<p>I’m applying as a transfer to SCAD. I already have my essay, but when my dad read it he said it was too “dance focused”. I chose to express who I am and why I want to attend SCAD by showing through my essay my first experience in ballet and how that made me the person I am today. However, I want to major in fashion design so I don’t know if maybe I should write a fashion oriented essay?
I really need some advice because I’m an international student and neither I or my parents know much about the US process of admissions.
Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t know about SCAD specifically but I feel that your dance essay can work if you also connect it to fashion design. Maybe the movements in dance to the gracefulness of the models or the movements in dance to the flourishes of a fashion drawing. Transfer your love of dancing to the fashion world. But keep how dancing and art in general has made you the person you are today. Hope this helps. I’m afraid I don’t know too much about art schools.</p>
<p>thanks a lot! your suggestions have helped a lot, I’m in the process of modifying my essay :)</p>
