<p>Hi I'm new to this site. I come from a small town on Long Island where everyone is sheltered from reality so I don't really have a good concept for the level of schools I should be applying to. My guidance counselor is always just saying "Just go for it", which doesn't help me. And most of my teachers are too nice to honestly tell me my chances. Thus, I have arrived here.</p>

<p>Portfolio:
Its coming along. Not as good as it could be. I intend on doing a lot this summer. A lot of the assignments given in class are very 1 dimensional so I am hoping that I can become more artistic outside of class. Concentration is still undecided. Thinking about doing different interpretations of the journeys that life takes you on. Seems kinda cliche though so I am waiting for more inspiration.
A couple of my things from my breadth

<p>Recommendations:
I have one coming from my Art Teacher, Math Teacher, Science Teacher (?), and Assistant Principal.</p>
<p>Strengths: Math, Art, Science
Weaknesses: English, SATs, Standarized tests in general, upper middle class</p>
<p>My Dream Colleges Would be Cooper Union or Cornell. I think those are very high reaches though. Also looking into Carnegie Mellon, Northeastern, and RISD. I have had a slow start on the college search. Any ideas? I am looking to stay in the Northeast.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
