Where else should we look?

Hi
One of the schools I don’t see mentioned often is Cleveland Institute of Art. My daughter visited there in the Spring. She is interested in illustration, and more specifically in the CIA biomedical illustration major. Kids that are accepted into that program take academic/science courses through Case Western.
My kid will be going to MICA in the Fall (well we’re keeping our fingers crossed about that, she’s accepted but she’s supposed to prove to us that she’s grown up enough to handle it over the summer).
She was a National Merit Commended student and got very nice scholarship offers from CIA, MICA, Syracuse, Pratt, Parsons, LCAD, and SUNY Purchase. Initially she really loved RISD and was accepted there, but they didn’t offer any merit aid so it was too expensive for us to consider.
Syracuse might be a good fit for your daughter since it is a “regular” university.
Good luck!
