school for free before the age of 26. I don't know if this accepts it, but I will find out soon enough!

5) U.O.A -- They have a really big diversity recruiting which would work in my favor be it my gender and race. I would be interested in the School of Art, they have a Photography program.
