Shoogoo32 notes,“The lady who gave me a portfolio review couldn’t stop talking about how well rounded mica students are because they’re also very intelligent. Is this actually true?”

Response: Being from Maryland, I’ve gotten to know a lot about MICA. I even had the pleasure of meeting one of the associate deans. MICA is among one of the very few stand alone art schools that take their liberal arts VERY seriously. RISD is probably the other one.

MICA values academics for both admission and scholarships. They don’t water down their liberal arts courses either, as some art schools are known to do.

Thus, what the MICA representative said to you seems quite correct.
