I recently submitted my portfolio to the graphic design program at Cal Poly SLO. My grades aren’t very good so I was somewhat surprised when I was invited to submit my portfolio. I wanted to know if someone is in that program and knew how competitive it is.
This is from the Cal Poly Art & Design website:
