<p>I am also asian but I'm praying that isn't a death sentence...
I'm mostly applying to the upper liberal arts schools with some safeties. I guess some other reach schools (imo) i'm applying to are Williams, Dartmouth, Vassar, UCLA, and UC Berkeley.
My SAT score is really weak, yes... </p>

<p>My art portfolio isn't complete yet but I'd be willing to show a few pieces if anyone asks? Waiting for my art teacher to get out of the hospital before finalizing, haha... </p>

<p>But if it wasn't very clear already I'm aiming to double major in humanities/visual arts-design! </p>

<p>Anyways, not sure if I'm forgetting anything, but have at it! Appreciate any advice or suggestions! And if you don't think it's too late, suggestions of schools you think I'd be better off in are cool too.</p>

<p>well I found two art pieces on my computer if anyone wishes to see for the RISD part. Would sending art samples to Brown be worth anything? Not sure. Hm. Not entirely representative of how I draw but I think they’re alright, and hopefully the links work!</p>
