How much should I stress over art portfolios?

@YoHoYoHo I will definitely check out ascid. I’ve researched Chapman and CSUN. I am not entirely sure if I want to apply to Chapman, CSUN, and CSUF because of how far away they are. I am not allowed to get dorms and I would not like to be stuck in traffic for half of the day. That’s why I am sticking to the Los Angeles region. Although, I know the traffic is inevitable. Unfortunately, LCAD is also too far from home. As of now, LMU and Otis are my top schools. Their programs are appealing and they are only about 15 minutes away from me.

@Mamelot I will look at the AICAD website as well.

Thank you both for your advice. I will spend all of August continuing to research the universities and portfolio/related programs.
