Phew - I was accepted into The Ohio State University Design Department, in the visual communications major. I've been attending Ohio State for two years now, but to begin the core design curriculum you must be accepted into the design department. They had 66 applicants to VC this year and 18 were accepted.

The entrance exam consisted of a 5 week long project which included problem statements, essays, and a portfolio. You are only allowed applying twice, so this was my last shot...and damn am I excited that I got in. Now it's time to buckle down and crank out some amazing design work over the next few years.

Phase one of "The Dream" (TM) complete!
