Where should I apply?!

College Search & Selection

<p>Firstly, I'm going to be a senior and I'm screwed. Well, more like I think I'm behind in the whole process.</p>

<p>I want to go into art/design but preferably at a generic college, though I am open to any. Problem is: don't know where to start. </p>

<p>I prefer colleges with diversity. I don't mind about size really, but it'd be nice if it was somewhere that has friendly, intellectual people. I'm not into hardcore partying, though I don't mind if some exists. Preferably a college with a relatively nice campus, where the weather isn't too cold, and has a free environment. And of course, it must have a strong art/design department. </p>

<p>Stats
GPA: 4.9/6.0 (school has weird scale) somehow that ends up as a 3.9/4.0 according to my counselor(...?)
Rank: 15/approx. 375 = top 4%
SAT: 2030
CR: 680
M: 660
W: 690
EC: NHS (10-12) I'm putting 12th if I know I'm going to still be in it
Student Council (10-12)
Business Professional of America Secretary (10-12)
Science Club Promotions Manager (11-12)
German Club VP (10) [had to quit German because of schedule in 11th]
National German Honor Society (10)
I'll probably be in National Art Honor Society next year (running for president/school is new)
Not so much of volunteer but I'm gonna get as much as I can in. </p>

<p>As for awards, I've won quite a few, but they're usually just district level stuff. These are some of the bigger ones though.
Texas State VASE Art Competition - Gold Medalist two consecutive years (will enter next year too)
2nd Place Sam Johnson Congressional Art Contest
Placed at German state competition in multiple categories (two consecutive years)</p>

<p>I'm automatically admitted into UT Austin since I'm in the top 10% of my class, but are there any other reach, safety, and match schools? </p>

<p>Thank you guys!</p>

<p>Also go to<br>

and scroll down to

<p>where you can post this inquiry.</p>

<p>that way, you will be more likely to get an informed answer.</p>

<p>art/design at 'regular' schools? Temple's Tyler School of Art. We have a decent amount of Texans as well.</p>

4

<p>Some to possibly look at are Arizona State, SUNY Purchase (30 Minutes from NYC), USC and NC State. Syracuse also has a very strong art department. Best of luck!</p>

5

<p>Ah, but poi, doesn't Syracuse require 4 years of science? I only have 3...</p>

6

<p>It sure looks like they do. Sorry about that.</p>

7

<p>No it's my fault...lol I just didn't think I'd need it for my major.</p>

8

<p>you have very strong SAT scores, especially for someone who doesnt want to major in hard sciences/business. I'd suggest State schools, as they have more diversity than LACS, and you probably wouldnt want to waste your time at a place like HYPSM where everyone is hyperfocused on academics.</p>

<p>I see...thanks</p>
