Yo! I haven’t been finding much success asking my questions elsewhere, so I decided to take it here. I don’t know why I didn’t do that in the first place, but hey you live and you learn.
I’m wondering what laptop experience y’all have! What models and specs got you through the program just fine?
I’m also wondering for my portfolio, what deserves the biggest focus? Right now I’m working on figure drawing, anatomy, values and thinking about going into landscape and storyboarding. I’m wondering what art you had in your portfolios that got you in though. What’s the most important thing I should prioritize?
I’m going through various 3-D and Maya programs to teach me the software, but I’m also thinking about focusing on 2-D animation so I can understand the fundamentals better than I currently do. I mainly just fishing for tips here. I want to know what got you in and what’s got you through.

For context, I’ll be a freshman, and I’ve declared Pre- animation.

I took the SAT last year in the spring and was unsatisfied with my score of 1360. I set a date to retake the SAT to get (hopefully) up to a 1460. The day I am retaking the SAT is August 22nd, and the scores for that likely won't be back until around September 4th. The early admission priority window opens on August 26th. Do I prioritize turning my application in immediately as soon as that window opens, or should I wait a while and see what my SAT result will be when it gets back? I've heard a great deal about the importance of hitting that early application window, but I was wondering if turning it in as soon as that window opens really is more beneficial than waiting a while into the window to (hopefully) secure a higher SAT score.

I cant find any info on whether the student health plan covers dental and Im dealing with some pretty bad pain right now. Any thoughts on what I can do without having to sell my kidneys to pay for it?

Hey!
I am technically required to live in on campus or byu contracted housing for one more semester but everything in my price range has been filled already and byu never contacted me about when to apply for on campus housing so I'm still on that waitlist. I'm thinking of just living off campus but im not sure what the consequence to that will be, does anyone have any experience with this?

Is the Utah County Married Housing Facebook group still the best way to list a place for rent? How are married students finding housing these days? Thanks 🙏🏻

I’m going in as a freshman this fall and am unsure of what laptop to get. I am between a MacBook or HP Omnibook. I would love some advice or input. I will be pre nursing but want something that will last through nursing school and hopefully after that.
