Is CMU precollege worth it? A qualified yes: if you can afford it, if you want to know if you fit in a BFA design program, if you want expert help with your portfolio, or if CMU is your dream school. The program prepares you to apply to their program and all similar programs. They take all of the guesswork out of the process, which is huge. They also accept a lot of precollege students after the program is over. It’s not the most fun program (If you go to Northwestern, from all reports, you’ll have one of the best summers of your life.) because all of the precollege DPM students are hoping to get those coveted acceptances to the college program, so there is a lot of competition. (In this respect, it’s not like the college program. Once you are accepted, your classmates are your allies.) But do I recommend it? Yes–and so would my D, I think.
