Also known as Mass Communications branch of VCU's graduate program in Richmond, Ad Center provides 60 weeks of intensive, real-world education for future advertising professionals (http://adcenter.vcu.edu). Incidentally, it was rated #1 ad school in Creative Magazine, and also the only program that I had applied for--completion of the application cost worthwhile 4 months of forsaking all but 3 hours of sleep each day.
In exchange for going broke, I will:
- have an irresistible portfolio
- be better educated to succeed in the competitive world of advertising
- have extensive industry contacts
- have had the guidance of amazing instructors
- have befriended equally talented and passionate classmates
- have known why sleep-deprivation is an effective method of torture
