Wondering what peoples stats were for the Sam Fox School (GPA, ACT/SAT, EC’s) plus how strong your portfolio was. I’m very interested in applying, and already showing lots of demonstrated interest.
Thanks so much!
Hello! I just got accepted into Sam Fox a couple of days ago, and It was my top choice so I can’t wait to go. My gpa (there are no APs at my school, so no weighting) was 3.85 and my SAt was 1480. It’s hard to objectify the strength of my portfolio, but it featured drawings, sculptures, casual notebook sketches, and paintings. I filled all of the 20 (?) spaces possible. My ECs were the creative writing magazine at my school, various community stuff, and lots of art things. Not super varied, but ample in the places I care about. I worked hard on my sup essay—I can’t say how strong it was but I was proud of it. I didn’t show demonstrated interest until a couple weeks before decisions came out, when I wrote a letter to my admissions officer and said it was my top choice school. I hope that’s helpful? Best of luck to you! I’m so excited about this school.
Got in ED ! I had a 29 ACT ( 30,22,34,29) and a 3.7 W/UW GPA. I went to RISD pre-college and had a solo art show, along with outside of school classes, studio assisting jobs and leadership positions in clubs and 4 years on a varsity sport. I had no major awards, just small runner up spots. As for my portfolio, It was pretty strong, I had a meeting at WashU and they told me it was a very good. I also got a rec from an artist I work for whose daughter went there. I showed lots of interest and worked loads on my essays. I do not have the Stats to get in so it was more likely based on my portfolio/rec letters
