<p>Hey everyone. I have been attending a fine arts school in NYC since the 8th grade. I have been part of the Art and Design school on campus, and have majored in 'Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandsing'. I have done that for 8 years! I have decided I want a career in designing, so if you would, please tell me my chances, and/or recomend some schools for me. Even though it was a 'fine arts' school, academics were tough and challanging, and played a major part in being accepted and staying for following years. By the way, this is for next year.</p>

<p>Hey there!
Wow- your extra cirriculars look very nice, especially for a fashion or art school. But at the same time, that Italian gave you a boost for NYU. You've won lots of academic type awards- congrats- and those look great too! Your classes, seem fine, except the whole British deal..whats up with that? They speak English, with a little funky twist, but still...if its required, there is nothing you can do about that, but I'd let those schools know that, so it doesn't look like a 'slackers' class. 1400, on the practice run!!!!?????!!!! No way!! Thats amazing, if you take some more prep or something, I can pretty much see you securing a 1500 senior year. I think you will get into SCAD, and UCLA, might be a little reach, because your out of state, but I still think you have a great shot at that one. NYU, is a reach, but I don't see why you can't make it, especially being instate. Um- try some other 'art' colleges, that are primarly the arts, you'll have a great shot at those, other than that good luck! And, keep it up!!</p>
