Taxguy, Mackinaw and company, I have been following the art school thread since summer and have learned a great deal from all the discussions and campus visit critiques.

Taxguy, let me offer my best wishes to your daughter in her search.

My D has narrowed her search to four art schools: RISD, MICA, SAIC and Cooper Union. She had on campus portfolio reviews at MICA and SAIC and was accepted, so the pressure is off. She has a portfolio review at Cooper Union this Friday.

CMU is an excellent school for art; unfortunately its two and a half miles from home and my daughter wants to see the world from a different urban perspective, further away from parents.

Did anyone’s child submit a portfolio to the National ARTS Awards or plan to submit one to the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards? Many arts oriented schools offer merit aid to attract students who place in these competitions. Also, some art schools offer merit to students from high schools that are members of the National Art Honor Society.

Just some thoughts…
