I was just curious..I'm applying to cooper union early decision for art and just got the home test, which seems really difficult. I think I have a pretty strong portfolio, at national portfolio day, my portfolio was accepted to SAIC, art institute of boston, and memphis and i got really positive feedback from practically every school I was reviewed at too.

when i went to cooper union's open house for a portfolio review the guy seemed pretty interested in my work and told me to do well on the home test. i was wondering what my chances would be for getting in...
and also are they looking for creativity or skill more in the home test?

yeah i've seen the hometest for this year and it seems pretty challenging.. i think they're looking for creativity and your thinking skills rather than your skills.. they look for new and fresh ideas .
i've seen a work from a friend who got into cooper union and
her hometest self portrait looked like something that little elementary kid drew.. but it was something that no one would have thought of..

they're giving you more time than the regular dec kids
so i think they're expecting something beyond the standard..

but don't worry just remember to express yourself
