Fine Art Schools

I have been accepted as a BFA photography major to School of Visual Arts, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, California College of the Arts and is still waiting to hear from San Francisco Art Institute. Though I'm focused on SVA or SAIC, I'm not sure where to go. Could anybody give me any advice?

Hi! I got accepted to SVA too! Im a photography major as well…anyway…i think that you should definately fo to SVA…its definately one of the best and somewhere that will help you go further with your art and do something with it…but ultimately the choice is up to you…do whatever you feel is the right move for you personally, whatever decision you feel you will benefit the most from…Good Luck and take care!

After my two years at Saint Louis University, I plan on transferring to an art school to pursue a career in art, visual art. I'm not exactly sure on what I'll get into, anything that deals with visual art is good to me. I have looked at Kansas City Art Institue and the Art Institute of Chicago. They seem great, but I am not sure on a good art school. If someone can give me an opinion about these schools or any other, I would appreciate it.

Try the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning (DAAP). It has several nationally ranked programs and is a great midwestern school. The tuition and living expenses are very reasonable. Plus UC gives out a ton of scholarships.
I have heard that transferring into DAAP is a little tricky and competetive. Just make sure that you have really good grades before applying.

I’m a 4th year (sophomore) in senior school (high school) in Ireland. I just completed my Junior Cert and did reasonably well (8 honors and 2 pass) and I really have my heart set on going to college in the U.S or Canada. I want to major in Film. Can someone tell me what my chances are? Colleges I have in mind are University of Toronto, University of Chicago and School of the Art Institute Chicago.

It’s hard to judge how well you, as an International student, have in terms of chances at an American or Canadian University. University of Toronto is a decent Canadian school, yet it simply doesn’t compare to the University of Chicago (which is extremely competitive). I don’t know anything about the Art Institute. The schools you’re interested in aren’t known for Film, so I’d recommend you also look at the University of Southern California and the New York University, both having excellent film programs. Good luck.

i was wondering what my chances are of getting into a good grad school for painting (also some illustration, i want to do children's books)
i'm from arkansas, senior finishing a degree in fine arts, and i have a 3.75. i've won several awards, and recieved scholarships to KCAI and MCA when i applied to undergraduate schools (but i couldn't afford to live out of state at that time) i've also headed arts programs at Girl's Inc and Hospice.
i'm not really looking at going to a snotty school like RISD, but more like university of georgia, cal state-fullerton, indiana, or seattle. (or if i was to pick a snotty school, i wouldn't mind going to the Art Institute of Chicago)
anyhoo, i was just wanting some advice on how to get into a great grad school and some steps i should take to help my chances. i'm planning on taking at least a year off to get some money since my parents aren't rich. Thank ya!

Sounds like you have laid some pretty great groundwork.
I would make sure you have a good portfolio and keep it updated while you are taking time off from school. I don't think you will have any problems getting into whatever school you choose.

Congratulations and good luck!
