<p>This place is on project runway, haha.</p>
<p>Is it like a real, competitive college? Or not really?</p>
<p>....................74 views but no responses. oh well, i'll just assume this college is FAKE!</p>
<p>If you apply to the Parsons because of seeing it on project runway, you will most likely not survive at the school. I don't think you know much about art schools if you've only heard of Parsons on project runway and say that it's fake. I also don't recommend you appyling to the school just because of the show. Especially if you lack passion for art and design.
Parsons is one of top art schools in the country and worldwide. The school has a very rigorous curriculum for each major. For first year foundation, it is not just competitve to get in, but classes get very competitve between you and your classmates throughout the semester. The workload is very intense and you must be willing to put in the time to meet your deadlines. The school expects a lot from all of their students, and you must have the knowledge and passion for art and design to get accepted. I enjoy watching project runway, but it is a tv show, and nothing like art school or Parsons.</p>
<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>I was being sarcastic above.</p>
<p>Um yeah, I feel like a zombie almost everyday going to Parsons. lol too much work, and so demanding, and everything is competition , EVEN INTERNSHIPS (among your classmates) !! </p>
<p>I personally feel that it's not SUPPPERR hard to get in, but it's super hard to stay in once you're in. I see too many students dropping out or taking a break because they couldn't handle it. And being in NYC, at Parsons, with a crapload of pressure and competition thrown at you, if you're not self motivated enough then you won't survive.</p>
<p>Oh and if you're in fashion, there are cut offs. hehehehehe so many people cried and changed majors (if they can) or just dropped out because the profs would literally say it in your face how much your work sucks.</p>
<p>You say its not hard to get in?
Please tell me what was your SAT score, GPA, IB score (if you got one), how talented are you, how was portfolio?
HELP!</p>
<p>The most important thing is the portfolio, you have to show that you are able to draw exactly what you see.</p>
