Art School admission 2018

I just wanted to say to all the parents on this forum that I think it’s so cool you guys are so involved and so supportive of your children going to art school. My parents are pretty supportive, but it did take convincing. Others aren’t as lucky, so it’s refreshing to see so many parents helping out and being so knowledgable about the art school admissions process. Kudos to you all :slight_smile:

@clalaore Yes, she heard back on Friday. But she had also applied in the first half of October.

And @clalaore, this was via an email from the assistant director of international admissions (my D is an international student).

DS was accepted to University of Hartford who has a pretty great art school. Anyone here apply or heard of them? He received a large art merit for his portfolio and we are considering. He applied ED to an LAC with a strong art program, Trinity College, but was deferred. So now we are back on to strong art programs. Looking at Temple and Drexel. Any other suggestions?

@magnetnh how about MICA, PRATT, SVA, MCAD, CIA?

D just got accepted to Pratt. But no mention of any scholarship in the email. Do i expect to find something in the acceptance package? Thank you

Pratt said YES here as well…D very happy!!
No word on $.
Congrats @winterbeauty !!

@magnetnh
My younger D looking at Hartt for musical theatre. Did a summer intensive there last year. Lovely campus. Dk about their art facilities. Senior D looking at animation…I don’t think Hartt offered?

Ahhh got my acceptance to Pratt!! Floating on a cloud atm! Congrats to @winterbeauty @NYart15 as well! Did either of you receive a physical letter? I got an email saying congratulations and that the acceptance packet would be received in the next few weeks.

Only email. Waiting for package…

@NYCMomof3 Thanks for the suggestion on schools. He wants colleges or universities with strong art departments.

Just email here as well
