<p>I’ve also gotten my portfolio reviewed by WUSTL when they came to the Corcoran Museum here in the DC Metro Area for Portfolio Day. The review was overwhemingly positive and I also went to a WUSTL get together at an architecture firm in DC. People on this site always talk about showing interest and I’ve been added to their mailing list like nine times now.</p>

<p>Finally I plan on applying to thei Portfolio Plus Summer art program for High School students.</p>

<p>Is there anything that strikes you all as in need of improvement</p>

<p>Fellow IBer here. Your art looks great (I didn’t take IB art, but I remember all the photos being thrown around at my school), and your specs are good too. Keep showing interest, they might give you a travel grant. I showed interest over the summer, and I visited on grant in September. Good luck!</p>

<p>Art’s hard to say in terms of scores and such. Just keep your grades up and make sure your SATs are strong- I don’t exactly know what they expect for art students, but I’d figure at least a 2050, which it seems like you’re on track to get :-D</p>
