I have a lot of friends that are applying to Art Schools at colleges such as NYU, and they have told me that your standarized test scores are not a big factor in admissions for those schools. Rather, it's the quality of the portfolio. If these schools like your artwork, you will get accepted, according to them. However, I'm not absolutely sure its like this at Wash U, but I would imagine so. I mean, how does your SAT score reflect your art ability!?

wow, not the school of art! you not only get to waste millions of dollars on worthless museums and design objects that look like they were put together by someone who was drunk, but nice to know you are preparing for the real world. i was drawing at a very young age and was pretty good at it, i have interest in it but im not going to waste my 4-yrs or even my life in majoring in it.
