<p>Academically, you should have no problem with these schools. However, for RISD and MICA, you also need a strong portfolio.</p>

3

<p>Mm, I agree with TaxGuy. You should get into MICA & MassArt. RISD may be a reach.</p>

<p>RISD is definitely a reach.
MICA might be a target.
the last one is the strongest.
all the other pieces aren't as strong. you might want to go back and redevelop some of them. I would suggest you attend some studio session at a local community college to make a couple more drawings to add to your portfolio for RISD.</p>

<p>Massart may see a rise in applicants this year - due to the economy right now - people in Massachusetts and New England may view it as an opportunity to attend a great school without going broke
As a matter of fact - I heard the president of the college say at a recent event that they are anticipating more applicants this year - so the competition may be greater than ever</p>
