<p>well this whole conversation has been pointless. who cares about the term “typical asian parents?” give the kid some help!!</p>
<p>anyway, i’m a senior, and i’m deciding between two universities for art: UCLA and SAIC. what i’ve done to convince my mom is that both schools are very, VERY highly accredited for art. print out a top 10 best art schools list and highlight SCAD. if anything, apply to all the best art schools (SAIC, RISD, SVA, Pratt, UCLA, Yale, etc.) and show them that though you are going into art, the school you are going to is very highly accredited.</p>
<p>beyond that, if you can’t convince them, don’t give up your dream. don’t. find somewhere cheap and go there. show your parents that you’re going to the best of the best; i’m sure they’ll be convinced. AND GET A SCHOLARSHIP. GET A MILLION SCHOLARSHIPS. if you haven’t heard of scholastic art, LOOK IT UP and APPLY FOR IT next year as a senior. GET MONEY AND AWARDS FOR YOUR ART. be the best asian (or chinese!) person of the art community, and your parents won’t be able to resist bragging!</p>
