<p>If your stats are good enough for Yale, have you looked at RISD's dual program with Brown? I think you would be competitive for that as well if you're interested.</p>
<p>kiyuster, i just died. your stuff is so beautiful :)</p>
<p>Wow, thank you all so much. You guys give me too much credit, haha. I'm blushing. Realistically speaking, I'm not expecting to get into yale. It was a huuuuge reach to begin with, and I am only hoping my portfolio would give me a slight advantage....
How competitive is the Brown/RISD dual-degree program??</p>
<p>my general stats:
GPA: ~95% unweighted...97% weighted
SATs: 2230
SATIIs: ushistory 790, chinese 780, mathII 800
class rank: 14/~465</p>
<p>Oh, and I was just wondering...is it better to have charcoal/pencil studies in a portfolio or finished paintings (when said paintings are less "skilled" than sketches)?
My teacher told me colleges like to see black and white quickies :)</p>
<p>Gawd...
Your one and only disadvantage would be you'd be one of 100s other Asian applicants with similar stats and hook. What other EC have you done? Math? Music? Research? Or something really different?
If I had your stats already I would dig colleges’ faculty site deeeep and sniff out good artist/prof. to meet and show your work in person.</p>
<p>wow wow
apply to scholastic portfolio award!
deadline is what, Jan 12 or 16? Now!!!</p>

<p>As one data point, my daughter got into Yale with a resume similar to yours. Her art supplement consisted of four oils, six pencil drawings, three color conte crayon drawings and one 3-D work. Nothing too exciting in the subject matter (mostly figures and fairly simple still lifes). The drawings were pretty finished but the paintings were pretty quick. She tried to have some variety but focused mostly on the pieces she thought best represented her, especially her technique. </p>
<p>Your posted portfolio looks to my untutored eye like it would fit the bill very well (and your work is terrific!).</p>
<p>Here's mine</p>
<p>kiuyster - the Brown/RISD dual degree program is very competitive, but I think your stats are right in there....go for it!</p>
<p>Android - what major are you interested in?</p>
<p>I've only applied to FSU and USC's film schools so far, so I'm not even allowed to submit a portfolio! But if I could I would probably just submit my most recent film in its entirety, because it seems like being able to pull off a complete project would be more impressive than random clips from several projects. Heres a link:</p>
<p>Paired-</a> short cut on Vimeo</p>
<p>Anyway, I'll probably submit that in my portfolio to NYU film... if I apply- it would cost so much to go there. :(</p>
<p>^^^^ Lovely!</p>
<p>i thought yale didn't have an undergraduate art major?</p>
<p>My hearts in Graphic design, but also want to try motion graphics</p>
<p>you just dont apply directly to the yale art dept. for undergrad, i think</p>
<p>Spruce is right. You apply to Yale College, then second semester of sophomore year, you apply for admission into the Art major:</p>
<p>Art</a> | Programs of Study | Academic Information | Yale College | Class of 2012</p>
<p>Art</p>
<p>The program in Art offers courses in a variety of media and provides a background in visual arts as part of a liberal education and as preparation for graduate study and professional work.</p>
<p>Introductory courses address basic problems of visual formulation.Students who want to take an art course should attend the first course meeting. Demand is usually great for basic courses, and students should consider more than one section. In the fall and spring, the DUS will meet with students who need advice about course selection.</p>
<p>Students are admitted to the major in the spring term of their sophomore year after a sophomore review. Prospective majors present a portfolio of work from Yale studio art courses to a group of faculty and receive advice based on their course work and on the strengths and deficiencies of their portfolios.</p>
<p>Five introductory-level courses are required as prerequisites to the major, including ART 111a or b, Visual Thinking, and 114a or b, Basic Drawing. To be eligible for the sophomore review, students must have completed three of the prerequisite courses and should be enrolled in the remaining two.</p>
<p>Areas of study include painting/printmaking (including drawing), sculpture, graphic design, photography, and filmmaking. Acceleration credits are not available in art.</p>
<p>Junior Art majors concentrating in painting are eligible for a summer program in Norfolk, Connecticut. The Norfolk program awards up to four course credits.</p>

<p>if you go to FSU, you will be using my Aunt's house as a set :)
Almost all the film students use it, so even if you don't I'm sure you'll see it in everyone else's films haha. Cause of this, we have a "screening" every year where we watch all the films the students have made, and I'm always really impressed. Lots of talent at that school!</p>
