<p>Furry - Getting a portfolio together at this point is doable with the right support but your daughter will also have to want to take hold of the idea and use any free time she has to focus on it. If you can attend a National Portfolio day in your area this fall, she would be able to talk to admissions folks from the different art schools and get some feedback on what she needs to work on and become aware of the deadlines.</p>
<p>An alternate route to rushing your daughter into portfolio prep at this late date is to look for liberal arts colleges with strong art programs or ones that have a connection to art schools. This way she can satisfy her interest at a more reasonable pace. And if she decides in the end not to go the art route she would have options. </p>
<p>If you give us and idea of what part of the country, what kind of grades/stats she has, we can recommend possibilities. For instance - on the east coast I would say look at Bard, Bennington, Hampshire</p>
<p>Out west you might consider Reed college - they have a 5 year BA/BFA program with Pacific Northwest College of Art [url=<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/apply/academics/is_dd_div.html]Reed”>http://www.reed.edu/apply/academics/is_dd_div.html]Reed</a> College | Admission | Reed College Admission Office<a href=“all%20the%20way%20at%20the%20bottom%20of%20the%20page”>/url</a></p>
