<p>Is there anything that I should add/ get rid of?</p>
<p>My dream school is notre dame :)</p>
<p>More Art would be helpful especially if you want to build up a portfolio. ND says they do not require it (per supplemental app), but a good portfolio never hurt anyone. My DD built up a portfolio for a number of schools (from safeties to outer space reach) and maybe one piece out of the twenty-odd was from her Architectural Drawing classes - especially if they use AutoCAD or Revit, which is what DD used. A few schools specifically said no CAD type stuff.</p>
<p>notre dame doesnt use computers at all. make sure your watercolor skills are up to par</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies! I have already taken two art classes in drawing so hopefully I’ll be able to build a strong portfolio.</p>
<p>Notre Dame does not use computer until 4th year. The first 3 years is all free hand and a lot of water color. CUA is correct – learn to water color.</p>
