<p>Consider NYU a safety. Brown and Chicago can be attained, but I’m sure you know how selective they are and how unpredictable they can be. Apply early to one of them though- you don’t need to for NYU.</p>

<p>Also, you’re in for Pratt and SAIC. </p>

<p>Since you’re grades are good, have you ever considered Cooper Union? THAT’S what one would consider a prestigious art school. Just sayin’… good luck!</p>

<p>I just looked up Cooper Union… I’d never even heard of it before. Seems like an awesome school with good views. I’ll look into it further… thanks!!</p>

<p>bump, i’ll chance back!</p>

<p>Your GPA is amazing (jealous… lol) but I would recommend retaking the SAT. From what I know, most top schools like to see 2250+</p>

7

<p>Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I didn’t know what to even expect going into the test… my school doesn’t even mention that the SAT exists because they only talk about UW schools. It’s a little frustrating. I didn’t even know that SAT Subject Tests existed, and recently found out while doing research that Brown requires 2 subject tests to be submitted with the SAT… something my counselor failed to include in my junior meeting when we talked about the application process. So, I will be taking subject tests in fall, and hopefully retaking the SAT as well, if I can fit it in. Otherwise, I will just retake SAT and have my ACT score sent as well, as my SAT score is currently the equivalent to my current ACT score. </p>

<p>Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but I will have 300+ community service hours upon graduation, as well. No formal work experience as of now, though. I do art to make money… not sure how I would put that on the app. Or job applications for that matter.</p>

<p>Can’t bump mine, but here’s my thread…</p>
