No problem. And don’t worry about grad school. If you going to art school for grad they’ll be looking more at your portfolio, not where you went for undergrad. You portfolio will show what you really have learned. Kara Walker went to ACA (now SCAD) for undergrad and RISD for grad. If she likes SCAD and sees herself there, then that’s where she wants to go. And if she wants to go to RISD for grad you have better chances coming from another school.

And I was told when I was at RISD that they do take AP scores for liberal arts courses if it’s a 4 or 5. AP Art not at all. Is that really what they told you? Maybe I heard wrong. Its been a while.

And I can’t be but a little surprised that your daughter didn’t like the food or dorms. I took precollege there during the summer and I liked the rooms. They were about the same size as the honors dorms USC though I can agree that there bathrooms left more to be desired. And I honestly thought the food wasn’t bad when I was over there. Different taste I guess.

Good luck to your daughter!
