@julezsng516‌ Cooper Union does not care about your GPA/SAT (to an extent… obviously) if you are not applying for school of engineering. The school of Art allows you to take classes in all ranges of art— I remember going through the choices and it was very diverse. If you are set on Cooper Union as your target school then make sure your portfolio is ready and killer cause the competition for Cooper Union is crayyyy.

As much as your portfolio matters and such… the hometest(has the most weight to any part of the application) ---- is really fine art kinda centric. It revolves around having an idea, but the thing is, if you are more familiar with fine art than it will be much easier to illustrate and bring those ideas to life on paper. People say that they dont “look for technical skill as much as creativity” but the truth is, the more technical skill you have the easier it is to express the creativity and ideas you have.

The Cooper Union school of art classes can be found somewhere on their website i think, good luck!
