Art at WashU

<p>Thank you, I’m really excited for it =]
A lot of my friends also applied to WashU this year and they definitely have talent + grades/scores but they were all put on WashU’s infamous waitlist. I, however, thought that my stats were in the competitive range yet I got in with scholarship. So I don’t know what the typical scores are, but maybe even if your D isn’t really all that strong academically, if she has a really strong portfolio/art extracurriculars/shown passion then they could count that for a heavier percentage on her application.
Plus it helps to make (and maintain!) a strong impression on the admissions staff and keep in mind that the freshman class is only 90 students; I didn’t know that until I visited in early April!</p>

<p>My stats:
GPA- 97% or 4.0
ACT- 34
SATs- 2200 (but I ended up not sending those because my SAT IIs were so poor)
Portfolio - the usual slides, art director’s recc, my brochure/pamphlet + postcard from my solo exhibition, an artist’s essay plus an artist’s statement.</p>

<p>If you or your daughter have any other questions I’d be happy to help.</p>
