Do art schools hate manga?

[skieurope]

They did ask a follow-up question about boarding schools that nobody seems to have really addressed.

OK, the art portfolio for BS, however strong it is, will not offset an otherwise mediocre application. Additionally, since the original post is really a variation of a theme, I have answered the question about boarding school admissions, albeit obliquely, in the past:

I don’t mean to be short, but your continued pattern of questions comes across, to me at least, as the “grasping at straws” approach to BS admissions. There is no magic formula to an acceptance, sorry to say. Pursue your passions, get good grades, score high on the SSAT, nail the interview and essays, and let the chips fall where they may.
