I've applied to schools with a photography portfolio, as well.

here's where I've applied:
SAIC
MICA
Parsons (& Eugene Lang)
Pratt
SMFA

I've been accepted to SAIC and MICA, so far. both of my parents went to museum school (SMFA) and they and their friends have been telling me that SAIC, MICA, and Pratt are some of the best schools for photography (especially SAIC). my mom's friend's boyfriend teaches photo at SAIC. that's all I really know. hah I need to start visiting these schools.

I also really love Parsons b/c of its direct-entry photo program, and b/c of its connection with Eugene Lang. I applied to the BA/BFA dual degree program between Parsons and Lang. I really want an art school with academics, so Parsons and MICA are my tops rights now.

I would have applied to SVA, but they don't have many academics. I did a summer program at SVA and I loved it there! I've been told that they have some of the best photography facilities out of all of the schools that I've mentioned. SVA is pretty. Pratt is also pretty, but SVA has newer facilities. I've heard that Parsons has ****ty darkrooms, but nice digital facilities. is this true??
