@Mamelot I was unaware of NASAD and when colleges actually review application portfolios. As for CSU’s, I went to a college fair and Long Beach and Dominguez said they need a portfolio. CSULA does not, so I declared that my safety in case my art fails me. I am unsure of CSUF’s policy so I will research that. I will be sure to check out the other threads and follow your suggestions. Thank you very much for your insight.
