<p>OTIS is my dream school. I want to possibly double major in Illustration and Graphic Design or major in either one and learn the other on the side.</p>
<p>I'm only planning on applying to three schools since I want to stay in California: OTIS, LCAD, and CCA.</p>
<p>My current info:</p>
<p>Current GPA: 3.4
Total GPA 10-12 grades (weighted): 3.6
SAT: 1950
Extracurricular activities: none, although I did theatre production management my junior year (if that counts for anything)</p>
<p>I work pretty slow so I really need to finish my portfolio. I did, however, go to National Portfolio Day this weekend.</p>
<p>I didn't have enough time to visit LCAD, but CCA really liked my work (even if some of it was unfinished). The representative said I just needed to apply and she'd have me down for Merit scholarship.</p>
<p>I went to CalArts by accident. The representative told me my art was good, but he needed to see more graphic design work.</p>
<p>When I went to OTIS, the representative said the following:
-great sense of color
-skillful
-likes that I tell stories through my work
She seemed to like my scratchboard piece.
But she told me to include more life drawing and that maybe I needed to work smaller because my unfinished pieces are with time-consuming mediums. She said I needed more work.</p>
<p>I'm really nervous right now. </p>
<p>I have two oil pastel still lifes, one graphite still life, one charcoal still life, one scratchboard, two oil paintings (WIPs), one color pencil piece (WIP), one ink piece, one gouache self-portrait. I'm planning on taking one or two photos, doing a life drawing, and a collage.</p>
<p>I realize it would help to show my portfolio, but I'm far too paranoid to do that.</p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
