Art at WashU

<p>Yes, she’s a junior. We just visited there last week. First we scheduled a general tour, general info session and a separate tour of the art school through the admissions office. The art program also offers a portfolio review via National Portfolio Days or on campus. See link below: <a href=“http://artsci.wustl.edu/~artweb/washUSoa/admissions/index.html[/url]”>http://artsci.wustl.edu/~artweb/washUSoa/admissions/index.html&lt;/a&gt;
In order to schedule a review, the admissions office told me to email one of the art school deans directly. After not hearing back from the dean, we called by phone and set up an appointment. The review took about 30 minutes and was with just my D. Us parents waited in the waiting area until it was over, at which point the dean came out and spoke with us a bit about how she thought my D was on the right track with her art, etc. The dean knew that this was not her final portfolio and it became clearer to my D during the review, which of her pieces were preferred to others. So, to answer your question, it was more like a formal review of D’s art portfolio in progress. They do state on their website that such a review does not substitute for the submission of slides. I hope this helps.</p>
