<p>Really good RECs including one from painting professor at Centre College. </p>

<p>And most importantly, an excellent portfolio, praised at National Portfolio Day by colleges as well as professors at various other colleges. It got a 5 on the AP Studio Art exam–and I’m going to school for Art, so this is a huge part of my application. I did Studio Art my Junior year, and so I still have a couple months to refine my portfolio for portfolio day in the fall. MICA gave me their highest rating and said my portfolio was scholarship competitive. </p>

<p>The schools I am applying to are as follows, in descending order of how much I want to go to each:</p>

<li>Washington University in St. Louis: School of Art</li>
<li>Skidmore</li>
<li>NYU: Gallatin or Steinhardt</li>
<li>Grinnell</li>
<li>MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art)</li>
<li>Macalester</li>
<li>SUNY Purchase</li>
</ol>

<p>How would you rate my chances at the above schools?</p>

<p>why not shoot higher? i think ur in at all the schools like 66%+ at all... that said, why not go for columbia or brown... they have amazing art programs</p>

3

<p>I guess you have a valid point, but I also need money, and at somewhere like Columbia or Brown I think I am far less likely to get what I need to be able to go.</p>

<p>one, two, bump</p>

5

<p>Agree with others might want to look at some other schools like Duke as a reach. Also if interested in Latin/classics might want to look at Holy Cross which offers merit scholarships in the classics.</p>

<p>hah, latin is long gone after it hopefully helps me get into college, but thanks for the suggestion</p>

<p>all that bull about it not being a dead language, cmon, i mean seriously.</p>

<p>Skidmore looks like a good school for you. I recommend you visit the College, which you will find can satiate your well-rounded background.</p>

<p>Similarly, I suggest you pay a visit to St. Louis to gauge the vibe you get.</p>

<p>I've visited both an dreally like both skidmore and wash u, im putting wash u as my top choice because of stronger academics and newer facilities, although skidmore was pretty top notch too</p>
