Thanks for that! So, I’m thinking… that colleges have a number of fairly “fixed” spots to offer. This would be based on budgets, class size, facilities etc. And they generally know that a certain percentage of accepted applicants will accept the offer. SO, maybe some years they have 2 more, or maybe three less art students than others, I guess? Or do they fill to a certain capacity off the waitlist to keep a minimum of, say 65 students?
Yes. I’m sure where ever she goes will be a great experience. And then there’s grad school too. This is the place she wants to be most. She’s looked at Cooper student work and it appeals to her more than the work at RISD, SAIC, and Cal Arts. And that hometest consumed her entire winter break. Also, it’s very important to her to be with SMART art students. And she gets no points for good GPA or SAT scores at any of these programs. Different than applying to a liberal arts school with good stats and then a really good art “hook”. We’ll know by April or so, I guess!
