Re: getting into the Media Arts department

Hey Mike! I can't speak directly to Media Arts, but I am on a scholarship from the English Department which I had to interview for. I don't know exactly how they chose the scholarship winners - I am guessing it is a mixture of many factors. Your academic record, test scores, experiences, etc...
