<p>I'd like to have you in class. Scores, as always, need to show high aptitude such that attention can be paid to the rest of your portfolio rather than being red flags.</p>

<p>So what should my scores be then?</p>

<p>since college admissions is pretty insane these days, its really hard to say for sure. you seem like a pretty accomplished artist so one thing i think might give you a bit of an edge and make you stand out more is if you send in a visual arts supplement along with your app. based on my experiences, i think sending my art portfolio added to my app and helped me get in.</p>

<p>Your scores should be pretty high....I would say around a 2200. If so, I think you have a good a chance as anyone. Also, take some SAT II's. 700+ on each one is strong. Good luck.</p>
