That Depends.

Are you majoring in Design or Art. If it’s design then it can go either way, but if you choose to go to an art department for design at an university then make sure it a has a reputable name, such a UCLA. If you plan on majoring in the Fine Arts then I highly recommend a traditional Art & Design school.

As for you Art & Design portfolio, depending on which are school your trying to get into art portfolio are look at more than your GPA and some don’t even required SATs or ACTs, but some do.

I don’t know what grade your in, but there art schools who love student that have the full package; grades, high test scores, superior art portfolio. You grades and SATs put you in the running for full or half tuition Merit scholarships at Art & Design school. If I was you, I would attend National Portfolio Day and or wait out a year and build a stellar art portfolio by doing some pre-college art classes.
